Thermo-mechanical properties of RTM-made carbon fibre/polyimide composite attaching collar under transient heating

This study focuses on the thermo-mechanical properties of Carbon Fibre/Polyimide Composite (CFPC) attaching collars under transient heating. The CFPC attaching collars were fabricated by a high-temperature resin transfer moulding process, and their thermo-mechanical properties under the conditions of simultaneous transient heating and bending load were investigated. The results show that the attaching collar tends to fail at 118% of the limit load. The failure mode includes the fracture of the connecting screws, local extrusion damage of the hole edges, and slight ablation damage at the outer plies. And there is no observable residual deformation in the composite attaching collar. Furthermore, considering that the material properties vary with temperature, a progressive damage model based on the sequential thermo-mechanical coupling method was established to study the failure mechanism of the attaching collar. Finally, the damage factor of the CFPC was calculated to assess the safety status of the attaching collar. The results show that the primary damage modes of the composite attaching collar are intralaminar failure, which mainly occurs at the heat insulation layer and the hole edges, and these slightly affect the structural bearing capacity. A good correlation between the experiment and FEA is obtained. The test methods and analysis models proposed contribute to the safety assessment of composite structures under transient heating.     

On the optical variability of a be star,HDE 245770, — the optical counterpart of the transient X-ray pulsar A0535+26

Photoelectric WBVR observations of Be star HDE 245770=V 725 Tau, the optical counterpart of the transient X-ray pulsar A0535+26, having a pulse period of about 104 s, were conducted for more than 10 years. An irregular long-term optical variability of the star with amplitudes of the order of a few tenths of magnitude was found to be a usual phenomenon. In some cases rapid changes of the star's optical luminosity with a characteristic period of a few tens of minutes or a few hours, and an amplitude of several hundredths of magnitude in all the spectral bands used, which have practically coincided or correlated with the X-ray pulsar outbursts detected by X-ray satellites, were observed.Photoelectric recording of the optical flux from HDE 245770 were made in 1981–1982 with a time resolution of 1 second and 10 s, respectively, in theR spectral band (₀ 7000 Å) and in the narrowH -emission-line band (_1/2 75 Å) using a 48-cm reflector of High-Mountain Tien-Shan observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute near Alma-Ata. An analysis of autocorrelation functions of the flux changes from object under study and a comparison with the star BD+26° 876 indicated the variability of luminosity of V 725 Tau in theR spectral band on a time scale of a few tens of second; this variability resembles shot noise with a characteristic time of stochastic bursts of about 15–20 s and their amplitudes of about a few tenths of a percent. InH -emission-line radiation autocorrelation functions and power spectra show quasiperiodic variability of luminosity of HDE 245770 with a characteristic period of about 100–150 s and an amplitude in the neighbour-hood of 0.5%. The latter result is not quite reliable because of not quite fine weather conditions during the observations; independent observations and check-up are required.

TOFS:一种新的宽带源DOA估计算法

介绍了一种新的宽带源DOA估计方法:TOFS。与TOPS(投影子空间正交性测试)方法类似,该方法通过同时测试频域各频段噪声子空间与阵列搜索流型之间的正交性来进行DOA估计。作为对比,根据非相关MUSIC方法,提出了一种新的适用于宽带的非相关MUSIC方法,称为I-MUSIC方法。与宽带相关方法不同,TOFS方法不需要任何初始值的预估。与宽带非相关方法也不相同,TOFS方法同时测试各频段噪声子空间与阵列搜索流型之间的正交性。仿真了TOFS与I-MUSIC、CSSM、TOPS的性能比较。仿真结果表明,CSSM方法在低信噪比时有较好的性能,TOFS方法在中等信噪比以上时,有较好的性能。同时,TOFS方法避免了TOPS方法中常常出现的伪峰。

Infrared radiation from compact X-ray sources

Observations of the X-ray binaries 4U 0115+634 and A 0535+262 performed in 1981 – 1982 revealed significant IR variabilities of these sources. 4U 0115+634 was observed twice, in the state close to X-ray activity, and in the state of low activity, thus changing from K = 7^m.75 to K > 9^m. A 0535+262 shows the temporal variations ranged from tens minutes to some days. The regular variations of IR brightness are suspected with teh period close to 104 s that corresponds to the period of axial rotation of neutron star in A 0535+262. The results obtained present arguments in favour of hypothesis that IR radiation is generated near the accreting neutron star and is possibly of maser nature.

A study of a complete soft X-ray selected sample of AGN

We present preliminary results from analyses of hard X-ray and optical observations of a soft X-ray selected sample. We created a small but complete sample with 20 of the softest and brightest objects with low Galactic absorption from the ROSAT bright soft X-ray selected radio-quiet AGN sample. This sample consists of 10 narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and 10 broad-line Seyfert galaxies. We analyze ASCA data in the 0.6–10 keV band and optical spectra from ground-based telescopes. We investigate the photon indices in the hard X-ray band, soft excesses in the ASCA band, and optical emission line properties. The photon indices in the 2–10 keV band are nominal for both narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies in each class compared with other heterogeneous samples. All of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies show soft excesses, but this component seems to be less significant for broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. There seems to be a trend of steeper X-ray spectra to be accompanied by narrower Hβ for narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, but this is not extended to the larger velocity width regime of broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, and no clear trend is seen among them.     

LMXB luminosity function and connection to globular cluster in early type galaxies

We derive bias-corrected X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of LMXBs detected in 14 E and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra. After correcting for incompleteness, the individual XLFs are statistically consistent with a single power-law. A break at or near L_X,Eddington , as previously reported, is not required in any individual case. The combined XLF with a reduced error, however, suggests a possible break at L_X = 5 × 10³⁸ erg s⁻¹, which may be consistent with the Eddington luminosity of neutron stars with the largest possible mass (3 M), or of He-enriched neutron star binaries. We confirm that the total X-ray luminosity of LMXBs is correlated with the the near-IR luminosities, but the scatter exceeds that expected from measurement errors. The scatter in L_X(LMXB)/L_K appears to be correlated with the specific frequency of globular clusters, as reported earlier.

We cross-correlate X-ray binaries with globular clusters determined by ground-based optical and HST observations in 6 giant elliptical galaxies. With the largest sample reported so far (300 GC LMXBs with a 5:2 ratio between red and blue GCs), we compare their X-ray properties, such as X-ray hardness, XLF and L_X/L_B and find no statistically significance difference between different groups of LMXBs. Regardless of their association with GCs, both GC and field LMXBs appear to follow the radial profile of the optical halo light, rather than that of more extended GCs. This suggests that while metallicity is a primary factor in the formation of LMXBs in GCs, there may be a secondary factor (e.g., encounter rate) playing a non-negligible role.
