摘要:Ancient China recorded a wealth of astronomical observations, notably distinguished by the inclusion of empirical measurements of stellar observations. However, determining the precise observational epochs for these datasets poses a formidable challenge. This study employs the generalized Hough transform methodology to analyze two distinct sets of observational data originating from the Song and Yuan dynasties, allowing accurate estimation of the epochs of these stellar observations. This research introduces a novel and systematic approach, offering a scholarly perspective for the analysis of additional datasets within the domain of ancient astronomical catalogs in future investigations.

摘要:Strong atmospheric turbulence reduces astronomical seeing, causing speckle images acquired by groundbased solar telescopes to become blurred and distorted. Severe distortion in speckle images impedes image phase deviation in the speckle masking reconstruction method, leading to the appearance of spurious imaging artifacts. Relying only on linear image degradation principles to reconstruct solar images is insufficient. To solve this problem, we propose the multiframe blind deconvolution combined with non-rigid alignment (MFBD-CNRA) method for solar image reconstruction. We consider image distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence and use non-rigid alignment to correct pixel-level distortion, thereby achieving nonlinear constraints to complement image intensity changes. After creating the corrected speckle image, we use the linear method to solve the wavefront phase, obtaining the target image. We verify the effectiveness of our method results, compared with others, using solar observation data from the 1 m new vacuum solar telescope (NVST). This new method successfully reconstructs high-resolution images of solar observations with a Fried parameter r0 of approximately 10 cm, and enhances images at high frequency. When r0 is approximately 5 cm, the new method is even more effective. It reconstructs the edges of solar graining and sunspots, and is greatly enhanced at mid and high frequency compared with other methods. Comparisons confirm the effectiveness of this method, with respect to both nonlinear and linear constraints in solar image reconstruction. This provides a suitable solution for image reconstruction in ground-based solar observations under strong atmospheric turbulence.

摘要: The width of three-body single-pion decay process d∗ → NNπ0,± is calculated by using the d∗ wave function obtained from our chiral SU(3) constituent quark model calculation. The effect of the dynamical structure on the width of d∗ is taken into account in both the single ∆∆ channel and cou-pled ∆∆+CC two-channel approximations. Our numerical result shows that in the coupled-channel approximation, namely, the hidden-color configuration being considered, the obtained partial decay width of d∗ → NNπ is about several hundred KeV, while in the single ∆∆ channel it is just about 2 ∼ 3 MeV. We, therefore, conclude that the partial width in the single-pion decay process of d∗ is much smaller than the widths in its double-pion decay processes. Our prediction may provide a criterion for judging different interpretations of the d∗ structure, as different pictures for the d∗ may result quite different partial decay width.

摘要: The structure and decay properties of d∗ have been detailedly investigated in both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model that describe the energies of baryon ground states and the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering data satisfactorily. By performing a dynamical coupled-channels study of the system of ΔΔ and hidden-color channel (CC) with quantum numbers I(JP)=0(3+) in the framework of the resonating group method (RGM), we find that the d∗ has a mass of about 2.38−2.42 GeV and a root-mean-square radius (RMS) of about 0.76−0.88 fm. The channel wave function is extracted by a projection of the RGM wave function onto the physical basis, and the fraction of CC component in the d∗ is found to be about 66%−68%, which indicates that the d∗ is a hexaquark-dominated exotic state. Based on this scenario the partial decay widths of d∗→dπ0π0 and d∗→dπ+π− are further explicitly evaluated and the total width is then obtained by use of the branching ratios extracted from the measured cross sections of other possible decay channels. Both the mass and the decay width of d∗ calculated in this work are compatible with the data (M≈2380 MeV, Γ≈70 MeV) reported by WASA-at-COSY Collaboration.

摘要: The decay widths of the $\ds\to d \pi^0\pi^0$ and $\ds\to d \pi^+\pi^-$ processes are explicitly calculated in terms of our chiral quark model. By using the experimental ratios of cross sections between various decay channels, the partial widths of the $\ds\to pn \pi^0\pi^0$, $\ds\to pn \pi^+\pi^-$, $\ds\to pp \pi^0\pi^-$, and $\ds\to nn \pi^+\pi^0$ channels are also extracted. Further including the estimated partial width for the $\ds\to pn$ process, the total width of the $\ds$resonance is obtained. In the first step of the practical calculation, the effect of the dynamical structure on the width of$\ds$ is studied in the single ΔΔ channel approximation. It is found that the width is reduced by few tens of MeV, in comparison with the one obtained by considering the effect of the kinematics only. This presents the importance of such effect from the dynamical structure. However, the obtained width with the single ΔΔ channel wave function is still too large to explain the data. It implies that the $\ds$ resonance will not consist of the ΔΔ structure only, and instead there should be enough room for other structure such as the hidden-color (CC) component. Thus, in the second step, the width of $\ds$ is further evaluated by using a wave function obtained in the coupled ΔΔ and CC channel calculation in the framework of the Resonating Group Method (RGM). It is shown that the resultant total width for $\ds$ is about 69 MeV, which is compatible with the experimental observation of about 75 MeV and justifies our assertion that the $\ds$ resonance is a hexaquark-dominated exotic state.

摘要: The decay widths of four-body double-pion decays $\ds\to pn \pi^0\pi^0$, $\ds\to pn \pi^+\pi^-$, and iso-scalar parts of $\ds\to pp \pi^0\pi^-$ and $\ds\to nn \pi^+\pi^0$ are explicitly calculated with the help of the d∗ wave function obtained in a chiral SU(3) quark model calculation. The effect of the dynamical structure on $\ds$'s width is analyzed both in the single ΔΔ channel and coupled ΔΔ and CC channel approximations. It is found that in the coupled-channel approximation, the obtained partial decay widths of $\ds\to pn \pi^0\pi^0$, $\ds\to pn \pi^+\pi^-$, and those of d∗ to the iso-scalar parts of ppπ0π− and nnπ+π0 are about 7.4MeV, 16.4MeV, 3.5MeV and 3.5MeV, respectively As a consequence, the total width is about 64.5MeV. These widths are consistent with those estimated by using the corresponding cross section data in our previous investigation and also the observed data. But in the single ΔΔ channel approximation, the widths are still almost 2-times larger than the measured values. Apparently, the explicitly calculated width together with the evaluated mass of d∗ in the coupled ΔΔ and CC channel approximation can well explain the observed data, which again supports our assertion that the $\ds$resonance is a six-quark dominated exotic state.

摘要: Drylands refer to regions with an aridity index lower than 0.65, and billions of people depend on services provided by the critically important ecosystems in these areas. How ecosystem carbon exchange in global drylands (CED) occurs and how climate change affects CED are critical to the global carbon cycle. Here, we performed a comprehensive bibliometric study on the fields of annual publications, marked journals, marked institutions, marked countries, popular keywords, and their temporal evolution to understand the temporal trends of CED research over the past 30 a (1991–2020). We found that the annual scientific publications on CED research increased significantly at an average growth rate of 7.93%. Agricultural Water Management ranked first among all journals and had the most citations. The ten most productive institutions were centered on drylands in America, China, and Australia that had the largest number and most citations of publications on CED research. "Climate change" and climate-related (such as "drought", "precipitation", "temperature", and "rainfall") research were found to be the most popular study areas. Keywords were classified into five clusters, indicating the five main research focuses on CED studies: hydrological cycle, effects of climate change, carbon and water balance, productivity, and carbon-nitrogen-phosphorous coupling cycles. The temporal evolution of keywords further showed that the areas of focus on CED studies were transformed from classical pedology and agricultural research to applied ecology and then to global change ecological research over the past 30 a. In future CED studies, basic themes (such as "water", "yield", and "salinity") and motor themes (such as "climate change", "sustainability", and "remote sensing") will be the focus of research on CED. In particular, multiple integrated methods to understand climate change and ecosystem sustainability are potential new research trends and hotspots.

摘要:The Jiao Tong University Spectroscopic Telescope (JUST) is a 4.4-meter f/6.0 segmented-mirror telescope dedicated to spectroscopic observations. The JUST primary mirror is composed of 18 hexagonal segments, each with a diameter of 1.1 m. JUST provides two Nasmyth platforms for placing science instruments. One Nasmyth focus fits a field of view of 10 ′ and the other has an extended field of view of 1.2° with correction optics. A tertiary mirror is used to switch between the two Nasmyth foci. JUST will be installed at a site at Lenghu in Qinghai Province, China, and will conduct spectroscopic observations with three types of instruments to explore the dark universe, trace the dynamic universe, and search for exoplanets: (1) a multi-fiber (2000 fibers) medium-resolution spectrometer (R=4 000−5 000) to spectroscopically map galaxies and large-scale structure; (2) an integral field unit (IFU) array of 500 optical fibers and/or a long-slit spectrograph dedicated to fast follow-ups of transient sources for multi-messenger astronomy; (3) a high-resolution spectrometer (R~100 000) designed to identify Jupiter analogs and Earth-like planets, with the capability to characterize the atmospheres of hot exoplanets.
