摘要： In this work, we investigate configuration formation of two inner terrestrial planets near mean motion resonance (MMRs) induced by the perturbation of a distant gas-giant for the Kepler-68 system, by conducting thousands of numerical simulations. The results show that the formation of terrestrial planets is relevant to the speed of Type I migration, the mass of planets, and the existence of giant planet. The mass and eccentricity of the giant planet may play a crucial role in shaping the final configuration of the system. The inner planet pair can be trapped in 5:3 or 7:4 MMRs if the giant planet revolves the central star with an eccentric orbit, which is similar to the observed configuration of Kepler-68. Moreover, we find that the eccentricity of the middle planet can be excited to roughly 0.2 if the giant planet is more massive than 5 $M_J$,otherwise the terrestrial planets are inclined to remain near-circular orbits. Our study may provide a likely formation scenario for the planetary systems that harbor several terrestrial planets near MMRs inside and one gas-giant exterior to them.

摘要： In this work, we investigate the size, thermal inertia, surface roughness and geometric albedo of 10 Vesta family asteroids by using the Advanced Thermophysical Model (ATPM), based on the thermal infrared data acquired by mainly NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Here we show that the average thermal inertia and geometric albedo of the investigated Vesta family members are 42 $ rm J m^{-2} s^{-1/2} K^{-1}$ and 0.314, respectively, where the derived effective diameters are less than 10 km. Moreover, the family members have a relatively low roughness fraction on their surfaces. The similarity in thermal inertia and geometric albedo among the V-type Vesta family member may reveal their close connection in the origin and evolution. As the fragments of the cratering event of Vesta, the family members may have undergone similar evolution process, thereby leading to very close thermal properties. Finally, we estimate their regolith grain sizes with different volume filling factors.

摘要： The characterization of exoplanets and their birth protoplanetary disks has enormously advanced in the last decade. Benefitting from that, our global understanding of the planet formation processes has been substantially improved. In this review, we first summarize the cutting-edge states of the exoplanet and disk observations. We further present a comprehensive panoptic view of modern core accretion planet formation scenarios, including dust growth and radial drift, planetesimal formation by the streaming instability, core growth by planetesimal accretion and pebble accretion. We discuss the key concepts and physical processes in each growth stage and elaborate on the connections between theoretical studies and observational revelations. Finally, we point out the critical questions and future directions of planet formation studies.

摘要： The Standards of Fundamental Astronomy (SOFA) is a service provided by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) that offers algorithms and software for astronomical calculations, which was released in two versions by FORTRAN 77 and ANSI C, respectively. In this work, we implement the python package PyMsOfa for SOFA service by three ways: (1) a python wrapper package based on a foreign function library for Python (ctypes), (2) a python wrapper package with the foreign function interface for Python calling C code (cffi), and (3) a python package directly written in pure python codes from SOFA subroutines. The package PyMsOfa has fully implemented 247 functions of the original SOFA routines. In addition, PyMsOfa is also extensively examined, which is exactly consistent with those test examples given by the original SOFA. This python package can be suitable to not only the astrometric detection of habitable planets of the Closeby Habitable Exoplanet Survey (CHES) mission (Ji et al. 2022), but also for the frontiers themes of black holes and dark matter related to astrometric calculations and other fields. The source codes are available via https://github.com/CHES2023/PyMsOfa.

摘要：The Hot Universe Baryon Surveyor (HUBS) mission will carry a nested X-ray telescope capable of observing an energy range from 0.5 keV to 2 keV to study hot baryon evolution. In this paper, we report the latest progress in the design and construction of nested X-ray telescopes which were designed to use a three-stage conicapproximation type assembly to simplify the manufacturing process. The mirror substrate is made using the thermal glass slumping method, with mirrors characterized by a root-mean-square roughness of 0.3 nm, with expected high reflectivity and good thermal stability. We also discuss methods of telescope construction and conduct a deformation analysis of the manufactured mirror. The in situ measurement system program is developed to guide the telescope assembly process.

摘要：With the growing significance of space weather forecasting, multi-layer magnetic and helioseismic telescopes are emerging as a key area of research. However, owing to the diverse operational processes and sophisticated hardware configurations of these devices, there is an urgent need for efficient autonomous observation capabilities. An autonomous Master Control System (MCS) can ensure efficient performance, data consistency, and stability, and the prototype presented here adopts a microservices architecture, breaking down the hardware into multiple subsystems and converting their functions into individual services. A central decision-making system leads the operations, supported by three auxiliary systems and three device control systems. Through inter-subsystem service calls, it achieves rapid imaging and spectroscopic monitoring. To verify system stability and observation efficiency, the system was tested on the Solar Full-disk Multi-layer Magnetograph. Experimental results verify this system can operate automatically for 4 consecutive months, acquire photospheric vector magnetic and Doppler velocity fields within a 15-minute interval, and measure chromospheric longitudinal magnetic and Doppler velocity fields in under 180 s. This ensures consistent and stable solar monitoring and serves as a practical methodological benchmark for the development of similar devices.

摘要：The reconstruction of muon energies is crucial for the data analysis of neutrino experiments using large water Cherenkov detectors, but the resolution for muon energy reconstruction using traditional methods is poor. Here, we propose a revised approach to remove noisy optical modules along the track produced by the propagation of muons through water. The number of photons on the optical modules is first corrected by the attenuation properties of light in water. Then the difference in time between the observed optical modules and the expected ones is determined based on the geometry of the triggered optical modules. Finally, the standard of correction is measured by the ratio of photon number before and after correction. Optical modules selection conditions were optimized according to these parameters, with most noisy optical modules successfully removed, improving the resolution of muon energy reconstruction.

摘要：The Educational Adaptive-optics Solar Telescope (EAST) at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum has been running routine astronomical observations since 2021. It is a 65-cm-aperture Gregorian solar telescope for scientific education, outreach, and research. The telescope system is designed in an “open” format so that the solar tower architecture can be integrated with it, and visitors can watch the observations live from inside the tower. Equipped with adaptive optics, a high-resolution imaging system, and an integral field unit spectro-imaging system, this telescope can obtain high-resolution solar images in the TiO and Hα bands, and perform spectral image reconstruction using 400 optical fibers at selected wavelengths. It can be used not only in public education and scientific outreach but also in solar physics research.

摘要：The primary mirrors of current and future large telescopes always employ a segmented mirror configuration. The small but non-negligible gaps between neighboring segments cause additional diffraction, which restricts the performance of high-contrast coronagraph. To solve this problem, we propose a coronagraph system based on a single liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). This spatial light modulator is used for amplitude apodization, and its feasibility and potential performance are demonstrated using a laboratory setup using the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm to control the spatial light modulator, which is based on point spread function (PSF) sensing and evaluation and optimized for maximum contrast in the discovery working area as a merit function. The system delivers a contrast in the order of 10−6, and shows excellent potential to be used in current and future large aperture telescopes, both on the ground and in space.

摘要：Research on adaptive deformable mirror technology for voice coil actuators (VCAs) is an important trend in the development of large ground-based telescopes. A voice coil adaptive deformable mirror contains a large number of actuators, and there are problems with structural coupling and large temperature increases in their internal coils. Additionally, parameters of the traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) control cannot be adjusted in real-time to adapt to system changes. These problems can be addressed by introducing fuzzy control methods. A table lookup method is adopted to replace real-time calculations of the regular fuzzy controller during the control process, and a prototype platform has been established to verify the effectiveness and robustness of this process. Experimental tests compare the control performance of traditional and fuzzy proportional integral derivative (Fuzzy-PID) controllers, showing that, in system step response tests, the fuzzy control system reduces rise time by 20.25%, decreases overshoot by 78.24%, and shortens settling time by 67.59%. In disturbance rejection experiments, fuzzy control achieves a 46.09% reduction in the maximum deviation, indicating stronger robustness. The Fuzzy-PID controller, based on table lookup, outperforms the standard controller significantly, showing excellent potential for enhancing the dynamic performance and disturbance rejection capability of the voice coil motor actuator system.

摘要： The planetary obliquity plays a significant role in determining physical properties of planetary surfaces and climate. As direct detection is constrained due to the present observation accuracy, kinetic theories are helpful to predict the evolution of the planetary obliquity. Here the coupling effect between the eccentric Kozai-Lidov (EKL) effect and the equilibrium tide is extensively investigated, the planetary obliquity performs to follow two kinds of secular evolution paths, based on the conservation of total angular momentum. The equilibrium timescale of the planetary obliquity $t_{ mathrm{eq}}$ varies along with $r_{t}$, which is defined as the initial timescale ratio of the tidal dissipation and secular perturbation. We numerically derive the linear relationship between $t_{ mathrm{eq}}$ and $r_{t}$ with the maximum likelihood method. The spin-axis orientation of S-type terrestrials orbiting M-dwarfs reverses over $90^ circ$ when $r_{t} > 100$, then enter the quasi-equilibrium state between $40^ circ$ and $60^ circ$, while the maximum obliquity can reach $130^ circ$ when $r_{t} > 10^4 $. Numerical simulations show that the maximum obliquity increases with the semi-major axis ratio $a_1$/$a_2$, but is not so sensitive to the eccentricity $e_2$. The likelihood of obliquity flip for S-type terrestrials in general systems with $a_2 < 45$ AU is closely related to $m_1$. The observed potential oblique S-type planets HD 42936 b, GJ 86 Ab and $ tau$ Boot Ab are explored to have a great possibility to be head-down over the secular evolution of spin.

摘要： In this study, we present a catalog of molecular clumps extracted from 13CO (J = 1 − 0) emission data of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project. The data covers the inner Milky Way within the longitude range 10° ≤ l ≤ 20° and the latitude strip of . The workflow for the extraction of clumps, namely Facet-SS-3D-Clump, consists of two parts: the identification of clump candidates and their verification. First, Facet-SS-3D-Clump employs FacetClumps to identify clump candidates. Subsequently, high-confidence clumps are obtained by cross-matching with the clumps detected by other algorithms, such as dendrogram. Second, these high-confidence clumps are used as prior knowledge to train a semi-supervised deep clustering approach, SS-3D-Clump, which is applied to verify clump candidates detected by FacetClumps, providing confidence levels for the molecular clumps. Finally, the catalog comprising 18,757 molecular clumps was obtained using Facet-SS-3D-Clump, and the catalog is 90% complete above 37 K km s−1. We observe a significant deviation of the mean Galactic latitude for clumps within ∣b∣ ≤ 2° from the midplane, with . We found that 82.3% of the dust clumps correspond to 13CO clumps by matching with Herschel infrared dust clumps. In the future, Facet-SS-3D-Clump will be applied to detect 13CO clumps in the entire MWISP data.

摘要： Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is a well-known candidate for studying cosmic-ray acceleration, in which compact features of various scales have attracted much attention. Based on observations by the Very Large Array of Cas A at 6 cm and 21 cm, we measure the spectral index distribution of various scale components using the observation of the 1998 epoch. We decompose its total density image into nine scale components, and map the temperature spectral index distribution of each component, which ranges from −2.48 ± 0.01 to −2.91 ± 0.05. We find that the spectral indices increase from the small scale to large scale components. A damped post-shock magnetic field model with a strength larger than ∼200 μG and a damping length scale less than ∼10% of the remnant radius can account for the spectral index variation naturally.

摘要： Temporary capture efficiency is studied in the framework of the circular restricted three-body problem in two steps. First, a non-uniform distribution of test particles around the secondary’s orbit is obtained by fully accounting the secondary’s gravitational influence. Second, the capture efficiency is computed based on the non-uniform distribution. Several factors influencing the result are discussed. By studying the capture efficiency in the circular restricted three-body problem of different mass ratios, a power-law relation between the capture efficiency (p) and the mass ratio (μ) is established, which is given by p ≈ 0.27 × μ0.53, within the range of 3.0035 ×10−6 ≤ μ ≤ 3.0034 × 10−5. Taking the Sun–Earth system as an example, the influence from the orbit eccentricity of the secondary on the non-uniform distribution and the capture efficiency is studied. Our studies find that the secondary’s orbit eccentricity has a negative influence on the capture efficiency.

摘要： The distribution of the LSBGs is bimodal in the g − r color, indicating the two distinct populations of the blue (g − r 0.60) LSBGs. The blue LSBGs appear spiral, disk or irregular while the red LSBGs are spheroidal or elliptical and spatially clustered. This trend shows that the color has a strong correlation with galaxy morphology for LSBGs. In the spatial distribution, the blue LSBGs are more uniformly distributed while the red ones are highly clustered, indicating that red LSBGs preferentially populate a denser environment than the blue LSBGs. Besides, both populations have a consistent distribution of ellipticity (median ), half-light radius (median reff ∼ 4”) and Sérsic index (median n = 1), implying the dominance of the full sample by the round and disk galaxies. This sample has definitely extended the studies of LSBGs to a regime of lower surface brightness, fainter magnitude and broader other properties than the previously Sloan Digital Sky Survey-based samples.

摘要： Open clusters (OCs) are common in the Milky Way, but most of them remain undiscovered. There are numerous techniques, including some machine-learning algorithms, available for the exploration of OCs. However, each method has its limitations and therefore, different approaches to discovering OCs hold significant values. We develop a comprehensive approach method to automatically explore the data space and identify potential OC candidates with relatively reliable membership determination. This approach combines the techniques of Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, Gaussian mixture model, and a novel cluster member identification technique, color excess constraint. The new method exhibits efficiency in detecting OCs while ensuring precise determination of cluster memberships. Because the main feature of this technique is to add an extra constraint (EC) for the members of cluster candidates using the homogeneity of color excess, compared to typical blind search codes, it is called Blind Search-Extra Constraint (BSEC) method. It is successfully applied to the Gaia Data Release 3, and 83 new OCs are found, whose color–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) are fitted well to the isochrones. In addition, this study reports 621 new OC candidates with discernible main sequence or red giant branch. It is shown that BSEC technique can discard some false negatives of previous works, which takes about three percentage of known clusters. It shows that as an EC, the color excess (or two-color) constraint is useful for removing fake cluster member stars from the clusters that are identified from the positions and proper motions of stars, and getting more precise CMDs, when differential reddening of member stars of a cluster is not large (e.g., ΔE(GBP − GRP) < 0.5 mag). It makes the CMDs of 15% clusters clearer (in particular for the region near turnoff) and therefore is helpful for CMD and stellar population studies. Our result suggests that the color excess constraint is more appropriate for clusters with small differential reddening, such as globular clusters or older OCs, and clusters that the distances of member stars cannot be determined accurately.

摘要： Nowadays, astronomy has entered the era of Time-Domain Astronomy, and the study of the time-varying light curves of various types of objects is of great significance in revealing the physical properties and evolutionary history of celestial bodies. The Ground-based Wide Angle Cameras telescope, on which this paper is based, has observed more than 10 million light curves, and the detection of anomalies in the light curves can be used to rapidly detect transient rare phenomena such as microgravity lensing events from the massive data. However, the traditional statistically based anomaly detection methods cannot realize the fast processing of massive data. In this paper, we propose a Discrete Wavelet (DW)-Gate Recurrent Unit-Attention (GRU-Attention) light curve warning model. Wavelet transform has good effect on data noise reduction processing and feature extraction, which can provide richer and more stable input features for a neural network, and the neural network can provide more flexible and powerful output model for wavelet transform. Comparison experiments show an average improvement of 61% compared to the previous pure long-short-term memory unit (LSTM) model, and an average improvement of 53.5% compared to the previous GRU model. The efficiency and accuracy of anomaly detection in previous paper work are not good enough, the method proposed in this paper possesses higher efficiency and accuracy, which incorporates the Attention mechanism to find out the key parts of the light curve that determine the anomalies. These parts are assigned higher weights, and in the actual anomaly detection, the star is detected with 83.35% anomalies on average, and the DW-GRU-Attention model is compared with the DW-LSTM model, and the detection result f1 is improved by 5.75% on average, while having less training time, thus providing valuable information and guidance for astronomical observation and research.
