With the discovery of the double neutron star (DNS) merger event GW170817 by LIGO, DNS systems have become one of the important candidates for gravitational wave (GW) observation. There are 19 DNS systems that have been discovered, and PSR J1906+0746 is the youngest DNS system with the age of about 0.1 Myrs. We simulate its orbital decay over its entire life by the GW radiation from the initial stage to the coalescence. For the DNS PSR J1906+0746, we obtain its initial orbital period of 3.99 hrs (3.98 hrs at present) with the nearly circular orbit, and the merger age of 3.18 × 108 yr. At the last minute of coalescence, corresponding to the orbital radius change from 335 to 30 km, we present the GW frequency to be 30 and 1122 Hz, respectively. As a comparison, with the GW frequency from 45 to 450 Hz, the orbital radii of the source GW170817 correspond to 163 and 57 km, respectively.
Andradite-rich garnet is a common U-bearing mineral in a variety of alkalic igneous rocks and skarn deposits, but has been largely neglected as a U–Pb chronometer. In situ laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry U–Pb dates of andradite-rich garnet from a syenite pluton and two iron skarn deposits in the North China craton demonstrate the suitability and reliability of the mineral in accurately dating magmatic and hydrothermal processes. Two hydrothermal garnets from the iron skarn deposits have homogenous cores and zoned rims (Ad86Gr11 to Ad98Gr1) with 22–118 ppm U, whereas one magmatic garnet from the syenite is texturally and compositionally homogenous (Ad70Gr22 to Ad77Gr14) and has 0.1–20 ppm U. All three garnets have flat time-resolved signals obtained from depth profile analyses for U, indicating structurally bound U. Uranium is correlated with REE in both magmatic and hydrothermal garnets, indicating that the incorporation of U into the garnet is largely controlled by substitution mechanisms. Two hydrothermal garnets yielded U–Pb dates of 129 ± 2 (2σ; MSWD = 0.7) and 130 ± 1 Ma (2σ; MSWD = 0.5), indistinguishable from zircon U–Pb dates of 131 ± 1 and 129 ± 1 Ma for their respective ore-related intrusions. The magmatic garnet has a U–Pb age of 389 ± 3 Ma (2σ; MSWD = 0.6), consistent with a U–Pb zircon date of 388 ± 2 Ma for the syenite. The consistency between the garnet and zircon U–Pb dates confirms the reliability and accuracy of garnet U–Pb dating. Given the occurrence of andradite-rich garnet in alkaline and ultramafic magmatic rocks and hydrothermal ore deposits, our results highlight the potential utilization of garnet as a powerful U–Pb geochronometer for dating magmatism and skarn-related mineralization. 相似文献

Wavefields in porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids are simulated in this paper. Based on the sealed system theory,
the medium model considers both the relative motion between the fluids and the solid skeleton and the relaxation mechanisms
of porosity and saturation (capillary pressure). So it accurately simulates the numerical attenuation property of the wavefields
and is much closer to actual earth media in exploration than the equivalent liquid model and the unsaturated porous medium
model on the basis of open system theory. The velocity and attenuation for different wave modes in this medium have been discussed
in previous literature but studies of the complete wave-field have not been reported. In our work, wave equations with the
relaxation mechanisms of capillary pressure and the porosity are derived. Furthermore, the wavefield and its characteristics
are studied using the numerical finite element method. The results show that the slow P3-wave in the non-wetting phase can
be observed clearly in the seismic band. The relaxation of capillary pressure and the porosity greatly affect the displacement
of the non-wetting phase. More specifically, the displacement decreases with increasing relaxation coefficient. 相似文献

The Mesozoic Yangzhaiyu lode gold deposit is situated in the southern edge of the North China craton. Gold mineralization
is hosted in Archean amphibolite facies metamorphic rocks, and consists mainly of auriferous quartz veins. Pyrite is the predominant
sulfide mineral, with minor amounts of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Based on morphology and paragenesis, there are
three generations of pyrite, termed as first generation (G1), second generation (G2), and third generation (G3). They have
distinct contents, occurrences, and distribution patterns of gold. The coarse-grained, euhedral G1 pyrite contains negligible
to low levels of gold, whereas both invisible and visible gold are present in the fine- to medium-grained G2 pyrite that is
characterized by abundance of microfractures and porosities, forming a foam-like texture. Laser ablation inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) depth profiles indicate that invisible gold occurs either as solid solution or as nanoparticles
of gold-bearing tellurides in the G2 pyrite. Visible gold is widespread and present as irregular grains and stringers of native
gold mostly along grain boundaries or filling microfractures of pyrite, likely resulting from remobilization of invisible
gold once locked in the G2 pyrite. The G3 pyrite, invariably intergrown with chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena, contains
the highest levels of invisible gold. There is a positive correlation between Au, Ag, and Te, indicating that gold occurs
as submicroscopic Au-bearing telluride inclusions in the host minerals. Whenever gold, either invisible or visible, is present,
As is always below or only marginally higher than the detection limit of LA-ICP-MS. This indicates that As played an insignificant
role in gold mineralization. Tellurides are widespread in the auriferous quartz veins, consisting mainly of petzite, calaverite,
hessite, altaite, and tellurobismuthite. Native gold commonly occurs as intergrowths with tellurides. Textural evidence indicates
a precipitation sequence, in a temporal order, of calcaverite, petzite, altaite, tellurobismuthite, and hessite. Little amount
of sulfide phases has been found in association with the tellurides, indicating that tellurides were deposited under low S
fugacity (fS2) and/or high Te fugacity (fTe2) conditions. The textural relationships, when combined with fluid inclusion microthermometric data of auriferous quartz veins
and tellurides thermodynamic data, permit estimation for logfTe2 during telluride formation, which are −6.8 to −10.8 at 300°C and −9.6 to −17.6 at 250°C. Available geochronological and geochemical
data suggest that Te was most likely derived from the late Mesozoic magmatic rocks widespread in the Xiaoqinling district
and other parts of the southern North China craton, which were emplaced broadly contemporaneous with gold mineralization at
Yangzhaiyu. This study highlights the role of Te and tellurides as important gold scavengers in As-deficient ore fluids. 相似文献
