摘要： The cascade of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is subject to ion-neutral collisional damping and neutral viscous damping in the partially ionized interstellar medium. By examining the damping effects in the warm and partially ionized local interstellar medium, we find that the interstellar turbulence is damped by neutral viscosity at $\sim 261$ au and cannot account for the turbulent magnetic fluctuations detected by Voyager 1 and 2. The MHD turbulence measured by Voyager in the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) should be locally injected in the regime where ions are decoupled from neutrals for its cascade to survive the damping effects. With the imposed ion-neutral decoupling condition, and the strong turbulence condition for the observed Kolmogorov magnetic energy spectrum, we find that the turbulence in the VLISM is sub-Alfv\'{e}nic, and its largest possible injection scale is $\sim 194$ au.

摘要： Prominence eruption is closely related to coronal mass ejections and is an important topic in solar physics. Spectroscopic observation is an effective way to explore the plasma properties, but the spectral observations of eruptive prominences are rare. In this paper we will introduce an eruptive polar crown prominence with spectral observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), and try to explain some phenomena that are rarely reported in previous works. The eruptive prominence experiences a slow-rise and fast-rise phase, while the line-of-sight motions of the prominence plasma could be divided into three periods: two hours before the fast-rise phase, opposite Doppler shifts are found at the two sides of the prominence axis;then, red shifts dominate the prominence gradually; in the fast-rise phase, the prominence gets to be blue-shifted. During the second period, a faint component appears in Mg II k window with a narrow line width and a large red shift. A faint region is also found in AIA 304-angstrom images along the prominence spine, and the faint region gets darker during the expansion of the spine. We propose that the opposite Doppler shifts in the first period are a feature of the polar crown prominence that we studied. The red shifts in the second period are possibly due to mass drainage during the elevation of the prominence spine, which could accelerate the eruption in return. The blue shifts in the third period are due to that the prominence erupts toward the observer. We suggest that the faint component appears due to the decreasing of the plasma density, and the latter results from the expansion of the prominence spine.

摘要： Solar wind turbulence is often perceived as weakly compressible and the density fluctuations remain poorly understood both theoretically and observationally. Compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulations provide useful insights into the nature of density fluctuations. We discuss a few important effects related to 3D simulations of turbulence and in-situ observations. The observed quantities such as the power spectrum and variance depend on the angle between the sampling trajectory and the mean magnetic field due to anisotropy of the turbulence. The anisotropy effect is stronger at smaller scales and lower plasma beta. Additionally, in-situ measurements tend to exhibit a broad range of variations, even though they could be drawn from the same population with the defined averages, so a careful averaging may be needed to reveal the scaling relations between density variations and other turbulence quantities such as turbulent Mach number from observations.

摘要： We investigate the structure of galaxies formed in a suite of high-resolution cosmological simulations. Consistent with observations of high-redshift galaxies, our simulated galaxies show irregular, prolate shapes, which are dominated by turbulent motions instead of rotation. Yet molecular gas and young stars are restricted to a relatively thin plane. We examine the accuracy of applying the Toomre linear stability analysis to predict the location and amount of gas available for star formation. We find that the Toomre criterion still works for these irregular galaxies, after correcting for multiple gas and stellar components: the $Q$ parameter in $\rm{H_2}$ rich regions is in the range $0.5-1$, remarkably close to unity. Due to the violent stellar feedback from supernovae and strong turbulent motions, young stars and molecular gas are not always spatially associated. Neither the $Q$ map nor the $\rm{H_2}$ surface density map coincide with recent star formation exactly. We argue that the Toomre criterion is a better indicator of future star formation than a single $\rm{H_2}$ surface density threshold because of the smaller dynamic range of $Q$. The depletion time of molecular gas is below 1~Gyr on kpc scale, but with large scatter. Centering the aperture on density peaks of gas/young stars systematically biases the depletion time to larger/smaller values and increases the scatter.

摘要： We study the existence and property of Fast magnetosonic modes in 3D compressible MHD turbulence by carrying out a number of simulations with compressible and incompressible driving conditions. We use two approaches to determine the presence of Fast modes: mode decomposition based on spatial variations only and spatio-temporal 4D-FFT analysis of all fluctuations. The latter method enables us to quantify fluctuations that satisfy the dispersion relation of Fast modes with finite frequency. Overall, we find that the fraction of Fast modes identified via spatio-temporal 4D FFT approach in total fluctuation power is either tiny with nearly incompressible driving or ~2% with highly compressible driving. We discuss the implications of our results for understanding the compressible fluctuations in space and astrophysics plasmas.

摘要： We investigate a kind of holographic dark energy model with the future event horizon the IR cutoff and the equation of state −1. In this model, the constraint on the equation of state automatically specifies an interaction between matter and dark energy. With this interaction included, an accelerating expansion is obtained as well as the transition from deceleration to acceleration. It is found that there exists a stable tracker solution for the numerical parameter d > 1, and d smaller than one will not lead to a physical solution. This model provides another possible phenomenological framework to alleviate the cosmological coincidence problem in the context of holographic dark energy. Some properties of the evolution which are relevant to cosmological parameters are also discussed.

摘要： With the development of a series of Galaxy sky surveys in recent years, the observations increased rapidly, which makes the research of machine learning methods for galaxy image recognition a hot topic. Available automatic galaxy image recognition researches are plagued by the large differences in similarity between categories, the imbalance of data between different classes, and the discrepancy between the discrete representation of Galaxy classes and the essentially gradual changes from one morphological class to the adjacent class (DDRGC). These limitations have motivated several astronomers and machine learning experts to design projects with improved galaxy image recognition capabilities. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel learning method, ``Hierarchical Imbalanced data learning with Weighted sampling and Label smoothing" (HIWL). The HIWL consists of three key techniques respectively dealing with the above-mentioned three problems: (1) Designed a hierarchical galaxy classification model based on an efficient backbone network; (2) Utilized a weighted sampling scheme to deal with the imbalance problem; (3) Adopted a label smoothing technique to alleviate the DDRGC problem. We applied this method to galaxy photometric images from the Galaxy Zoo-The Galaxy Challenge, exploring the recognition of completely round smooth, in between smooth, cigar-shaped, edge-on and spiral. The overall classification accuracy is 96.32\%, and some superiorities of the HIWL are shown based on recall, precision, and F1-Score in comparing with some related works. In addition, we also explored the visualization of the galaxy image features and model attention to understand the foundations of the proposed scheme.

摘要： The solar wind is a magnetized and turbulent plasma. Its turbulence is often dominated by Alfv\'enic fluctuations and often deemed as nearly incompressible far away from the Sun, as shown by in-situ measurements near 1AU. However, for solar wind closer to the Sun, the plasma $\beta$ decreases (often lower than unity) while the turbulent Mach number $M_t$ increases (can approach unity, e.g., transonic fluctuations). These conditions could produce significantly more compressible effects, characterized by enhanced density fluctuations, as seen by several space missions. In this paper, a series of 3D MHD simulations of turbulence are carried out to understand the properties of compressible turbulence, particularly the generation of density fluctuations. We find that, over a broad range of parameter space in plasma $\beta$, cross helicity and polytropic index, the turbulent density fluctuations scale linearly as a function of $M_t$, with the scaling coefficients showing weak dependence on parameters. Furthermore, through detailed spatio-temporal analysis, we show that the density fluctuations are dominated by low-frequency nonlinear structures, rather than compressible MHD eigen-waves. These results could be important for understanding how compressible turbulence contributes to solar wind heating near the Sun.

摘要： LIGO/Virgo has detected several binary black hole (BBH) merger events that may have originated in the accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These events require individual black hole masses that fall within the pair instability supernova mass gap, and therefore these black holes may have been grown from hierarchical mergers. AGN disks are a prime environment for hierarchical mergers, and thus a potential location for the progenitors of BBH gravitational wave events. Understanding how a BBH embedded in an AGN disk interacts with the surrounding environment is thus crucial for determining if this interaction can lead to its merger. However, there are few high fidelity simulations of this process, and almost all are two-dimensional. We present the results from 3D, high-resolution, local shearing-box simulations of an embedded BBH interacting with an AGN disk. In these first simulations of their kind, we focus on determining the mass accretion rate and the orbital evolution rate at different BBH separations. We find that circular, equal-mass BBHs with separations greater than 10% of their Hill radius contract while accreting at a super-Eddington rate. At smaller separations, however, our 3D simulations find that BBHs expand their orbits. This result suggests that it may be difficult for an AGN disk to push a BBH to merger, but we discuss several mechanisms, including MHD turbulence and radiative and mechanical feedback, that could alleviate this difficulty.

摘要： The stair phase coding patterns have been widely used to determine the fringe order for phase unwrapping of the wrapped phase in 3D shape measurement. Although the special coding sequence algorithm can achieve with a large number of codewords, it needs current codeword and its adjacent codewords to jointly determine the fringe order. If any codeword of the grouped adjacent codewords is incorrectly recognized, it will result in false fringe order.Therefore, it is challenging to significantly increase the number of codewords. When it is necessary to simultaneously measure more than two isolated objects with large size differences, if the fringe frequency is high, the number of fringes on the smaller objects is too few to determine the fringe orders. On the other hand, if the fringe frequency is low, the image can not contain all isolated objects at the same time. To solve this problem, we propose an absolute phase measurement method based on bidirectional coding patterns. The wrapped phase of the object is obtained by fou step phase shifting patterns, and the fringe orders is obtained by two bidirectional coded patterns. When coding the bidirectional patterns, we code two groups of stair phase with different frequency along horizontal direction, which respectively represent local fringe order information and partition information, then, we alternately repeated the two groups of stair phase along the vertical direction to obtain the bidirectional coding patterns in the whole pattern. Each local fringe order information and the corresponding partition information in small region jointly determine the fringe order of each position in the wrapped phase. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we did simulations and three experiments. Simulation and experimental results show that our method is effective for complex surfaces and isolated objects with different sizes.

摘要： Attitude is one of the crucial parameters for space objects and plays a vital role in collision prediction and debris removal. Analyzing light curves to determine attitude is the most commonly used method. In photometric observations, outliers may exist in the obtained light curves due to various reasons. Therefore, preprocessing is required to remove these outliers to obtain high quality light curves. Through statistical analysis, the reasons leading to outliers can be categorized into two main types: first, the brightness of the object significantly increases due to the passage of a star nearby, referred to as "stellar contamination," and second, the brightness markedly decreases due to cloudy cover, referred to as "cloudy contamination." The traditional approach of manually inspecting images for contamination is time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, we propose the utilization of machine learning methods as a substitute. Convolutional Neural Networks and SVMs are employed to identify cases of stellar contamination and cloudy contamination, achieving F1 scores of 1.00 and 0.98 on a test set, respectively. We also explore other machine learning methods such as ResNet-18 and Light Gradient Boosting Machine, then conduct comparative analyses of the results.

摘要： Machine learning has become a crucial technique for classifying the morphology of galaxies as a result of the meteoric development of galactic data. Unfortunately, traditional supervised learning has significant learning costs since it needs a lot of labeled data to be effective. FixMatch, a semi-supervised learning algorithm that serves as a good method, is now a key tool for using large amounts of unlabeled data. Nevertheless, the performance degrades significantly when dealing with large, imbalanced data sets since FixMatch relies on a fixed threshold to filter pseudo-labels. Therefore, this study proposes a dynamic threshold alignment algorithm based on the FixMatch model. First, the class with the highest amount has its reliable pseudo-label ratio determined, and the remaining classes' reliable pseudo-label ratios are approximated in accordance. Second, based on the predicted reliable pseudo-label ratio for each category, it dynamically calculates the threshold for choosing pseudo-labels. By employing this dynamic threshold, the accuracy bias of each category is decreased and the learning of classes with less samples is improved. Experimental results show that in galaxy morphology classification tasks, compared with supervised learning, the proposed algorithm significantly improves performance. When the amount of labeled data is 100, the accuracy and F1-score are improved by 12.8% and 12.6%, respectively. Compared with popular semi-supervised algorithms such as FixMatch and MixMatch, the proposed algorithm has better classification performance, greatly reducing the accuracy bias of each category. When the amount of labeled data is 1000, the accuracy of cigar-shaped smooth galaxies with the smallest sample is improved by 37.94% compared to FixMatch.

摘要： We study the close encounters between two single black holes (BHs) embedded in an AGN disk using a series of global 2D hydrodynamics simulations. We find that when the disk density is sufficiently high, bound BH binaries can be formed by the collision of their circum-single disks. Our analysis demonstrates that, after a BH pair passes the pericenter of their relative trajectory, a gas post-collision drag may slow down the BHs, possibly forcing the two BHs to stay tightly bound. A binary formed by a close encounter can have a compact semi-major axis, large eccentricity, and retrograde orbital angular momentum. We provide a fitting formula that can accurately predict whether a close encounter can form a binary based on the gas mass and the incoming energy of the encounter. This fitting formula can be easily implemented in other long-term simulations that study the dynamical evolution of BHs in AGN disks.

摘要： Binary black hole (BBH) mergers, particularly those with component masses in the pair-instability gap, may be produced by hierarchical mergers in the disks surrounding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). While the interaction of an embedded BBH with an AGN disk is typically assumed to facilitate a merger, recent high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations challenge this assumption. However, these simulations often have simplified treatments for the gas thermodynamics. In this work, we model the possible consequence of various feedback from an embedded BBH with a simple model that maintains an enhanced temperature profile around each binary component. We show that when the minidisks around each BH become hotter than the background by a factor of three, the BBH orbital evolution switches from expansion to contraction. By analyzing the gravitational torque profile, we find that this change in direction is driven by a weakening of the minidisk spirals and their positive torque on the binary. Our results highlight the important role of thermodynamics around BBHs and its effect on their orbital evolution, suggesting that AGN disks could be efficient factories for BBH mergers.

摘要： Magnetic reconnection drives explosive particle acceleration in a wide range of space and astrophysical applications. The energized particles often include multiple species (electrons, protons, heavy ions), but the underlying acceleration mechanism is poorly understood. In-situ observations of these minority heavy ions offer a more stringent test of acceleration mechanisms, but the multi-scale nature of reconnection hinders studies on heavy-ion acceleration. Here we employ hybrid simulations (fluid electron, kinetic ions) to capture 3D reconnection over an unprecedented range of scales. For the first time, our simulations demonstrate nonthermal acceleration of all available ion species into power-law spectra. The reconnection layers consist of fragmented kinking flux ropes as part of the reconnection-driven turbulence, which produces field-line chaos critical for accelerating all species. The upstream ion velocities influence the first Fermi reflection for injection. Then lower charge/mass species initiate Fermi acceleration at later times as they interact with growing flux ropes. The resulting spectra have similar power-law indices $(p\sim4.5)$, but different maximum energy/nucleon $\propto($charge/mass$)^\alpha$, with $\alpha\sim0.6$ for low plasma $\beta$, and with $p$ and $\alpha$ increasing as $\beta$ approaches unity. These findings are consistent with observations at heliospheric current sheets and the magnetotail, and provide strong evidence suggesting Fermi acceleration as the dominant ion-acceleration mechanism.

摘要： We report on high resolution observations of recurrent fan-like jets by the Goode Solar telescope (GST) in multi-wavelengths inside a sunspot group. The dynamics behaviour of the jets is derived from the Ha line profiles. Quantitative values for one well-identified event have been obtained showing a maximum projected velocity of 42 km s^-1 and a Doppler shift of the order of 20 km s^-1. The footpoints/roots of the jets have a lifted center on the Ha line profile compared to the quiet sun suggesting a long lasting heating at these locations. The magnetic field between the small sunspots in the group shows a very high resolution pattern with parasitic polarities along the inter-granular lanes accompanied by high velocity converging flows (4 km s^-1) in the photosphere. Magnetic cancellations between the opposite polarities are observed in the vicinity of the footpoints of the jets. Along the inter-granular lanes horizontal magnetic field around 1000 Gauss is generated impulsively. Overall, all the kinetic features at the different layers through photosphere and chromosphere favor a convection-driven reconnection scenario for the recurrent fan-like jets, and evidence a site of reconnection between the photosphere and chromosphere corresponding to the inter-granular lanes.

摘要： The quantum properties of quantum measurements are indispensable resources in quantum information processing and have drawn extensive research interest. The conventional approach to reveal the quantum properties relies on the reconstruction of the entire measurement operators by quantum detector tomography. However, many specific properties can be determined by a part of matrix entries of the measurement operators, which provides us the possibility to simplify the process of property characterization. Here, we propose a general framework to directly obtain individual matrix entries of the measurement operators by sequentially measuring two non-compatible observables. This method allows us to circumvent the complete tomography of the quantum measurement and extract the useful information for our purpose. We experimentally implement this scheme to monitor the coherent evolution of a general quantum measurement by determining the off-diagonal matrix entries. The investigation of the measurement precision indicates the good feasibility of our protocol to the arbitrary quantum measurements. Our results pave the way for revealing the quantum properties of quantum measurements by selectively determining the matrix entries of the measurement operators.

摘要： With growing interest in Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) of High-entropy alloys (HEAs) during most recent years, compositional elements design and process strategies innovation are primary methods to overcome undesirable microstructures and defects. Here we propose a new approach, a novel real-time laser shock modulation of melt pool (LSMMP) to obtain melt pool modifications for yielding HEAs with desired characteristics. LSMMP utilizes a pulsed laser shocking a liquid melt pool caused by a continuous wave laser, enabling non-destructive and real-time modulations for high-performance HEAs. The numerical simulation reveals the convection mechanism of the melt pool in the LSMMP process, and the intervention of the pulsed laser promotes melt pool flow type to convert the Marangoni effect into a multi-convective ring, which accelerates melt pool flow and inhibits columnar crystal growth. Experimental results show the evolution law of the microstructure in the LSMMP process. The microstructure of CrFeCoNi HEAs undergoes a Columnar-Equiaxed Transition (CET), and higher hardness is obtained. Laser shock is demonstrated to be an effective in-situ modulative tool for controlled additive manufacturing.
