The latter, as a mature and traditional detector, is used to cross-check the nature of the candidate events selected from radio observations. In this study, we developed a simulation software called G4GRANDProto300, based on the Geant4 software package, to optimize the spacing of the scintillator detector array and to investigate its effective area. The analysis was conducted at various zenith angles under different detector spacings, including 300 m, 500 m, 600 m, 700 m, and 900 m. Our results indicate that, for large zenith angles used to search for cosmic-ray in the GRAND project, the optimized effective area is with a detector spacing of 500 m. And the G4GRANDProto300 software that we developed could be used to further optimize the layout of the particle detector array in future work.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135589256","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}

Due to different equipment such as various astronomical telescopes, the existence of measurement errors and proper motions of the celestial bodies, the same celestial object will have different positions in different catalogs, making it difficult to integrate multi-band or full-band astronomical data. In this study, We propose an online cross-matching method based on pseudo-spherical indexing techniques and develop a service combining with high performance computing system (Taurus) to improve cross-matching efficiency, which is designed for the Data Center of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO-DC). Specifically, we use Q3C (Quad Tree Cube) to divide the spherical blocks of celestial object and map the 2-D space composed of Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec) to 1-D space and achieve correspondence between real celestial objects and spherical patches. Finally, we verify the performance of the service using GAIA 3 and PPMXL catalogs. Meanwhile, we send the matching results to VO tools-Topcat and Aladin respectively to get visual results. The experimental results show that the service effectively solves the speed bottleneck problem of cross-matching caused by frequent I/O, and significantly improves the retrieval and matching speed of massive astronomical data.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"18 S6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135875985","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}

The greater the rate of arrival of angular momentum in the accretor is, the greater this part. It is assumed that this part of the angular momentum can be removed by the disk further from the accretor.

In order to ensure the accurate alignment of the primary focus unit and the primary mirror, the hexapod platform (as a corrector) is investigated in this paper. First, a ground-based telescope with 2.5 m aperture and 3.5 deg field of view is described. The telescope is under construction, and it is expected to be finished in 2023. Secondly, the hexapod platform with flexure hinges utilized to adjust the primary focus unit is proposed, which is applied as a corrector. Then, the inverse kinematics of the platform is established and an open-loop control system is built based on it. Finally, the cryogenic performance test for the hexapod platform is performed. The experimental results show that the resolution and repeatability of the translation for the hexapod platform can be achieved at the micro-meter level. The resolution and repeatability of the rotation can be achieved at the arc-second level. Therefore, the cryogenic performance of the hexapod platform can meet the optical imaging requirements of the wide-field ground-based telescope. The kinematic analysis and cryogenic performance tests in the paper provide a technical reference for the precise alignment of the primary focus unit and the primary mirror, which can improve the imaging quality of the telescope.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135808529","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}

Currently, there are two types of solar magnetic field measurement instruments: filter-based magnetographs and Stokes polarimeters. The former gives high temporal resolution magnetograms and the latter provides more accurate measurements of magnetic fields. Calibrating the magnetograms obtained by filter-based magnetographs with those obtained by Stokes polarimeters is a good way to combine the advantages of the two types. Our previous studies have shown that, compared to the magnetograms obtained by the Spectro-Polarimeter (SP) on board Hinode, those magnetograms obtained by both the filter-based Solar Magnetic Field Telescope (SMFT) of the Huairou Solar Observing Station and by the filter-based Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) aboard SOHO have underestimated the flux densities in their magnetograms and systematic center-to-limb variations present in the magnetograms of both instruments. Here, using a sample of 75 vector magnetograms of stable alpha sunspots, we compare the vector magnetograms obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) aboard Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) with co-temporal vector magnetograms acquired by SP/Hinode. Our analysis shows that both the longitudinal and transverse flux densities in the HMI/SDO magnetograms are very close to those in the SP/Hinode magnetograms and the systematic center-to-limb variations in the HMI/SDO magnetograms are very minor. Our study suggests that using a filter-based magnetograph to construct a low spectral resolution Stokes profile, as done by HMI/SDO, can largely remove the disadvantages of the filter-type measurements and yet still possess the advantage of high temporal resolution.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135765709","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}

However, this will lead to large number density of ionizing photons in the epoch of reionization (EoR), so that the reionization history will be changed, which can arise tension with the current EoR observations. Warm dark matter (WDM), via the free streaming effect, can suppress the formation of small-scale structure as well as low-mass galaxies. This provides an effective way to decrease the ionizing photons when considering a large star formation efficiency in high-$z$ massive galaxies without altering the cosmic reionization history. On the other hand, the constraints on the properties of warm dark matter can be derived from the $it JWST$ observations. In this work, we study WDM as a possible solution to reconcile the $it JWST$ stellar mass density of high-$z$ massive galaxies and reionization history. {color{red}We find that, the $it JWST$ high-$z$ comoving cumulative stellar mass density alone has no significant preference for either CDM or WDM model. But using the observational data of other stellar mass density measurements and reionization history, we obtain that the WDM particle mass with $m_{text{W}} = 0.51^{+0.22}_{-0.12}$ eV and star formation efficiency parameter $f_{*}^0>0.39$ in 2$sigma$ confidence level can match both the $it JWST$ high-$z$ comoving cumulative stellar mass density and the reionization history.","PeriodicalId":54494,"journal":{"name":"Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135808240","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}

The wind disturbance is expected to be a challenge for LCT’s pointing control since existing control method cannot reject this disturbance very well. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a new pointing control method with good capability of disturbance rejection. In this research, a disturbance observer - based composite position controller (DOB-CPC) is designed, in which an H∞ feedback controller is employed to compress the disturbance, and a feedforward linear quadratic regulator is employed to compensate the disturbance precisely based on the estimated disturbance signal. Moreover, a controller switching policy (CSP) is adopted, which applies the proportional controller to the transient process to achieve a quick response and applies the DOB-CPC to the steady state to achieve a small position error.
