    摘要: The hydroelastic behavior of very large floating structures (VLFSs) is investigated based on the proposed multi-modules beam theory (MBT). To carry out the analysis, the VLFS is first divided into multiple sub-modules that are connected through their gravity center by a spatial beam with specific stiffness. The external force exerted on the sub-modules includes the wave hydrodynamic force as well as the beam bending force due to the relative displacements of different sub-modules. The wave hydrodynamic force is computed based on three-dimensional incompressible velocity potential theory, and the boundary element method with the free surface Green function as the integral kernel is adopted to numerically find the solution. The beam bending force is expressed in the form of a stiffness matrix. The coupled motion equation is established according to the continuous conditions of the displacement and force. The motion response defined at the gravity center of the sub-modules is solved by the multi-body hydrodynamic control equations, then both the displacement and the structure bending moment of the VLFS are determined from the stiffness matrix equations. To account for the moving point mass effects, the proposed method is extended to the time domain based on impulse response function (IRF) theory. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparison with existing results. Detailed results through the displacement and bending moment of the VLFS are provided to show the influence of the number of the sub-modules, and the influence of the moving point mass.

    摘要: We observed the high-mass star-forming region G176.51+00.20 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) with the 19-beam tracking observational mode. This is a pilot work of searching for neutral stellar winds traced by atomic hydrogen (i.e., HI winds) using the high sensitivity HI line toward high-mass star-forming regions where bipolar molecular outflows have been detected with high sensitivity by Liu et al. HI wind was detected in this work only in Beam 1. We find here that, similar to low-mass star formation, no matter how large the inclination is, the HI wind is likely sufficiently strong to drive a molecular outflow. We also find that the abundance of HI in the HI wind is consistent with that of the HI narrow-line self-absorption (HINSA) in the same beam (i.e., Beam 1). This implies that there is probably an internal relationship between HI winds and HINSA. This result also reinforces the assertion that HI winds and detected molecular outflows are associated with each other.

  • HI Narrow-Line Self-Absorptions Toward the High-Mass Star-Forming Region G176.51+00.20

    摘要: Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) 19-beam tracking observational mode, high sensitivity and high-velocity resolution HI spectral lines have been observed toward the high-mass star-forming region G176.51+00.20. This is a pilot study of searching for HI narrow-line self-absorption (HINSA) toward high-mass star-forming regions where bipolar molecular outflows have been detected. This work is confined to the central seven beams of FAST. Two HINSA components are detected in all seven beams, which correspond to a strong CO emission region (SCER; with a velocity of $\sim$ $-$18 km s$^{-1}$) and a weak CO emission region (WCER; with a velocity of $\sim$ $-$3 km s$^{-1}$). The SCER detected in Beam 3 is probably more suitably classified as a WCER. In the SCER, the HINSA is probably associated with the molecular material traced by the CO. The fractional abundance of HINSA ranges from $\sim 1.1 \times 10^{-3}$ to $\sim 2.6 \times 10^{-2}$. Moreover, the abundance of HINSA in Beam 1 is lower than that in the surrounding beams (i.e., Beams 2 and 4--7). This possible ring could be caused by ionization of HI or relatively rapid conversion from HI to H$_2$ in the higher-density inner region. In the WCER (including Beam 3 in the SCER), the HINSA is probably not associated with CO clouds, but with CO-dark or CO-faint gas.

  • Timing and Spectral Analysis of the Black Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1803-298 with Insight-HXMT Data

    摘要: We present a comprehensive analysis of the 2021 outburst of MAXI J1803–298 utilizing observations of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) spanning from the low hard state to the high soft state. Within the Insight-HXMT data set, compared to the previous work, we identify a more prolonged presence of type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) with centroid frequencies ranging from ∼0.16 to 6.3 Hz, which present correlations with the hardness ratio and the photon index of the Comptonized component. For QPO frequencies less than ∼2 Hz, the QPO phase lags are hard (photons of 10–19 keV arrive later than those of 1–4 keV), while at higher frequencies, the lags become soft at and above ∼4 Hz. Furthermore, the spectra in all Insight-HXMT observations consist of a multi-color blackbody component and a Comptonized component, as commonly observed in classical black hole X-ray binaries. We analyze state transitions and the evolution of accretion geometry in this work. The fitted inner disk radius increases abnormally during the low hard state, hypothesized to result from the corona condensing onto the inner disk. Additionally, two significant drops in flux are observed during the soft intermediate state, maybe implying changes in the corona/jet and the disk, respectively.

    摘要: A time-synchronization strategy for packetized transmission of target position about a large-aperture telescope observation control system has been proposed in this study. Compared with the existing telescope tracking strategy, the target position packing and sending strategy based on the time synchronization method proposed in this paper has the advantages of high stability and reliability. First, the telescope tracking observation control method was elaborated in this paper, including the motion pattern during telescope tracking. Then, the strategy for packetizes transmission of target positions based on time-synchronization is established and lists the detailed steps. Finally, the performance of the tracking strategy is verified using the 2.5 m telescope for the simulated uniform speed star and the blind-tracking fixed star HIP 31216, respectively. The test results show that the accuracy root mean square of the tracking strategy proposed in this paper is less than 002 at 30 minutes, and the performance is much better than the design requirement of 03. The most important advantage of this tracking strategy is that the telescope can guarantee normal tracking for a certain period of time even if the hardware or software of the host computer is abnormal.
