Results of radio observations of the cosmic gamma-ray burst GRB 080319B at 8.45 GHz during the afterglow are reported. The
observations were carried out on telescopes of the Zelenchukskaya and Svetloe Observatories of the Institute of Applied Astronomy,
Russian Academy of Sciences. Two outbursts in the radio brightness were detected in the afterglow of GRB 080319B. A total
of 148 radio observations were performed at 3.5, 6.2, and 13 cm. The observations were conducted in a mode with smooth scanning
in elevation, which was also used to update the flux densities of the primary reference sources. The first powerful radio
outburst was recorded on March 28, 2008, 6.86d after the gamma-ray burst, when the maximum flux density was F8.45 GHz = 44 ± 12 mJy. Almost two months later, a second increase in the radio brightness was observed. The flux density monotonically
increased from 19 mJy (59.55d) to 34mJy (59.79d) over 6.5 h; 1.17 d later, the flux density fell to 12mJy.At this last epoch, the radio flux demonstrated variability within
3σ on timescales of 9d−10d. The detected radio brightness increases are interpreted in terms of MHD interactions of a fast plasma outflow with a cloud
of inhomogeneous surrounding medium. This interaction is accompanied by restructuring of the relativistic plasma outflow;
the analysis of this process has been carried out. 相似文献
Results of the observations of the blazar J1159+2914 (S1156+295) in 2010–2013 are reported. The observations were carried out on the RATAN-600 radio telescope (Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences) at 4.85, 7.7, 11.1, and 21.7 GHz and the 32-m Zelenchuk and Badary radio telescopes of the Quasar-KVO Complex (Institute of Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences) at 4.85 and 8.57 GHz. A flare peaked in August 2010, after which the flux density decreased monotonically at all studied frequencies. Variability on a timescale of 7 days was detected at 7.7 and 11.1 GHz near the flare maximum. The delay in the maximum at 7.7 GHz relative to the maximum at 11.1 GHz was 1.5 d, implying a Lorentz factor γ = 55 and angle of the jet to the line of sight θ ≈ 2° since mid-2011. Searches for intraday variability (IDV) were undertaken by the 32-m telescopes, mostly since mid-2011. Intraday variability was confidently detected only at the Badary station on November 10–11, 2012 at 4.85 GHz: the IDV timescale was τacf = 6 h, the modulation index was m = 1.4%, and the flux density of the variable component was Svar = 126 mJy. 相似文献
We present the results of processing the VLBI observations performed at the Svetloe Observatory of the Institute of Applied Astronomy (IAA), Russian Academy of Sciences, in the period 2003–2005 within the framework of geodynamical programs of the International VLBI Service (IVS) for geodesy and astrometry. We analyzed the observations at the Svetloe Observatory, together with the observations at other stations of the global IVS network, at the IAA using a modified OCCAM package. The package uses new reduction models that decrease the systematic errors of the results. The motion of the stations, primarily of the Svetloe Observatory, is investigated to study the global geotectonic processes. Highly accurate estimates of the coordinate and baseline length variations have been obtained for the first time in Russia from observations at a Russian VLBI station. We determined the coordinates and velocity of the Svetloe VLBI station with errors of ~2 mm and 3 mm yr?1, respectively, and the baseline lengths between the stations with a sufficiently long observational history with an accuracy of 1–3 mm. The results are shown to be in good agreement with currently available models for the motion of tectonic plates. 相似文献
Within the model of solid-body accumulation of planets (or their nuclei) the accumulation and migration of bodies from the feeding zones of the giant planets are investigated. The investigation is based on results of computer simulation of evolving disks which initially consisted of hundreds of particles moving about the Sun and coagulating under collisions. In some models the disks initially consisted of identical bodies. In other models they included also almost-formed planets. The computer simulation results as well as analytical investigations of the disk evolution depending on the number of particles in the disk allowed some estimates and conclusions on the accumulation process when the number of initial bodies was great (~ 106–1012). In this paper the characteristics of an initial protoplanetary circumsolar cloud, the body migration in the forming solar system, the planet orbit evolution, the formation of the beyond-Neptune belt and asteroid belts between the giant planet orbits are considered. The results obtained confirm many analytical estimates earlier made by V. S. Safronov and his colleagues. 相似文献
We present the radio observations of the afterglow from the intense cosmic gamma-ray burst GRB 030329 performed with the radio telescopes of the Institute of Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, at the Svetloe (λ=3.5 cm) and Zelenchuk (λ=6 cm) Observatories. The difference between the fluxes measured in two different polarization modes suggests the existence of a circular polarization in the radio afterglow from GRB 030329. However, since the measurement errors of the fluxes with different circular polarizations are large, we cannot draw a firm conclusion about its detection; we can only set an upper limit on its value. An analysis of the possible generation mechanisms for the circular polarization of the relativistic jet suggests that there is a helical magnetic field in the jet. The existence of significant flux densities at various wavelengths during a long (≥10 days) period leads us to conclude that the hydrodynamic evolution of the relativistic bow shock takes place in the stellar wind, not in the interstellar medium. We have estimated the total GRB energy (E=1051 erg) (under the assumption of isotropic radiation) and the plasma density of the stellar wind from the presupernova (n=3 cm?3). The magnetic-field strength in the relativistic jet can be estimated as B≈100 G. 相似文献
Regular high-precision determinations of the Earth’s orientation parameters (EOPs) on the Quasar VLBI Network were begun in
August 2006. The observations are performed within the framework of two national programs: daily sessions at three observatories
of the Network to determine all five EOPs (the RU-E program) and 8-h sessions on the Zelenchukskaya-Badary and Svetloe-Badary
baselines to determine the Universal Time (the RU-U program). The observations from August 2006 through May 2007 are analyzed.
The rms deviations of the EOP values obtained in the RU-E program from the IERS C04 series are 1.1 mas for Xp and Yp, 37 μs for UT1-UTC, and 0.7 and 0.6 mas for Xc and Yc, respectively. These results closely match the prospective requirements of GLONASS. The rms deviations of the Universal Times
obtained in the RU-U program from the IERS C04 series are 146 μs. We consider the immediate prospects for improving the accuracy
of EOP determinations in daily sessions and for implementing the e-VLBI mode for an online determination of the Universal
Time.

The most powerful flare ever registered in the Galactic water-maser source W49N has been detected in long-term monitoring data in the 616–523 transition with line frequency f = 22.235 GHz carried out on the 22-m Simeiz, 32-m Toruń, 100-m Effelsberg, and 32-m Medicina radio telescopes, beginning in September 2017 and continuing in 2018. Some stages of the flare were monitored daily. Detailed variations of the source spectral flux density with time have been obtained. At the flare maximum, the flux exceeded P ≈ 8 × 104 Jy, and this was record highest flux registered over the entire history of observations of this source. Important conclusions related to details of the mechanism for the H2O line emission have been drawn. An exponential increase in the flare flux density was detected during both the rise and decline of the flare. The data obtained indicate that the maser is unsaturated, and remained in this state up to the maximum observed flux densities. Additional support for the idea that the maser is unsaturated is the shape of the dependence of the line width on the flux. The characteristics of the variations of the spectral flux density are probably associated with a sharp increase in the density of the medium and the photon flux that led to an increase in the temperature from an initial level of 10–40 K to hundreds of Kelvins. Interferometric maps of the object during the increase in the spectral flux density of the flare have been obtained. A possible mechanism for the primary energy release in W49N is considered.
Results of a study of the variability of the blazar J0721+7120 carried out on the RATAN-600 based on daily observations from
March 5, 2010 to April 30, 2010 at five frequencies from 2.3 to 21.7 GHz are reported. In the same time interval, 13 observing
sessions at 37 GHz were carried out on the 14-m radio telescope of the Mets?hovi Radio Astronomy Observatory of the Aalto
University School of Technology (Finland). From March 19, 2010 to October 20, 2010, 16 daily sessions at 6.2 cm and five sessions
at 3.5 cm were conducted on the 32-m radio telescope of the Zelenchukskaya Observatory (Quasar-KVO complex of the Institute
of Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences). A powerful flare was detected during the observations, with a time scale
of approximately 20 days, derived from an analysis of the light curves and the structure and autocorrelation functions. The
flare spectrum has been determined. In five sessions on the 32-m Zelenchukskaya telescope at 6.2 cm, intraday variability
with time scales 8-16 h was detected; in four sessions, trends with time scales longer than a day were observed. In three
sessions at 3.5 cm, intraday variability with a time scale of approximately 5 h was detected. 相似文献
Results of a study of the variability of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714 are reported. The data were obtained in 150 daily observations
on the RATAN-600 radio telescope at six frequencies from 0.97 to 21.7 GHz and 13 day-long sessions at a wavelength of 6.2
cm on the 32 m radio telescopes of the Zelenchukskaya, Svetloe, and Badary observatories (Quasar-KVO complex, Institute of
Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences). The RATAN-600 observations detected three “anti-flares,” or eclipses, when
the flux density decreased from an initially constant level and then returned to this level. The eclipse time scales obtained
from an analysis of light curves, structure functions, and autocorrelation functions are 12–20 days; the eclipse spectra were
determined. Intraday variability (IDV) with time scales of 10–12 hours was detected in three sessions on the 32-m radio telescopes. 相似文献
