摘要Low-visibility phenomena strongly impact the environment,as well as transportation,aviation and other fields that are closely related to people's livelihoods;thus,they represent important ecological issues of social concern.Based on observation data concerning low-visibility phenomena derived from 105 national meteorological stations in Xinjiang,China over the past 20 years,we systematically analyzed the differences between manual and instrument observations for six types of low-visibility phenomena,with a focus on exploring their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics using instrument data.The results revealed that low-visibility phenomena were dominated by fog-and haze-related events(mist,fog,and haze)in northern Xinjiang and dust-related events(dust storms,blowing sand,and floating dust)in southern Xinjiang,with transitional characteristics observed in eastern Xinjiang.Compared with manual observations,the instrument measurements significantly improved the fine-scale low-visibility phenomenon identification process.On the basis of the instrument observation data,spatial-dimension analysis results indicated that low-visibility phenomena in Xinjiang were significantly influenced by terrain factors.Constrained by the Tianshan Mountains,haze-like phenomena formed a core agglomeration area in northern Xinjiang,whereas dust-and sand-related phenomena radiated outward,with the Taklimakan Desert at the center.Moreover,the gripping effect of the terrain promoted dust transmission along low-altitude channels.Temporally,fog-and haze-related phenomena occurred mainly during autumn and winter,and the proportion of these events decreased from 76.7%to 55.1%.The fog-and haze-related phenomena demonstrated a U-shaped rebound trend,while the proportion of mist phenomena decreased by 34.2%.Dust storms occurred during spring,accounting for 23.3%to 44.9%of all storms.Instrument measurement technology has the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolutions and multiparameter coordination but provides a limited dust-haze mixed-pollution identification capacity.This study provides crucial reference data for enhancing the understanding of low-visibility events in Xinjiang and the potential responses while improving the accuracy of pollution source tracking and meteorological process diagnosis tasks.

摘要The Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope(CSST)is a next-generation Stage-IV facility renowned for its wide field of view,high image quality,and multi-band observational capabilities.Among the five instruments onboard the CSST,the Integral Field Spectrograph(IFS)offers the unique ability to simultaneously capture spatial and spectral information across a field of view of no less than 6″×6″.Key advantages of the IFS include a high spatial resolution of 0.2 and a broad spectral coverage from 350 to 1000 nm,making it an ideal instrument for studying physical processes in the vicinity of supermassive black holes within galaxies.To more accurately assess the technical and scientific performance of the CSST-IFS,it is essential to develop a simulation tool that incorporates realistic effects from all optical components.Such a simulation will form an integral part of the CSST-IFS data and pipeline system,enabling the development of the data reduction pipeline well ahead of actual observations.This paper presents an endto-end simulation workflow for the CSST-IFS,incorporating a wide range of instrumental effects that may influence its spectral and imaging performance.The simulation accounts for optical diffraction effects introduced by all components,such as image slicers and slit array,as well as sub-pixel effects from gratings.It also includes various detector noises,frame-shifting effects,and charge-transfer inefficiency.Real observational conditions-such as target Doppler shift,cosmic rays,and other in-orbit operational effects-are also considered.We describe the technical implementation of the simulation and present results that quantitatively characterize key instrument parameters.

摘要The Multi-Channel Imager(MCI)is a powerful near-ultraviolet(NUV)and visible imager onboard the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope(CSST).The MCI provides three imaging channels,which are the NUV channel,the Blue channel and the Red channel,with the wavelength ranges of 255–430 nm,430–700 nm,and 700–1000 nm,respectively.MCI’s three channels can target the same field simultaneously,which is unique compared to other imagers onboard the Hubble Space Telescope(HST)or the James Webb Space Telescope(JWST).Each channel employs a CCD focal plane of 9216×9232 pixels and∼7.5×7.5 field of view(FOV),which are≳4 times the FOVs of HST imagers.The MCI’s three channels feature unprecedented sensitivities and FOVs,complementing the NUV and visible capabilities of the CSST for high-precision photometry and weaksignal detection,which would help build a new standard-star system and the deepest UV-Optical exposures for CSST.Rich filter sets of MCI would help explore other areas of science such as local emission line mapping,searching for high-z Lyαemitters,etc.Here we present key design features,results of current ground tests,and suggest observing strategies for the MCI.

摘要Stray light significantly influences the detection capabilities of astronomical telescopes.The actual stray-light level during observations depends not only on the telescope's inherent stray-light suppression capability but also on its operational orbit conditions.Accurate estimation of stray-light levels is crucial for assessing image quality and performing realistic scientific simulations.To rapidly estimate stray-light levels under realistic,complex operational conditions,we developed an analytical model tailored to the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope.Our model simulates stray-light backgrounds generated by off-field sources such as moonlight,starlight,and earthshine,incorporating the effects of zodiacal light,as well as scattering and ghost images induced by bright infield stars.The proposed method allows quick and accurate evaluation of stray-light conditions,facilitating both image simulation and observational scheduling.

摘要Tilt-to-length(TTL)coupling noise is a critical issue in space-based gravitational wave detection due to its complex dependence on multiple interacting factors,which complicates the identification of dominant parameters.To address this challenge,we develop a simulation model of the Taiji scientific interferometer,generating noise datasets under multiparameter conditions.Given the uniqueness of the telescope as well as the convergence behavior of the algorithm,the analysis is structured hierarchically:(i)the telescope level and(ii)the optical bench level.A hierarchical framework combining XGBoost and SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)values is employed to model the intricate relationships between parameters and TTL coupling noise,supplemented by sensitivity analysis.Our results identify pointing jitter and telescope radius as the dominant parameters at the telescope level,while the angles of the plane mirrors and beam splitters are most influential at the optical bench level.The parameter space is reduced from 86 dimensions to 14 dimensions without sacrificing model accuracy.This approach offers actionable insights for optimizing the Taiji interferometer design.

摘要Rotating Single-Baseline Interferometer(RSBI)systems have attracted considerable attention for Direct Position Determination(DPD)due to their simplicity and high localization accuracy.Nevertheless,the growing complexity of electromagnetic environments has led to scenarios with multiple time-frequency aliased sources,rendering conventional DPD methods for RSBI systems ineffective.Previous studies have predominantly concentrated on deploying antenna arrays and applying related signal-processing techniques for localization.Typically,these approaches necessitate that the number of physical antennas exceeds the number of sources.For RSBI systems already in practical operation,this would entail the installation of additional physical antennas,which implies equipment recycling and hardware upgrades.In numerous cases,such modifications are unfeasible.This paper proposes a novel Relative Offset-based Direct Position Determination(RO-DPD)method for RSBI systems that can handle multiple time-frequency aliased sources.The proposed method overcomes the challenge of simultaneous positioning without requiring hardware modifications by leveraging time accumulation and algorithmic enhancements.The implementation of the method involves three key steps.Firstly,the rotation of the interferometer is synthesized into a virtual Uniform Circular Array(UCA).Secondly,a novel estimation variable,termed relative offset,is introduced.The variable serves as an intermediate parameter to establish correlation equations between the positions of multiple time-frequency aliased sources and the intercepted signals.Thirdly,the relative offset model in the UCA is transformed into a virtual Uniform Linear Array(ULA)model,from which the cost function can be derived via the Spatial Smoothing(SS)MUSIC algorithm.Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.Compared with traditional approaches,the RO-DPD method maintains the low complexity of RSBI systems while demonstrating robust performance in complex electromagnetic environments.

摘要The Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope(CSST),slated to become China's largest space-based optical telescope in the coming decade,is designed to conduct wide-field sky surveys with high spatial resolution.Among its key observational modes,slitless spectral observation allows simultaneous imaging and spectral data acquisition over a wide field of view,offering significant advantages for astrophysical studies.Currently,the CSST is in the development phase and lacks real observational data.As a result,the development of its data processing pipeline and scientific pre-research must rely on the mock data generated through simulations.This work focuses on developing a simulation framework for the CSST slitless spectral imaging system,analyzing its spectral dispersing properties and structural design.Additionally,the detection performance of the slitless spectral system is assessed for various astrophysical targets.Simulation results demonstrate that nearly all 1st order spectra are accompanied by corresponding 0th order images,facilitating accurate source identification.Furthermore,the GI spectral band exhibits superior detection efficiency compared to the GV and GU bands,establishing it as the primary observational band for stellar and galactic studies.This work successfully develops a simulation framework for the CSST slitless spectroscopic equipment.

摘要The domestically developed prompt fission neutron uranium logging(PFNUL)instrument for uranium exploration represents a significant advancement in China’s deep uranium mining efforts,although it has considerable challenges and complexity.This paper presents the development of a new prompt fission neutron uranium logging instrument(named UNL4)that integrates a domestic D-T neutron generator,two 3He proportional detectors,a lanthanum bromide(LaBr3)gamma-ray detector,and a digital multi-channel pulse amplitude analyzer.The near 3He detector is shielded with 1 mm of cadmium(Cd)and 5 mm of high-density polyethylene(HDPE),enabling efficient epithermal neutron detection,whereas the far 3He detector measures thermal neutrons.A LaBr3 detector is employed for gamma-ray detection,primarily originating from uranium decay.Highspeed analog-to-digital converter(ADC)and field-programmable gate array(FPGA)technologies are used to achieve rapid acquisition and transmission of both dual-energy neutron time spectra and gamma spectra.Moreover,this paper proposes a fast signal-shaping method,which reduces the dead time effect in 3He detectors on neutron time spectra.Experiments conducted in standard model boreholes with varying uranium contents demonstrated a strong linear relationship between the epithermal-to-thermal neutron ratio(E/T)and uranium content,with a fitting coefficient of R2>0.999,confirming the accuracy of the instrument.The E/T value repeatability,in both short-term(3.16%RSD)and long-term(1.2%RSD)measurements,showed excellent stability.In addition,the instrument demonstrated good performance at neutron-logging speeds of 0.3∼3 m∕min(E/T values)and gamma logging speeds of 1∼10 m∕min.Through measurements in two ore sections of the PU model with uranium contents of 87.1 ppm and 45.6 ppm showed that RD remained below approximately 10%at logging speeds of 0–2 m/s in both cases,satisfying the requirements for engineering applications.This marks the first successful development of a neutron-logging instrument for uranium exploration based on a domestic neutron generator and signifies an important contribution to uranium resource exploration.

摘要Deep space exploration has an extremely high requirement for beam pointing accuracy of the large reflector antenna fed by a beam waveguide system.Beam pointing error compensation is of great importance when the reflector is deformed by inevitable external loads.This study introduces an innovative compensation method for such large beam waveguide reflector antennas utilizing an adjustable ellipsoidal mirror in the beam waveguide system.Initially,the effect of the ellipsoidal mirror's position deviation on the beam waveguide system's outgoing focus is analyzed.Subsequently,an equivalent single reflector system for the dual reflector system of the beam waveguide reflector antenna is considered,and the derivation of the focus position deviation for the single reflector caused by the position deviation of the beam waveguide system's outgoing focus is derived.Then,an electromechanical coupling model(EMCM)is formulated,incorporating both the reflector deformation and the ellipsoidal mirror's position error.Finally,with the assumption of adjustability of the ellipsoidal mirror,the study explores the beam pointing error compensation problem based on the EMCM in scenarios of reflector deformation.This paper presents a case study on a 35 m aperture beam waveguide reflector antenna.The results demonstrate that the proposed EMCM achieves high accuracy in calculating the main beam direction,thereby validating the effectiveness of the proposed beam pointing error compensation method for large antennas.

摘要The China-Argentina Radio Telescope(CART) has a diameter of 40 m, and eight working bands including L, S/X, C, Ku, K, Ka and Q. The S/X dual band cryogenic receivers and the dual beam Q band cryogenic receivers are among the first to be installed on CART starting from the testing phase. CART is a milestone joint-project between China and Argentina. It is located at the CESCO Observatory of the National University of San Juan of Argentina, and will be the largest single dish and Very Long Baseline Interferometry(VLBI) unit in Latin America. It is expected to have important synergies with LLAMA and the Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory, and will participate in and contribute to major international VLBI campaigns such as IVS, Square Killometre Array Very Long Baseline Interferometry and maybe also Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in the future.
