We outline our experience in organizing the first edition of the Workshop on Matter, Astrophysics, Gravitation, Ions and Cosmology, held in virtual and in-person format, denominated MAGIC23, held from 6 to 10 March, 2023, in Praia do Rosa, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The event aimed to bring together leading academic scientists, professors, students, and research scholars for exchanging experiences and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, practical challenges, and experimental and theoretical solutions adopted in the investigation fields within the scope of the meeting. The workshop offered to the participants a platform for scientific and academic projects, partnerships, and presentation of high-quality research contributions describing original and unpublished results on topics related to matter, astrophysics, gravitation, ions, and cosmology.  相似文献   

Dust Detection by the Wave Instrument on STEREO: Nanoparticles Picked up by the Solar Wind?

Solar Physics - The STEREO wave instrument (S/WAVES) has detected a very large number of intense voltage pulses. We suggest that these events are produced by impact ionisation of nanoparticles...  相似文献   

STEREO SECCHI and S/WAVES Observations of Spacecraft Debris Caused by Micron-Size Interplanetary Dust Impacts     

St. Cyr  O. C.  Kaiser  M. L.  Meyer-Vernet  N.  Howard  R. A.  Harrison  R. A.  Bale  S. D.  Thompson  W. T.  Goetz  K.  Maksimovic  M.  Bougeret  J.-L.  Wang  D.  Crothers  S. 《Solar physics》2009,256(1-2):475-488

Early in the STEREO mission observers noted that the white-light instruments of the SECCHI suite were detecting significantly more spacecraft-related “debris” than any previously flown coronagraphic instruments. Comparison of SECCHI “debris storms” with S/WAVES indicates that almost all are coincident with the most intense transient emissions observed by the radio and plasma waves instrument. We believe the debris is endogenous (i.e., from the spacecraft thermal blanketing), and the storms appear to be caused by impacts of large interplanetary dust grains that are detected by S/WAVES. Here we report the observations, compare them to interplanetary dust distributions, and document a reminder for future spacebased coronagraphic instrument builders.

Luminescence-dated aeolian deposits of late Quaternary age in the southern Tibetan Plateau and their implications for landscape history   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

ZhongPing Lai  Knut Kaiser  Helmut Brückner   《Quaternary Research》2009,72(3):421-430

Aeolian deposits are widely distributed in the interior of the Tibetan Plateau, and their chronology is poorly known. It is not yet clear whether they accumulated only after the last deglaciation, or over a longer time. We applied quartz OSL dating to aeolian samples from the Lhasa area with OSL ages ranging from 2.9 ± 0.2 to at least 118 ± 11 ka. The probability density frequency (PDF) distribution of 24 ages reveals age clusters at about 3, 8, 16–21, 33, and 79–83 ka, indicating enhanced sediment accumulation then. The results show that aeolian deposition occurred throughout most of the last 100 ka. This implies that: 1) an ice sheet covering the whole Tibetan Plateau during the last glacial maximum (LGM) could not have existed; and 2) erosion during the last deglaciation was not as strong as previously proposed, such that not all pre-Holocene loess was removed. The age distribution shown in the PDF indicates that aeolian accumulation is episodic. Sand-formation events revealed by age clusters at 3, 8, and 16–21 ka imply roughly synchronous environmental responses to corresponding global-scale arid events.  相似文献   

Brittle Rock Failure in the Steg Lateral Adit of the Lötschberg Base Tunnel     

F. Rojat  V. Labiouse  P. K. Kaiser  F. Descoeudres 《Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering》2009,42(2):341-359

Summary  During the crossing of brittle rock formations at the L?tschberg base tunnel, failure phenomena have been observed both at the tunnel face and at the walls. A detailed analysis has been undertaken to explain these behaviours, based on the recent developments of Canadian research on brittle failure mechanisms. At the tunnel walls, a very good agreement is found between the calculated and observed damage and between two prediction methods, i.e. a semi-empirical failure criterion and elastic calculations with the “brittle Hoek-Brown parameters.” Near the face, due to the 3D nature of the stress conditions, some limitations of these approaches have been highlighted, and the growth of wall failure has been analysed. This research allowed a better understanding of the brittle rock mass behaviour at the L?tschberg base tunnel and showed that brittle failure processes dominate the behaviour of deep, highly stressed excavations in massive to moderately jointed rock. It also illustrates where improvements to the adopted approaches are required.  相似文献   

Are the missing X-ray breaks in gamma-ray burst afterglow light curves merely hidden?     

P. A. Curran  A. J. van der Horst  R. A. M. J. Wijers 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2008,386(2):859-863

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack of achromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX or pre- Swift era. Specifically, relatively few breaks, consistent with jet breaks, are observed in the X-ray light curves of these bursts. If these breaks are truly missing, it has serious consequences on the interpretation of GRB jet collimation and energy requirements, and the use of GRBs as cosmological tools. Here, we address the issue of X-ray breaks that are possibly 'hidden' and hence the light curves are misinterpreted as being single power laws. We do so by synthesizing X-ray telescope (XRT) light curves and fitting both single and broken power laws, and comparing the relative goodness of each fit via Monte Carlo analysis. Even with the well-sampled light curves of the Swift era, these breaks may be left misidentified, hence caution is required when making definite statements on the absence of achromatic breaks.  相似文献   

Die Phasenkontrastmikroskopie als Hilfsmittel zur Bestimmung feinkörniger,speziell dünner,transparenter Minerale.     

Dr. Horst Piller 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1952,3(4):307-334

Zusammenfassung Es wird mit Hilfe von Zeigerdiagrammen eine anschauliche Darstellung vom Zustandekommen der Phasenkontrasterscheinungen gegeben. An Hand theoretischer Überlegungen und experimenteller Versuche wird die besondere Eignung der Phasenkontrastmikroskopie für die Bestimmung der Brechzahl transparenter dünner Teilchen nach der Immersionsmethode nachgewiesen. Daraus ergeben sich Vorteile für die mikroskopische Beurteilung der Minerale in Tonfraktionen. Das wird an zwei praktischen Beispielen gezeigt. Der Vergleich der Ergebnisse der mit dem Phasenkontrastverfahren durchgeführten Tonuntersuchungen mit den auf röntgenographischem Wege erzielten läßt eine gute Übereinstimmung erkennen.  相似文献

A complete sample of radio sources in the North Ecliptic Cap, selected at 38 MHz – III. Further imaging observations and the photometric properties of the sample     

Mark Lacy  Mary Elizabeth Kaiser  Gary J. Hill  Steve Rawlings  Gareth Leyshon 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1999,308(4):1087-1095

Further imaging observations of a sample of radio sources in the North Ecliptic Cap are presented and a number of new identifications are made. Using redshifts from spectroscopic data presented in a companion paper by Lacy et al., the photometric properties of the galaxies in the sample are discussed. It is shown that: (1) out to at least z ≈0.6 radio galaxies are good standard candles irrespective of radio luminosity; (2) for 0.6≲ z ≲1 a large fraction of the sample has magnitudes and colours consistent with a non-evolving giant elliptical, and (3) at higher redshifts, where the R -band samples the rest-frame UV flux, most objects have less UV luminosity than expected if they form their stellar populations at a constant rate from a high redshift to z ∼1 in unobscured star-forming regions (assuming an Einstein–de Sitter cosmology). The consequences of these observations are briefly discussed.  相似文献
