Astronomical photographic observations in China began in 1901, and over a century, a total of approximately 30,000 astronomical photographic plates were captured. These historical plates play an irreplaceable role in conducting long-term, time-domain astronomical research. To preserve and explore these valuable original astronomical observational data, Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has organized the transportation of plates, taken during nighttime observations from various stations across the country, to the Sheshan Plate Archive for centralized preservation. For the first time, plate information statistics were calculated. On this basis, the plates were cleaned and digitally scanned, and finally digitized images were acquired for 29,314 plates. In this study, using Gaia DR2 as the reference star catalog, astrometric processing was carried out successfully on 15,696 single-exposure plates, including object extraction, stellar identification,and plate model computation. As a result, for long focal length telescopes, such as the 40 cm double-tube refractor telescope, the 1.56 m reflector telescope at Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, and the 1m reflecting telescope at Yunnan Astronomical Observatory, the astrometric accuracy obtained for their plates is approximately 0."1–0."3. The distribution of astrometric accuracy for medium and short focal length telescopes ranges from 0."3 to 1."0. The relevant data of this batch of plates, including digitized images and a stellar catalog of the plates, are archived and released by the National Astronomical Data Center. Users can access and download plate data based on keywords such as station, telescope, observation year, and observed celestial coordinates.展开更多

The Cotton-Schwab CLEAN(CS-Clean) deconvolution approach is a widely used reconstruction algorithm in the field of radio synthesis imaging. However, parameter tuning for this algorithm has always been a difficult task. Here, its performance is improved by considering some internal characteristics of the data. From a mathematical point of view, a peak signal-to-noise-based(PSNRbased) method was introduced to optimize the step length of the steepest descent method in the recovery process. We also found that the loop gain curve in the new algorithm is a good indicator of parameter tuning.Tests show that the new algorithm can effectively solve the problem of oscillation for a large fixed loop gain and provides a more robust recovery.展开更多

It is shown that Yb2-xAlxMo3012 solid solutions crystallize in a single monoclinic phase for 1.7 〈 x 〈 2.0 and in a single orthorhombic phase for 0.0 〈 x 〈 0,4, and exhibit the characteristics of both monoclinic and orthorhombic structures outside these compositional ranges. The monoclinic to orthorhonlbic phase transition temperature of A12Mo3012 can be reduced by partial substitution of A13+ by Yb3+, and the Yb2-zAlxMo3012 (0.0 〈 x 〈 2.0) materials are hydrated at room temperature and contain two kinds of water species. One of these interacts strongly with and hinders the motions of the polyhedra, while the other does not. The partial substitution of A13+ for Yb3+ in Yb2Mo3012 decreases its hygroscopicity, and the linear thermal expansion coefficients after complete removal of water species are measured to be -9.1 x 10-6/K, -5.5 x 10-6/K, 5.74 x 10-6/K, and 9.5 x 10 6/K for Ybl.sAlo.2(MoO4)3, Yb1.6Alo.4(MoO4)3, Ybo.4All.6(Mo04)3, and Ybo.2Al1.8(MoO4)3, respectively.展开更多

The B(CO)4+ ions are characterized to be very weakly bound complexes involving a B(CO)3+ core ion, which is predicted to have a planar D3h structure with the central boron retaining the most favorable 8-electron configuration. The B2(C0)4+ cation is determined to have a planar D2h structure involving a B-B one and half bond. The analysis of the B-CO interactions with the EDA- NOCV method indicates that the OC→B cr donation is stronger than the B-+CO π back donation in both ions.展开更多

The vibrational spectra the basis of the Fourier transform (FT)- Raman, FT-infrared measurements, the density-functional theory computations and the normal mode analysis. The A-, B-, and C-bands resonance Raman spectra in cyclohex- ane, acetonitrile, and methanol solvents were, respectively, obtained at 273.9, 252.7, 245.9, 228.7, 223.1, and 208.8 nm excitation wavelengths to probe the corresponding structural dynamics of PhN3. The results indicated that the structural dynamics in the S2 (A'), S3(A'), and S6(A') states were significantly different. The crossing points of the potential energy surfaces, S2S1(1) and S2S1(2), were predicted to play a key role in the low-lying excited state decay dynamics, in accordance with Kasha's rule, and NT=N8 dissociation. Two decay channels initiated from the Franck-Condon region of the S2(A') state were predicted: the radiative S2,min→S0 radiative decay and the S2→S1 internal conversion through the crossing points S2S1 (1)/S2S1(2).展开更多

This review presents a spatially-resolved analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the GB chemical structures in a series of SrTiO3 bicrystals and a ceramic, using analytical electron microscopy of the pre-Cs-correction era. It has identified and separated a transient layer at the model Σ5 grain-boundaries(GBs) with characteristic chemical bonding, extending the continuum interfacial approach to redefine the GB chemical structure. This GB layer has evolved under segregation of iron dopant, starting from subtle changes in local bonds until a clear transition into a distinctive GB chemistry with substantially increased titanium concentration confined within the GB layer in 3-unit cells, heavily strained, and with less strontium. Similar segregated GB layer turns into a titania-based amorphous film in SrTiO3 ceramic, hence reaching a more stable chemical structure in equilibrium with the intergranular Ti2O3 glass also. Space charge was not found by acceptor doping in both the strained Σ5 and amorphous GBs in SrTiO3 owing to the native transient nature of the GB layer that facilitates the transitions induced by Fe segregation into novel chemical structures subject to local and global equilibria. These GB transitions may add a new dimension into the structure–property relationship of the electronic materials.展开更多

文摘Before charge-coupled device detectors became widely employed in observational astronomy,for more than a hundred years,the main detection method was photography on astronomical glass plates.Recently,in order to preserve these historical data and maintain their usability,the International Astronomical Union has appealed to all countries for global digitization of astronomical plates by developing or adopting advanced digitization technology.Specialized digitizers with high precision and high measuring speed represent key equipment for this task.The Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and the Nishimura Co.,Ltd in Japan cooperated between 2013 and 2016 to develop the first Chinese high-precision astronomical plate digitizer,which was then used for complete digitization of all nighttime-observation astronomical plates in China.Then,in 2019–2021,the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory independently developed new models of plate digitizers that enabled countries such as Uzbekistan and Italy to digitize their astronomical plates.Additionally,a new high-precision and multifunction digitizer was also used to digitize valuable microscope slides from the Shanghai Natural History Museum,providing a successful example of cross-domain application of high-precision digitization technology.

文摘We report the confirmation of a sub-Saturn-size exoplanet,TOI-1194 b,with a mass of about 0.456+0.055-0.051M_(J),and a very low mass companion star with a mass of about 96.5±1.5 MJ,TOI-1251 B.Exoplanet candidates provided by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS)are suitable for further follow-up observations by ground-based telescopes with small and medium apertures.The analysis is performed based on data from several telescopes worldwide,including telescopes in the Sino-German multiband photometric campaign,which aimed at confirming TESS Objects of Interest(TOIs)using ground-based small-aperture and medium-aperture telescopes,especially for long-period targets.TOI-1194 b is confirmed based on the consistent periodic transit depths from the multiband photometric data.We measure an orbital period of 2.310644±0.000001 days,the radius is 0.767+0.045-0.041RJ and the amplitude of the RV curve is 69.4_(-7.3)^(+7.9)m s^(-1).TOI-1251 B is confirmed based on the multiband photometric and high-resolution spectroscopic data,whose orbital period is 5.963054+0.000002-0.000001days,radius is 0.947+0.035-0.033 R_(J) and amplitude of the RV curve is 9849_(-40)^(+42)ms^(-1).

文摘We report on a pilot study on identifying metal-poor stars pre-enriched by Pair-Instability Supernovae(PISNe).Very massive,first generation(Population Ⅲ) stars(140 M⊙≤M≤260 M⊙)end their lives as PISNe,which have been predicted by theories,but no relics of PISNe have been observed yet.Among the distinct characteristics of the yields of PISNe,as predicted by theoretical calculations,are a strong odd-even effect,and a strong overabundance of Ca with respect to iron and the solar ratio.We use the latter characteristic to identify metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo that have been pre-enriched by PISNe,by comparing metallicites derived from strong, co-added Fe lines detected in low-resolution(i.e.,R=λ/△λ~2000)spectra of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS),with metallicities determined by the SDSS Stellar Parameters Pipeline(SSPP).The latter are based on the strength of the CaⅡ K line and assumptions on the Ca/Fe abundance ratio.Stars are selected as candidates if their metallicity derived from Fe lines is significantly lower than the SSPP metallicities.In a sample of 12 300 stars for which SDSS spectroscopy is available,we have identified 18 candidate stars.Higher resolution and signal-to-noise ratio spectra of these candidates are being obtained with the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory and the XSHOOTER spectrograph,to determine their abundance patterns,and to verify our selection method.We plan to apply our method to the database of several million stellar spectra to be acquired with the Guo Shou Jing Telescope (LAMOST)in the next five years.

文摘Radio interferometry significantly improves the resolution of observed images, and the final result also relies heavily on data recovery. The Cotton-Schwab CLEAN(CS-Clean) deconvolution approach is a widely used reconstruction algorithm in the field of radio synthesis imaging. However, parameter tuning for this algorithm has always been a difficult task. Here, its performance is improved by considering some internal characteristics of the data. From a mathematical point of view, a peak signal-to-noise-based(PSNRbased) method was introduced to optimize the step length of the steepest descent method in the recovery process. We also found that the loop gain curve in the new algorithm is a good indicator of parameter tuning.Tests show that the new algorithm can effectively solve the problem of oscillation for a large fixed loop gain and provides a more robust recovery.

文摘Materials with the formula Yb2-xAlxMo3O12 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8) were synthesized and their structures, phase transitions, and hygroscopicity investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. It is shown that Yb2-xAlxMo3012 solid solutions crystallize in a single monoclinic phase for 1.7 〈 x 〈 2.0 and in a single orthorhombic phase for 0.0 〈 x 〈 0,4, and exhibit the characteristics of both monoclinic and orthorhombic structures outside these compositional ranges. The monoclinic to orthorhonlbic phase transition temperature of A12Mo3012 can be reduced by partial substitution of A13+ by Yb3+, and the Yb2-zAlxMo3012 (0.0 〈 x 〈 2.0) materials are hydrated at room temperature and contain two kinds of water species. One of these interacts strongly with and hinders the motions of the polyhedra, while the other does not. The partial substitution of A13+ for Yb3+ in Yb2Mo3012 decreases its hygroscopicity, and the linear thermal expansion coefficients after complete removal of water species are measured to be -9.1 x 10-6/K, -5.5 x 10-6/K, 5.74 x 10-6/K, and 9.5 x 10 6/K for Ybl.sAlo.2(MoO4)3, Yb1.6Alo.4(MoO4)3, Ybo.4All.6(Mo04)3, and Ybo.2Al1.8(MoO4)3, respectively.

文摘The boron carbonyl cation complexes B(CO)3+, B(CO)4+ and B2(CO)4+ are studied by infrared photodissociation spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The B(CO)4+ ions are characterized to be very weakly bound complexes involving a B(CO)3+ core ion, which is predicted to have a planar D3h structure with the central boron retaining the most favorable 8-electron configuration. The B2(C0)4+ cation is determined to have a planar D2h structure involving a B-B one and half bond. The analysis of the B-CO interactions with the EDA- NOCV method indicates that the OC→B cr donation is stronger than the B-+CO π back donation in both ions.

文摘The excited state structural dynamics of phenyl absorbing S2(A'), S3(A'), and S6(A') states were troseopy and complete active space self-consistent and the UV absorption bands were assigned on azide (PhN3) after excitation to the light studied using the resonance Raman specfield calculations. The vibrational spectra the basis of the Fourier transform (FT)- Raman, FT-infrared measurements, the density-functional theory computations and the normal mode analysis. The A-, B-, and C-bands resonance Raman spectra in cyclohex- ane, acetonitrile, and methanol solvents were, respectively, obtained at 273.9, 252.7, 245.9, 228.7, 223.1, and 208.8 nm excitation wavelengths to probe the corresponding structural dynamics of PhN3. The results indicated that the structural dynamics in the S2 (A'), S3(A'), and S6(A') states were significantly different. The crossing points of the potential energy surfaces, S2S1(1) and S2S1(2), were predicted to play a key role in the low-lying excited state decay dynamics, in accordance with Kasha's rule, and NT=N8 dissociation. Two decay channels initiated from the Franck-Condon region of the S2(A') state were predicted: the radiative S2,min→S0 radiative decay and the S2→S1 internal conversion through the crossing points S2S1 (1)/S2S1(2).

文摘Grain-boundary(GB) structures are commonly imaged as discrete atomic columns, yet the chemical modifications are gradual and extend into the adjacent lattices, notably the space charge, hence the two-dimensional defects may also be treated as continuum changes to extended interfacial structure. This review presents a spatially-resolved analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the GB chemical structures in a series of SrTiO3 bicrystals and a ceramic, using analytical electron microscopy of the pre-Cs-correction era. It has identified and separated a transient layer at the model Σ5 grain-boundaries(GBs) with characteristic chemical bonding, extending the continuum interfacial approach to redefine the GB chemical structure. This GB layer has evolved under segregation of iron dopant, starting from subtle changes in local bonds until a clear transition into a distinctive GB chemistry with substantially increased titanium concentration confined within the GB layer in 3-unit cells, heavily strained, and with less strontium. Similar segregated GB layer turns into a titania-based amorphous film in SrTiO3 ceramic, hence reaching a more stable chemical structure in equilibrium with the intergranular Ti2O3 glass also. Space charge was not found by acceptor doping in both the strained Σ5 and amorphous GBs in SrTiO3 owing to the native transient nature of the GB layer that facilitates the transitions induced by Fe segregation into novel chemical structures subject to local and global equilibria. These GB transitions may add a new dimension into the structure–property relationship of the electronic materials.

文摘The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE)has detected hundreds of millions of sources over the entire sky.However,classifying them reliably is a great challenge due to degeneracies in WISE multicolor space and low detection levels in its two longest-wavelength bandpasses.In this paper,the deep learning classification network,IICnet(Infrared Image Classification network),is designed to classify sources from WISE images to achieve a more accurate classification goal.IICnet shows good ability on the feature extraction of the WISE sources.Experiments demonstrate that the classification results of IICnet are superior to some other methods;it has obtained 96.2%accuracy for galaxies,97.9%accuracy for quasars,and 96.4%accuracy for stars,and the Area Under Curve of the IICnet classifier can reach more than 99%.In addition,the superiority of IICnet in processing infrared images has been demonstrated in the comparisons with VGG16,GoogleNet,ResNet34,Mobile Net,EfficientNetV2,and RepVGG-fewer parameters and faster inference.The above proves that IICnet is an effective method to classify infrared sources.

文摘Aiming at the subband division of ultra-wide bandwidth low-frequency(UWL)signal(frequency coverage range:704–4032 MHz)of the Xinjiang 110 m QiTai radio Telescope(QTT),a scheme of ultra-wide bandwidth signal is designed.First,we analyze the effect of different window functions such as the Hanning window,Hamming window,and Kaiser window on the performance of finite impulse response(FIR)digital filters,and implement a critical sampling polyphase filter bank(CS-PFB)based on the Hamming window FIR digital filter.Second,we generate 3328 MHz simulation data of ultra-wideband pulsar baseband in the frequency range of 704–4032 MHz using the ultra-wide bandwidth pulsar baseband data generation algorithm based on the 400 MHz bandwidth pulsar baseband data obtained from Parkes CASPSR observations.Third,we obtain 26 subbands of 128 MHz based on CS-PFB and the simulation data,and the pulse profile of each subband by coherent dispersion,integration,and folding.Finally,the phase of each subband pulse profile is aligned by non-coherent dedispersion,and to generate a broadband pulse profile,which is basically the same as the pulse profile obtained from the original data using DSPSR.The experimental results show that the scheme for the QTT UWL receiving system is feasible,and the proposed channel algorithm in this paper is effective.
