On pulsar-driven mass ejection in low-mass X-ray binaries     

Lei Fu  Xiang-Dong Li 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,(12)

There is accumulating evidence for mass ejection in low-mass X-ray binaries(LMXBs)driven by radio pulsar activity during X-ray quiescence.We consider the condition for mass ejection by comparing the radiation pressure from a millisecond pulsar,and the gas pressure at the inner Lagrange point or at the surrounding accretion disk.We calculate the critical spin period of the pulsar below which mass ejection is allowed.Combining with the evolution of the mass transfer rate,we present constraints on the orbital ...  相似文献   

CCD photometry of W UMa-type contact binaries in the old open cluster Berkeley 39     

Yellapragada Ravi Kiron  Kandulapati Sriram  Pasagada Vivekananda Rao 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,(12)

We present the combined BVI multicolor photometric solutions of seven EW variables in the old open cluster Berkeley 39.The observations were carried out in the B and V passbands from the 2 m telescope at the IUCAA-Girawali Observatory in India.The analysis is done using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code and the fitted light curves are presented.The light curves appear to be symmetric in all the passbands.The photometric solutions suggest that the variables are W-type systems.The new ephemeris ind...  相似文献   

Relations between integrated and monochromatic luminosities of flat-spectrum radio quasars     

Lian-Zhong Lü 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,11(4)

We employ a sample of 362 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) to calculate their integrated luminosities by integrating the spectral energy distribution (SED) constructed with multi-band (radio,IR,optical,UV and X-ray) data.We compare these luminosities with those estimated from monochromatic luminosities by multiplying them by the conventional bolometric correction factors.Our analysis shows that the integrated luminosities calculated from the SED are much larger than the bolometric luminosities estimated ...  相似文献   

Strange star candidates revised within a quark model with chiral mass scaling     

Ang Li  Guang-Xiong Peng  Ju-Fu Lu 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,11(4)

We calculate the properties of static strange stars using a quark model with chiral mass scaling.The results are characterized by a large maximum mass (～ 1.6 M) and radius (～10 km).Together with a broad collection of modern neutron star models,we discuss some recent astrophysical observational data that could shed new light on the possible presence of strange quark matter in compact stars.We conclude that none of the present astrophysical observations can prove or confute the existence of strange stars.  相似文献   

A note on the discovery of a 2M_⊙ pulsar     

Xiao-Yu Lai  Ren-Xin Xu School of Physics  State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics  Technology  Peking University  Beijing  China 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,(6)

It is conventionally thought that the state equation of dense matter softens and thus cannot result in high maximum mass if pulsars are quark stars and that a recently discovered 2M⊙ pulsar (PSR J1614-2230) may make pulsars unlikely to be quark stars. However, this standard point of view would be revisited and updated if quark clustering could occur in cold quark matter because of the strong coupling be- tween quarks at realistic baryon densities in compact stars. It can be argued that the state equation of...  相似文献   

Dark halos acting as chaos controllers in asymmetric triaxial galaxy models     

Nicolaos D.Caranicolas  Euaggelos E.Zotos 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2011,(7)

We study the regular or chaotic character of orbits in a 3D dynamical model,describing a triaxial galaxy surrounded by a spherical dark halo component.Our numerical experiments suggest that the percentage of chaotic orbits decreases exponentially as the mass of the dark halo increases.A linear increase of the percentage of the chaotic orbits was observed as the scale length of the halo component increases. In order to distinguish between regular and chaotic motion,we chose to use the total angular momentum ...  相似文献   

处理相关光变时间延迟的新方法     

袁聿海 《天文学报》2010,51(3)

时间延迟相关函数(Time Delay Correlation Function,TDCF)方法是一种可以计算时间序列时间延迟的新方法,利用该方法计算blazar天体0316+413(NGC 1275)3个射电波段(4.8 GHz、8 GHz和14.5 GHz)的时间延迟并进行另外7个blazar源的多波段相关分析.对0316+413的计算结果表明:4.8 GHz光变延迟8 GHz光变410 d,即τ_(4.8-8)=410 d;4.8 GHz光变延迟14.5 GHz光变440 d,τ_(4.8-14.5)=440 d;8 GHz光变延迟14.5 GHz光变30 d,即τ_(8-14.5)=30 d;通过7个blazar天体的多波段相关分析,和离散相关函数(Discrete Correlation Function,DCF)方法相比,利用TDCF方法获得时间延迟是更加合理的.  相似文献

吴霄  刘智敏  闫大海  包昆森  戴本忠 《天文学报》2010,51(3)

从RXTE(Rossi X-ray timing explorer)观测原始数据出发,分析了耀变体3C 273在X射线波段2～10 keV从1996年2月2日(MJD 50115)到2007年8月27日(MJD 54339)的数据.一共得到了1 010次观测数据的光子谱指数和相应的流量,平均每次观测时间为1 666.76 s.通过分析3C 273在观测期间2～10 keV硬X射线的能谱变化及光变行为,发现在2000年2月,2003年3、4月,2004年2、3、7月,2006年及2007年,其光子谱指数Γ与流量lgF_(2～10 keV)存在显著反相关.在1999年和2000～2007年观测期间,Γ与lgF_(2～10 keV)月平均行为也同样存在显著反相关.对整个观测期间的光变行为作定量的分析,发现几次较大的光变,并在部分光谱拟合中发现Fe发射线存在的证据,其平均宽度为93.85±21.49 eV.通过分析光变强度与Fe发射线特性,发现3C 273同时具有耀变体与Seyfert星系的一些性质.  相似文献   

低高度角大气静力学延迟修正的改进     

刘艳  郭鹏  刘敏 《天文学报》2010,51(3)

进行低高度角观测是GPS(Global Positioning System)气象学的发展趋势,其中发展高精度的低高度角的大气静力学延迟修正是主要的关键技术.比较了3种计算无线电波从空间到地面接收机的大气静力学延迟修正方法:(1)在大气球对称假设下用探空气球资料路径积分得到大气静力学延迟;(2)在大气球对称假设下用NCEP(National Centers for Environmental Prediction)再分析资料得到大气静力学延迟;(3)用Niell的大气静力学映射函数得到大气静力学延迟.与2001年中国地区89个探空气球站资料计算得到的大气静力学映射函数比较结果显示:NCEP再分析资料路径积分的方法在低高度角(5°以下)的精度好于Niell映射函数模型约5倍.  相似文献   

相对论性快电子分布等离子体纵振荡的色散关系     

国洪梅  刘三秋 《天文学报》2010,51(4)

在相对论性情况下,从等离子体纵介电常数出发,推导出无磁化、无碰撞、各向同性的快电子分布等离子体纵振荡的色散方程.对纵振荡的色散方程进行解析分析,得到长波支和短波支的色散关系.由于解析色散曲线的不连续性,直接对无量纲化的纵振荡色散方程进行数值计算,得到相对论性快电子分布等离子体纵振荡完整的色散曲线.对数值结果进行拟合,得到简单的色散函数表述以便于应用.并在极端相对论条件下,将这种分布与经典Maxwell分布的色散关系进行比较,得出两种分布情况下纵振荡的色散关系在一定的波数范围内有类似的性质.  相似文献
