The main input includes the time series of weekly solutions （or fortnightly for SLR 1983-1993） of observational data for satellite techniques and session-wise normal equations for VLBI. The set of estimated unknowns includes 3- dimensional Cartesian coordinates at the reference epoch 2005.0 of the stations distributed globally and their rates as well as the time series of consistent Earth Orientation Parameters （EOPs） at the same epochs as the input. Besides the final solution, namely SOL-2, generated by using all the inputs before 2015.0 obtained from short-term observation processing, another reference solution, namely SOL- 1, was also computed by using the input before 2009.0 based on the same combination of procedures for the purpose of comparison with ITRF2008 and DTRF2008 and for evaluating the effect of the latest six more years of data on the combined results. The estimated accuracy of the x-component and y-component of the SOL- 1 TRF-origin was better than 0.1 mm at epoch 2005.0 and better than 0.3 mm yr- 1 in time evolution, either compared with ITRF2008 or DTRF2008. However, the z-component of the translation parameters from SOL-1 to ITRF2008 and DTRF2008 were 3.4 mm and -1.0 ram, respectively. It seems that the z-component of the SOL-1 TRF-origin was much closer to the one in DTRF2008 than the one in ITRF2008. The translation parameters from SOL-2 to ITRF2014 were 2.2, -1.8 and 0.9 mm in the x-, y- and z-components respectively with rates smaller than 0.4 mmyr-1. Similarly, the scale factor transformed from SOL-1 to DTRF2008 was much smaller than that to ITRF2008. The scale parameter from SOL-2 to ITRF2014 was -0.31 ppb with a rate lower than 0.01 ppb yr-1. The external precision （WRMS） compared with IERS EOP 08 C04 of the combined EOP series was smaller than 0.06 mas for the polar motions, smaller than 0.01 ms for the UT1-UTC and smaller than 0.02 ms for the LODs. The precision of the EOPs in SOL-2 was slightly higher than that of SOL-1.展开更多

Our findings indicate that about three-fifths of the sample H II regions reside within the regime occupied by local star-forming galaxies(SFGs) along the dust attenuation correlation described by their corresponding color excess parameters E(B-V)IRX= 0.51 E(B-V)Hα/Hβ. Nearly 27% of the sample exhibits E(B-V)IRX> E(B-V)Hα/Hβ, while a small fraction(~13%) displays significantly lower E(B-V)IRXcompared to E(B-V)Hα/Hβ. These results suggest that the correlation between the two dust attenuation indicators no longer holds for spatially resolved H II regions. Furthermore, the ratio of E(B-V)IRXto E(B-V)Hα/Hβremains unaffected by various physical parameters of the H II regions, including star formation rate(SFR), SFR surface density, infrared luminosity(LIR),LIRsurface density, stellar mass, gas-phase metallicity, circularized radius, and the distance to the galactic center.We argue that the ratio is primarily influenced by the evolution of the surrounding interstellar medium of the starforming regions, transitioning from an early dense and thick phase to the late blown-away stage.展开更多

We applied our model to Cassiopeia A(Cas A), a well-studied SNR with plenty of observational data as a test. We use Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer 980 ks data of Cas A, and AtomDB v3.0.9, an atomic database for X-ray plasma spectral modeling, to fit 248 spectra. A two-temperature model is adopted to describe the physical conditions of shocked ejecta and iron-rich plasma. We measure the Fe Kα flux ratio and the centroid difference of the dust and gas contributions. We find strong 6.4 keV line emission components, which indicates that iron-rich dust can survive within Cas A's shocked ejecta. We also find that the Fe Kα complex demonstrates an apparent double-hump structure in some Fe–K rich regions, which may be caused by both dust and multi-ejecta structure in Cas A. The results of Fe Kα structures are consistent with our model for a dust cloud embedded in multi-phase ejecta and suggest the presence of both dust sputtering and drag effects in those regions. It is currently still limited by the low spatial and spectrum resolution for the current X-ray detectors, but should be more useful when the new generation, high-resolution X-ray telescopes come into service.展开更多

文摘Imaging observations of solar X-ray bursts can reveal details of the energy release process and particle acceleration in flares.Most hard X-ray imagers make use of the modulation-based Fourier transform imaging method,an indirect imaging technique that requires algorithms to reconstruct and optimize images.During the last decade,a variety of algorithms have been developed and improved.However,it is difficult to quantitatively evaluate the image quality of different solutions without a true,reference image of observation.How to choose the values of imaging parameters for these algorithms to get the best performance is also an open question.In this study,we present a detailed test of the characteristics of these algorithms,imaging dynamic range and a crucial parameter for the CLEAN method,clean beam width factor(CBWF).We first used SDO/AIA EUV images to compute DEM maps and calculate thermal X-ray maps.Then these realistic sources and several types of simulated sources are used as the ground truth in the imaging simulations for both RHESSI and ASO-S/HXI.The different solutions are evaluated quantitatively by a number of means.The overall results suggest that EM,PIXON,and CLEAN are exceptional methods for sidelobe elimination,producing images with clear source details.Although MEM_GE,MEM_NJIT,VIS_WV and VIS_CS possess fast imaging processes and generate good images,they too possess associated imperfections unique to each method.The two forward fit algorithms,VF and FF,perform differently,and VF appears to be more robust and useful.We also demonstrated the imaging capability of HXI and available HXI algorithms.Furthermore,the effect of CBWF on image quality was investigated,and the optimal settings for both RHESSI and HXI were proposed.

文摘The Standards of Fundamental Astronomy(SOFA)is a service provided by the International Astronomical Union that offers algorithms and software for astronomical calculations,which was released in two versions for FORTRAN77 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 released on 2023 October 11.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 from the Closeby Habitable Exoplanet Survey mission,but also for the frontier themes of black holes and dark matter related to astrometric calculations and other fields.The source codes are available via http://pypi.org/project/PyMsOfa/and https://github.com/CHES2023/PyMsOfa.

文摘Based on years of input from the four geodetic techniques （SLR, GPS, VLBI and DORIS）, the strategies of the combination were studied in SHAO to generate a new global terrestrial reference frame as the material realization of the ITRS defined in IERS Conventions. The main input includes the time series of weekly solutions （or fortnightly for SLR 1983-1993） of observational data for satellite techniques and session-wise normal equations for VLBI. The set of estimated unknowns includes 3- dimensional Cartesian coordinates at the reference epoch 2005.0 of the stations distributed globally and their rates as well as the time series of consistent Earth Orientation Parameters （EOPs） at the same epochs as the input. Besides the final solution, namely SOL-2, generated by using all the inputs before 2015.0 obtained from short-term observation processing, another reference solution, namely SOL- 1, was also computed by using the input before 2009.0 based on the same combination of procedures for the purpose of comparison with ITRF2008 and DTRF2008 and for evaluating the effect of the latest six more years of data on the combined results. The estimated accuracy of the x-component and y-component of the SOL- 1 TRF-origin was better than 0.1 mm at epoch 2005.0 and better than 0.3 mm yr- 1 in time evolution, either compared with ITRF2008 or DTRF2008. However, the z-component of the translation parameters from SOL-1 to ITRF2008 and DTRF2008 were 3.4 mm and -1.0 ram, respectively. It seems that the z-component of the SOL-1 TRF-origin was much closer to the one in DTRF2008 than the one in ITRF2008. The translation parameters from SOL-2 to ITRF2014 were 2.2, -1.8 and 0.9 mm in the x-, y- and z-components respectively with rates smaller than 0.4 mmyr-1. Similarly, the scale factor transformed from SOL-1 to DTRF2008 was much smaller than that to ITRF2008. The scale parameter from SOL-2 to ITRF2014 was -0.31 ppb with a rate lower than 0.01 ppb yr-1. The external precision （WRMS） compared with IERS EOP 08 C04 of the combined EOP series was smaller than 0.06 mas for the polar motions, smaller than 0.01 ms for the UT1-UTC and smaller than 0.02 ms for the LODs. The precision of the EOPs in SOL-2 was slightly higher than that of SOL-1.

文摘Research on the properties of neutron stars with dark energy is a particularly interesting yet unresolved problem in astrophysics.We analyze the influence of dark energy on the equation of state,the maximum mass,the surface gravitational redshift and the Keplerian frequency for the traditional neutron star and the hyperon star matter within the relativistic mean field theory,using the GM1 and TM1 parameter sets by considering the two flavor symmetries of SU(6)and SU(3)combined with the observations of PSR J1614-2230,PSR J0348+0432,PSR J0030+0451,RX J0720.4-3125,and 1E 1207.4-5209.It is found that the existence of dark energy leads to the softened equations of the state of the traditional neutron star and the hyperon star.The radius of a fixed-mass traditional neutron star(or hyperon star)with dark energy becomes smaller,which leads to increased compactness.The existence of dark energy can also enhance the surface gravitational redshift and the Keplerian frequency of traditional neutron stars and hyperon stars.The growth of the Keplerian frequency may cause the spin rate to speed up,which may provide a possible way to understand and explain the pulsar glitch phenomenon.Specifically,we infer that the mass and the surface gravitational redshift of PSR J1748-2446ad without dark energy for the GM1(TM1)parameter set are 1.141 M_(☉)(1.309 M_(☉))and 0.095(0.105),respectively.The corresponding values for the GM1(TM1)parameter set are 0.901 M_(☉)(1.072M_(☉))and 0.079(0.091)if PSR J1748-2446ad contains dark energy withα=0.05.PSR J1748-2446ad may be a low-mass pulsar with a lower surface gravitational redshift under our selected models.

文摘Decameter-hectometric(DH)Type Ⅱ bursts,arising from coronal mass ejection(CME)-driven shock waves,are crucial for understanding solar-terrestrial interactions and space weather forecasting.This study provides a comprehensive statistical analysis of CMEs associated with DH type Ⅱ solar radio bursts during Solar Cycle 24(2009–2019),utilizing data from the Wind/WAVES,Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory/SWAVES,and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/LASCO catalogs.Analyzing 180 events,we report key spectral and kinematic properties,including a mean CME speed of(1058±531)km s^(−1) and a mean width of(288.39±99.3),with 62%classified as halo CMEs.About 12%of the total CMEs are accelerated,58%of them are decelerated,and 30%of them are constant.Similarly,CMEs having a speed≤800 km s^(−1) are constant,and those with speed≥800 km s^(−1) are decelerated.DH type Ⅱ bursts displayed a mean starting frequency of(12,169.72±4939)kHz,ending frequency of(2152.69±3022.07)kHz,bandwidth of(10,017±5353)kHz,and an average duration of(345.62±453)minutes.A power-law relationship was established between the drift rate(df/dt)and burst duration(D),characterized by df/dt=2749.07·D^(−0.88),highlighting the inverse dependence of drift rate on burst longevity.This suggests a dynamic interplay between shock parameters and the ambient solar corona.The findings underscore the persistent and robust spectral coverage of CME-driven shocks,offering new insights into their evolution and impact on the heliospheric environment.

文摘Integrating available instrumental records with meteorite analysis could build a link between meteorite chemical groups and their original parent bodies.However,such comprehensive source region-tracing studies have not been conducted for any meteorite fall events in China.On 2022 December 15 at 09:48 UT,meteoroid Tanxi was recorded by numerous cameras in populous northern Zhejiang.This event offers an opportunity to conduct the first systematic origin-tracing study for a meteorite fall event in China.The Tanxi meteorite was classified as an H6chondrite.This meteoroid entered the atmosphere with a velocity of 13.49 km s^(-1)and a slope of 69.52°.It most likely underwent a two-stage fragmentation process,with early fragmentation under a dynamic pressure of0.08 MPa,and main fragmentation under a dynamic pressure of 7.83 MPa.Before colliding with the Earth,the meteoroid’s heliocentric orbit had a semimajor axis of 2.363±0.107 au,an eccentricity of 0.584±0.019 and an inclination of 2.078±0.074°.A backward Dshevolution result of 5000 yr shows Tanxi’s orbit is most similar to a small near-Earth asteroid 2016 WV2.The source region analysis of the Tanxi fall indicates that the H chondrites could originate from two distinct reservoirs:the 3:1J mean motion resonance complex(51.2±3.7%)and the v6secular resonance region(41.6±2.9%).

文摘We estimate halo spins for H I-rich galaxies in the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey using a semi-analytic approach,examining the relationship between halo spin and stellar surface density.Our findings reveal an inverse correlation in both low-and high-mass galaxy samples,with stellar surface density decreasing as halo spin increases.This trend highlights the pivotal role of halo spin in galaxy evolution and suggests a universal formation scenario:high-spin halos,accompanied by high-spin accreted gas,retain angular momentum,preventing gas from efficiently condensing in the galactic center and thus suppressing star formation.Consequently,weak feedback redistributes gas to the halo outskirts without significant expulsion.The shallower central gravitational potential in high-spin halos promotes outward stellar migration,leading to more extended stellar distributions and lower stellar surface densities.

文摘Wave-particle duality is one of the key features of quantum physics,characterized by the interference pattern.Meanwhile,Floquet spectroscopy is typically studied in the high-frequency region because the Floquet sidebands are very sharp,behaving like“particles”in frequency space,and no interference phenomena are observed.Here,we consider the larger quantum fluctuation region where the Floquet sidebands are broader,making interference between them possible.With the help of an optical lattice clock experimental platform and numerical simulations,such interference of Floquet modes in frequency space is clearly observed.Additionally,it exhibits many exotic phenomena,such as large Floquet sidebands between integer ones,sensitivity to the initial phase,and corresponding emergent symmetries.To analytically elucidate this,we propose the Floquet channel interference hypothesis,which surprisingly matches quantitatively well with both experimental and numerical results.Our research paves the way for developing a new type of interferometer that could be applicable to other Floquet systems.

文摘To address the installation challenges of a 2-m ring Gregorian telescope system,and similar optical systems with a small width-to-radius ratio,we propose a detection method combining local interferometry with a comparison model.This method enhances the precision of system calibration by establishing a dataset that delineates the relationship between secondary mirror misalignment and wavefront aberration,subsequently inferring the misalignment from interferometric detection results during the calibration process.For the 2-m ring telescope,we develop a detection model using five local sub-apertures,enabling a root-mean-square detection accuracy of 0:0225λ(λ=632:8 nm)for full-aperture wavefront aberration.The calibration results for the 2-m Ring Solar Telescope system indicate that the root-mean-square value of sub-aperture wavefront aberration reaches 0.104λ,and the root-mean-square value of spliced full-aperture measurement yields reaches 0.112λ.This method offers a novel approach for calibrating small width-toradius ratio telescope systems and can be applied to the calibration of other irregular-aperture optical systems.

文摘We present systematic identifications of supergiants in M31/M33 based on the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope(LAMOST)spectroscopic survey.Radial velocities of nearly 5000 photometrically selected M31/M33 supergiant candidates have been properly derived from the qualified spectra released in LAMOST DR10.By comparing their radial velocities with those predicted from the rotation curve of M31,as well as utilizing Gaia astrometric measurements to exclude foreground contaminations,199 supergiant members in M31,including 168“Rank1”and 31“Rank2,”have been successfully identified.This sample contains 62 blue supergiants(BSGs,all“Rank1”),134 yellow supergiants(YSGs,103“Rank1”and 31“Rank2”)and three red supergiants(RSGs,all“Rank1”).For M33,we identify 84 supergiant members(56“Rank1”and 28“Rank2”),which include 28 BSGs(all“Rank1”),53 YSGs(25“Rank1”and 28“Rank2”)and three RSGs(all“Rank1”).So far,this is one of the largest supergiant samples of M31/M33 with full optical wavelength coverage(3700<λ<9100Å).This sample is valuable for understanding star formation and stellar evolution under different environments.

文摘Asteroids and comets,which have long been of interest to astronomers,are important components of the solar system.They contain rich primitive information about the early solar system,which provide a unique pathway for studying the formation and evolution of the solar system,and even the origin of life on planet Earth.In this review,the formation,evolution processes and the internal characteristics of the asteroids and comets in the solar system are presented.The focus of this review is on the internal characteristics especially the dielectric properties of asteroids and comets by radar observations.On this basis,the possible internal structure of these celestial bodies is discussed.Combined with the existing theories,simulations and experiments,the possible internal structure of near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO_(3) is a monolith while structure of active asteroid 311P/PANSTARRS remains unknown.In 2025,China will launch Tianwen-2 asteroid-comet exploration mission to detect 2016 HO_(3) and 311P/PANSTARRS,which will carry a penetrating radar to observe the internal characteristics of these two objects.

文摘We investigate the relationships between infrared excess(IRX = LIR/LUV) and Balmer decrement(Hα/Hβ) as indicators of dust attenuation for 609 H II regions at scales of ~50–200 pc in NGC 628, utilizing data from AstroSat, the James Webb Space Telescope(JWST) and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. Our findings indicate that about three-fifths of the sample H II regions reside within the regime occupied by local star-forming galaxies(SFGs) along the dust attenuation correlation described by their corresponding color excess parameters E(B-V)IRX= 0.51 E(B-V)Hα/Hβ. Nearly 27% of the sample exhibits E(B-V)IRX> E(B-V)Hα/Hβ, while a small fraction(~13%) displays significantly lower E(B-V)IRXcompared to E(B-V)Hα/Hβ. These results suggest that the correlation between the two dust attenuation indicators no longer holds for spatially resolved H II regions. Furthermore, the ratio of E(B-V)IRXto E(B-V)Hα/Hβremains unaffected by various physical parameters of the H II regions, including star formation rate(SFR), SFR surface density, infrared luminosity(LIR),LIRsurface density, stellar mass, gas-phase metallicity, circularized radius, and the distance to the galactic center.We argue that the ratio is primarily influenced by the evolution of the surrounding interstellar medium of the starforming regions, transitioning from an early dense and thick phase to the late blown-away stage.

文摘We use the Fe Kα emission in X-rays from non-equilibrium ionizing plasmas as a probe to explore the dust in supernova remnants(SNRs). We applied our model to Cassiopeia A(Cas A), a well-studied SNR with plenty of observational data as a test. We use Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer 980 ks data of Cas A, and AtomDB v3.0.9, an atomic database for X-ray plasma spectral modeling, to fit 248 spectra. A two-temperature model is adopted to describe the physical conditions of shocked ejecta and iron-rich plasma. We measure the Fe Kα flux ratio and the centroid difference of the dust and gas contributions. We find strong 6.4 keV line emission components, which indicates that iron-rich dust can survive within Cas A's shocked ejecta. We also find that the Fe Kα complex demonstrates an apparent double-hump structure in some Fe–K rich regions, which may be caused by both dust and multi-ejecta structure in Cas A. The results of Fe Kα structures are consistent with our model for a dust cloud embedded in multi-phase ejecta and suggest the presence of both dust sputtering and drag effects in those regions. It is currently still limited by the low spatial and spectrum resolution for the current X-ray detectors, but should be more useful when the new generation, high-resolution X-ray telescopes come into service.

文摘Magnetars are slowly rotating,highly magnetized young neutron stars that can show transient radio phenomena for radio pulses and fast radio bursts.We conducted radio observations from two magnetars SGR J1935+2154 and 3XMM J185246.6+003317 and a high-magnetic field pulsar PSR J1846-0258 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST).We performed single pulse and periodicity searches and did not detect radio signals from them.From the piggyback data recorded by other FAST telescope beams when we observed the magnetar SGR 1935+2154,we serendipitously discovered a new radio pulsar,PSR J1935+2200.We carried out the follow-up observations and obtained the timing solution based on these new observations and the archive FAST data.PSR J1935+2200 is an isolated old pulsar,with a spin period of 0.91 s,a spin-period derivative of 9.19×10^(−15)s s^(−1),and a characteristic age of 1.57 Myr.It is a weak pulsar with a flux density of 9.8μJy at 1.25 GHz.Discovery of a new pulsar from the long FAST observations of 30 minutes implies that there may be more weak older pulsars in the Galactic disk to be discovered.

文摘Dome A,in Antarctica,offers an exceptional site for ground-based infrared astronomy,with its extremely low atmospheric infrared background noise and excellent seeing conditions.However,deploying near-infrared telescopes in the harsh environment of Antarctica faces the critical challenge of frost accumulation on optical mirrors.While indium tin oxide heating films effectively defrost visible-band Antarctic astronomical telescopes,their thermal radiation at infrared wavelengths introduces significant stray light,severely degrading the signal-to-noise ratio for infrared observations.To address this limitation,we have designed a mechanical snow-removal system capable of efficiently clearing frost from sealing window surfaces at temperatures as low as–80°C.Aperture photometry of target sources,Canopus and HD 2151,revealed that after six days without intervention,floating snow extinction reduced target brightness by up to 3 magnitudes.Following mechanical defrosting,the source flux recovered to stable levels,with measured magnitudes showing rapid initial improvement followed by stabilization.Data analysis indicates that a frost removal strategy operating every 48 h,with each operation consisting of 4–6 cycles,enables efficient removal of frost and snow without introducing additional thermal noise.Future work will focus on optimizing the adaptive control algorithm and exploring novel low-temperature defrosting materials to extend the periods during which Antarctic infrared telescopes can operate unattended.

文摘We present a detailed analysis of a double-lined spectroscopic binary system,Bo Gem,using data obtained from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope(LAMOST)and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS).By applying spectral disentangling techniques to the LAMOST Medium Resolution Spectra,we determine the orbital parameters,including the orbital period of P=4.0689 days,and semimajor axis of a=14.90±0.04 R_(⊙).The mass ratio between the two components is found to be q=0.198±0.006,with an inclination of i=82°.3±0°.13.The photometric data from TESS revealed periodic light variations due to the eclipsing nature of the system,allowing for the determination of the primary star’s radius as R_(1)=1.68±0.03 R_(⊙)and the secondary star’s radius as R_(2)=3.68±0.04 R_(⊙).The effective temperatures of the primary and secondary stars are measured to be T_(eff,1)=9705±50 K and T_(eff,2)=5830±22 K,respectively.By analyzing the disentangled spectra,we determined the stellar atmospheric parameters—including surface gravity and metallicity of both stars.These results not only confirm the double-lined spectroscopic binary status of Bo Gem,but also underscore its value as an important system for testing and refining stellar evolution models.

文摘We analyze the absorption features in the public 73 ks XMM-Newton spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy PG 0052+251.Our analysis reveals the presence of a warm absorber(WA)intrinsic to the source and the hot circumgalactic medium at zero redshift.The identified WA is inflowing toward the central black hole,with a velocity shift of■.The ionization parameter of the WA is■,showing strong O II and O III absorption lines,along with a significant absorption of the spectral continuum at?10?.The line of sight toward PG 0052+251 intersects the halo of M31 at an impact parameter of approximately 218 kpc.Several local(z~0)absorption lines,like O VII,O VIII,and Ne IX,were detected.The derived hydrogen column density of the local hot gas is 2.2–2.6σhigher than those estimated by several models of the Galactic hot halo,suggesting a likely contribution from the M31 halo.We also find two absorption features at24.305?and 21.410?,which are unlikely to be associated with the hot halos or the warm-hot intergalactic medium but imply the presence of an additional WA component with an outflow velocity of approximately-7000 km s^(-1).

文摘Multiband afterglow observations of gamma-ray bursts(GRBs)are important for studying the central engine.GRB 201223A is a GRB with prompt optical detection by GWAC.Here we report on the early optical afterglow of GRB 201223A detected by NEXT(only 2.8 minutes after the Swift/BAT trigger),which smoothly connects the prompt optical emission and the afterglow phase.Utilizing Amati diagrams and considering the detection of afterglow emission in the Swift u-band,we suggest a redshift range of 0.26–1.85.Based on our optical data and combined with early optical observation from GWAC and early X-ray data from Swift/XRT,a multiband fitting is performed using PyFRS,and we obtain the best afterglow parameters(assuming a redshift of z=1.0):=5.01+10/_(1.70)^(1.91)×^(54)erg,G=-426.58+_(138.18)/^(148.86),θj=-25.98+_(-10.54)^/(9.67)deg,=-n0=0.30+_(-0.26)^(+3.78)cm^(−3),=-p2.32+_(-0.01)/^(+0.01),εe=-3.31+_(-0.86)/^(+1.59)×10^(-5),εB=-3.47+_(-2.62)/^(+4.12)×10^(-1).The late-time X-ray shows a re-brightening,indicating late-time central engine activities.After comparing the leading two central engine models,i.e.,magnetar model and hyperaccreting black hole model,we find that the fallback accretion onto a newborn black hole provides a better explanation for the X-ray re-brightening with fallback accretion rate Mp≈2.76×10^(-9)M⊙s^(-1)and the total fallback accreted mass Mfb≈1.41×10^(−6)M⊙.

文摘As part of the LAMOST medium-resolution spectroscopic survey,the LAMOST-MRS-O is a non-time domain survey that aims to perform medium-resolution spectral observations for member stars in the open cluster areas.This survey plans to obtain the spectroscopic parameters such as radial velocity and metal abundances of member stars and provide data support for further study on the chemical and dynamical characteristics and evolution of open clusters in combination with Gaia data.We have completed the observations on ten open cluster fields and obtained 235184 medium-resolution spectra of 133792 stars.Based on the data analyzed of LAMOST DR11v1.1,for some clusters of particular concern,it is found that the sampling ratio of members stars with Gmag<15 mag can reach 70%,which indicates that the LAMOST-MRS-O has reached our initial design goal.
