摘要: The Yarkovsky effect plays an important role in the motions of small celestial bodies. Increasingly improving observations bring the need of high-accuracy modelling of the effect. Using a multiphysics software COMSOL, we model the diurnal Yarkovsky effect in three dimensions and compare the results with that derived from the widely adopted theoretical linear model. We find that the linear model presents a high accuracy for spherical asteroids in most cases. The ranges of parameters in which the relative error of the linear model is over 10\% are explored. For biaxial ellipsoidal asteroids (particularly oblate ones), the linear model systematically overestimates the transverse Yarkovsky force by \sim10\%. The diurnal effect on triaxial ellipsoids is periodic for which no linear model is available. Our numerical calculations show that the average effects on triaxial ellipsoids are stronger than that on biaxial ellipsoids. We also investigate the diurnal effect on asteroids of real shapes and find it be overestimated by the linear model averagely by 16\%, with a maximum up to 35\%. To estimate the strength of Yarkovsky effect directly from the shape, we introduce a quantity "effective area" for asteroids of any shapes, and find a significant linear relationship between the Yarkovsky migration rate and the effective area. This brings great convenience to the estimation in practice.

摘要: We propose a magnetic laser in a subwavelength system consisting of a high-refractive-index dielectric cavity and an active medium formed by magnetic quantum emitters. Stimulated emissions of magnetic quantum emitters induced by their coherent interactions with quantized magnetic fields of a cavity are theoretically considered. The condition to archive such a magnetic laser is obtained. Numerical results show that magnetic lasers are feasible in some realistic systems, for example, a silicon disk of high-quality whispering gallery modes with embedded emitters. Furthermore, the competitions between the electric interaction and magnetic one in terms of their Purcell factors are also considered in some magnetic laser achievable systems. In a wavelength-scale silicon block of a high-order magnetic mode, the ratio of magnetic Purcell factor to the electric one can reach more than ~103 large. Our results open up ways to enhanced magnetic light-matter interactions.

摘要: The interaction of magnetic dipole (MD) emitters and common photonic cavities is usually weak, which is partially due to the low magnetic near field enhancements of the cavities. Here, we show that whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of a subwavelength dielectric cavity can not only greatly boost the emission rate of a MD emitter but also bring efficient couplings between coherent MD emitters. In a WGM cavity, the maximal emission rate ({\gamma}max) of a single emitter occurs at an antinode of the field pattern. The emission of the MD emitter can also be greatly affected by another coherent one depending on the magnetic field response of the WGM. The maximal contribution can also reach {\gamma}max. Notably, the cooperative emission rate of the coherent MD emitters does not decay with distance in the considered range due to the high-quality feature of a WGM. In contrast to the emission, the absorption of an emitter is hardly affected by the coherent couplings between emitters mediated by a WGM. The difference between the performances of emission and absorption is highly related to the excitation behaviors of WGMs. Our results are important for enhanced magnetic light-matter interactions.

摘要: To detect radioactive substances with low activity levels, an anticoincidence detector and a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector are typically used simultaneously to suppress Compton scattering background, thereby resulting in an extremely low detection limit and improving the measurement accuracy. However, the complex and expensive hardware required does not facilitate the application or promotion of this method. Thus, a method is proposed in this study to discriminate the digital waveform of pulse signals output using an HPGe detector, whereby Compton scattering background is suppressed and a low minimum detectable activity (MDA) is achieved without using an expensive and complex anticoincidence detector and device. The electric-field-strength and energy-deposition distributions of the detector are simulated to determine the relationship between pulse shape and energy-deposition location, as well as the characteristics of energy-deposition distributions for full- and partial-energy deposition events. This relationship is used to develop a pulse-shape-discrimination algorithm based on an artificial neural network for pulse-feature identification. To accurately determine the relationship between the deposited energy of gamma rays in the detector and the deposition location, we extract four shape parameters from the pulse signals output by the detector. Machine learning is used to input the four shape parameters into the detector. Subsequently, the pulse signals are identified and classified to discriminate between partial- and full-energy deposition events. Some partial-energy deposition events are removed to suppress Compton scattering. The proposed method effectively decreases the MDA of an HPGe -energy dispersive spectrometer. Test results show that the Compton suppression factors for energy spectra obtained from measurements on 152Eu, 137Cs, and 60Co radioactive sources are 1.13 (344 keV), 1.11 (662 keV), and 1.08 (1332 keV), respectively, and that the corresponding MDAs are 1.4%, 5.3%, and 21.6% lower, respectively

摘要: To detect radioactive substances with a low activity level, an anti-coincidence detector and high-purity germanium detector (HPGe) are often used in combination to suppress the Compton scattering background, thereby obtaining an extremely low detection limit and improving the measurement accuracy. However, the complex and expensive hardware system required does not facilitate application and promotion of this method. Thus, a method is proposed to discriminate the digital waveform of pulse signals output by a HPGe detector, whereby the Compton scattering background is suppressed and a low minimum detectable activity (MDA) is obtained without using an expensive and complex anti-coincidence detector and device. The electric field strength distribution and the energy deposition distribution in the detector are simulated to determine the relationship between the pulse shape and location of energy deposition, as well as the characteristics of the energy deposition distribution for full- and partial-energy deposition events. This relationship is used to develop a pulse shape discrimination (PSD) algorithm based on employing an artificial neural network (ANN) for pulse feature identification. To accurately determine the relationship between the deposited energy of gamma (g)-rays in the detector and deposition location, we extract four shape parameters from the pulse signals output by the detector. Machine learning is used to input the four shape parameters to the detector. Then, the pulse signals are identified and classified to discriminate between partial- and full-energy deposition events, and some partial-energy deposition events are removed to suppress Compton scattering. The proposed method effectively lowers the MDA of a HPGe -energy dispersive spectrometer. Test results show that the Compton suppression factors for energy spectra obtained from measurements on 152Eu, 137Cs and 60Co radioactive sources are 1.13 (344 keV), 1.11 (662 keV) and 1.08 (1332 keV), respectively, and the corresponding MDAs are lowered by 1.4%, 5.3% and 21.6%.

摘要: We used the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) to search for the molecular emissions in the L-band between 1.0 and 1.5 GHz toward four comets, C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), C/2020 R4 (ATLAS), C/2021 A1 (Leonard), and 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during or after their perihelion passages. Thousands of molecular transition lines fall in this low-frequency range, many attributed to complex organic or prebiotic molecules. We conducted a blind search for the possible molecular lines in this frequency range in those comets and could not identify clear signals of molecular emissions in the data. Although several molecules have been detected at high frequencies of greater than 100 GHz in comets, our results confirm that it is challenging to detect molecular transitions in the L-band frequency ranges. The non-detection of L-band molecular lines in the cometary environment could rule out the possibility of unusually strong lines, which could be caused by the masers or non-LTE effects. Although the line strengths are predicted to be weak, for FAST, using the ultra-wide bandwidth receiver and improving the radio frequency interference environments would enhance the detectability of those molecular transitions at low frequencies in the future.

摘要: Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the process of the impact ejecta evolving into a tail has never been directly observed. NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, apart from having successfully changed the orbital period of Dimorphos, demonstrated the activation process of an asteroid from an impact under precisely known impact conditions. Here we report the observations of the DART impact ejecta with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from impact time T+15 minutes to T+18.5 days at spatial resolutions of ~2.1 km per pixel. Our observations reveal a complex evolution of ejecta, which is first dominated by the gravitational interaction between the Didymos binary system and the ejected dust and later by solar radiation pressure. The lowest-speed ejecta dispersed via a sustained tail that displayed a consistent morphology with previously observed asteroid tails thought to be produced by impact. The ejecta evolution following DART's controlled impact experiment thus provides a framework for understanding the fundamental mechanisms acting on asteroids disrupted by natural impact.

摘要: The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission performed a kinetic impact on asteroid Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, at 23:14 UTC on September 26, 2022 as a planetary defense test. DART was the first hypervelocity impact experiment on an asteroid at size and velocity scales relevant to planetary defense, intended to validate kinetic impact as a means of asteroid deflection. Here we report the first determination of the momentum transferred to an asteroid by kinetic impact. Based on the change in the binary orbit period, we find an instantaneous reduction in Dimorphos's along-track orbital velocity component of 2.70 +/- 0.10 mm/s, indicating enhanced momentum transfer due to recoil from ejecta streams produced by the impact. For a Dimorphos bulk density range of 1,500 to 3,300 kg/m^3, we find that the expected value of the momentum enhancement factor, \beta, ranges between 2.2 and 4.9, depending on the mass of Dimorphos. If Dimorphos and Didymos are assumed to have equal densities of 2,400 kg/m^3, \beta= 3.61 +0.19/-0.25 (1 \sigma). These \beta values indicate that significantly more momentum was transferred to Dimorphos from the escaping impact ejecta than was incident with DART. Therefore, the DART kinetic impact was highly effective in deflecting the asteroid Dimorphos.
