Reflector deformation, as well as pointing deviation and subreflector offset, can be calculated out by applying the derived equations. A measurement and correction system based on PAF holography is depicted, and two kinds of measurement methods are illustrated. The proposed measurement methodology is verified by numerical simulation, and its measurement error is analyzed.

The birth of the equatorial density enhancement (EDE) is shown to occur very close to the star where evidence for rotation has been obtained. Close to the star and where outflows have been observed: their interaction with the gas of the nascent EDE is seen to play an important role in the development of the wind and the evolution of its radial velocity from 8 to 10 km s<sup>−1</sup> on the polar symmetry axis to ∼2 km s<sup>−1</sup> at the equator. It implies complex morpho-kinematics: making reliable interpretations with reasonable confidence is difficult. In particular, it questions an earlier interpretation implying the presence of a white dwarf companion orbiting the star at an angular distance of ∼0.″4 from its center. It proposes instead an interpretation in terms of a standard mass ejection associated with a shock wave leaving a void of emission in its wake. High Doppler velocity wings are seen to consist of two components, the upper velocity end of the global wind, reaching above ±12 km s<sup>−1</sup>, and an effective line broadening, confined within 200 mas from the center of the star, reaching above ±20 km s<sup>−1</sup> and interpreted as caused by the pattern of shock waves resulting from the interaction between stellar pulsation and convective cell partition.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140314129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Properly calibrated empirical correlations between intensity and spectral correlations of GRBs can be used to estimate the cosmological parameters. However, the possibility of the evolution of GRBs with redshift is a long-standing puzzle. In this work, we used 162 long-duration GRBs to determine whether GRBs below and above a certain redshift have different properties. The GRBs are split into two groups, and we fit the Amati relation for each group separately. Our findings demonstrate that estimations of the Amati parameters for the two groups are substantially dissimilar. We perform simulations to investigate whether the selection effects could cause the difference. Our analysis shows that the differences may be either intrinsic or due to systematic errors in the data, and the selection effects are not their true origin. However, in-depth analysis with a new data set comprised of 119 long GRBs shows that intrinsic scatter may partly be responsible for such effects.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139507345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of now there exists no regular measurements of coronal magnetic fields, and therefore generating the coronal magnetic field evolution using the observations of the magnetic field at the photosphere is of fundamental requirement to understand the origin of the transient phenomena from the solar active regions. Using the magnetofriction (MF) approach, we aim to simulate the coronal field evolution in the solar active region 11429. The MF method is implemented in open source PC along with a driver module to drive the initial field with different boundary conditions prescribed from observed vector magnetic fields at the photosphere. In order to work with vector potential and the observations, we prescribe three types of bottom boundary drivers with varying free-magnetic energy. The MF simulation reproduces the magnetic structure which better matches to the sigmoidal morphology exhibited by AIA images at the pre-eruptive time. We found that the already sheared field further driven by the sheared magnetic field will maintain and further build the highly sheared coronal magnetic configuration such as seen in AR 11429. Data-driven MF simulation is a viable tool to generate the coronal magnetic field evolution capturing the formation of the twisted flux rope and its eruption.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138959881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, the time standard in various countries is mainly based on atomic clocks, but the frequency drift of atomic clocks will affect the long-term stability performance. Compared with atomic clocks, millisecond pulsars have better long-term stability and can complement with the excellent short-term stability of atomic clocks. In order to improve the long-term stability of the atomic time scale, and then improve the timing accuracy, this paper proposes an algorithm for steering the Atomic clock ensemble (ACE) by Ensemble pulsar time (EPT) based on Digital phase locked loop (DPLL). Firstly, the ACE and EPT are generated by ALGOS algorithm, then the ACE is steered by EPT based on DPLL to calibrate the long-term frequency drift of the atomic clock, so that the generated steered atomic time follows both the short-term stability characteristics of ACE and the long-term stability characteristics of EPT, and finally, the steered atomic time is used to calibrate the local cesium clock. The experimental results show that the long-term stability of atomic time after steering is improved by 2 orders of magnitude compared with that before steering, and the daily drift of local cesium clock after calibration is less than 9.47ns in 3 years, 3 orders of magnitude higher than that before calibration on accuracy.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"50 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
