Discovery of five irregular moons of Neptune

Each giant planet of the Solar System has two main types of moons. 'Regular' moons are typically larger satellites with prograde, nearly circular orbits in the equatorial plane of their host planets at distances of several to tens of planetary radii. The 'irregular' satellites (which are typically smaller) have larger orbits with significant eccentricities and inclinations. Despite these common features, Neptune's irregular satellite system, hitherto thought to consist of Triton and Nereid, has appeared unusual. Triton is as large as Pluto and is postulated to have been captured from heliocentric orbit; it traces a circular but retrograde orbit at 14 planetary radii from Neptune. Nereid, which exhibits one of the largest satellite eccentricities, is believed to have been scattered from a regular satellite orbit to its present orbit during Triton's capture. Here we report the discovery of five irregular moons of Neptune, two with prograde and three with retrograde orbits. These exceedingly faint (apparent red magnitude m(R) = 24.2-25.4) moons, with diameters of 30 to 50 km, were presumably captured by Neptune.

Origin of Saturn's rings and inner moons by mass removal from a lost Titan-sized satellite

The origin of Saturn's rings has not been adequately explained. The current rings are more than 90 to 95 per cent water ice, which implies that initially they were almost pure ice because they are continually polluted by rocky meteoroids. In contrast, a half-rock, half-ice mixture (similar to the composition of many of the satellites in the outer Solar System) would generally be expected. Previous ring origin theories invoke the collisional disruption of a small moon, or the tidal disruption of a comet during a close passage by Saturn. These models are improbable and/or struggle to account for basic properties of the rings, including their icy composition. Saturn has only one large satellite, Titan, whereas Jupiter has four large satellites; additional large satellites probably existed originally but were lost as they spiralled into Saturn. Here I report numerical simulations of the tidal removal of mass from a differentiated, Titan-sized satellite as it migrates inward towards Saturn. Planetary tidal forces preferentially strip material from the satellite's outer icy layers, while its rocky core remains intact and is lost to collision with the planet. The result is a pure ice ring much more massive than Saturn's current rings. As the ring evolves, its mass decreases and icy moons are spawned from its outer edge with estimated masses consistent with Saturn's ice-rich moons interior to and including Tethys.     

A giant impact origin for Pluto's small moons and satellite multiplicity in the Kuiper belt

The two newly discovered satellites of Pluto (P1 and P2) have masses that are small compared to both Pluto and Charon-that is, between 5 x 10(-4) and 1 x 10(-5) of Pluto's mass, and between 5 x 10(-3) and 1 x 10(-4) of Charon's mass. This discovery, combined with the constraints on the absence of more distant satellites of Pluto, reveal that Pluto and its moons comprise an unusual, highly compact, quadruple system. These facts naturally raise the question of how this puzzling satellite system came to be. Here we show that P1 and P2's proximity to Pluto and Charon, the fact that P1 and P2 are on near-circular orbits in the same plane as Pluto's large satellite Charon, along with their apparent locations in or near high-order mean-motion resonances, all probably result from their being constructed from collisional ejecta that originated from the Pluto-Charon formation event. We also argue that dust-ice rings of variable optical depths form sporadically in the Pluto system, and that rich satellite systems may be found--perhaps frequently--around other large Kuiper belt objects.

A deterministic construction of irregular LDPC codes

In order to solve high encoding complexities of irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, a deterministic construction of irregular LDPC codes with low encoding complexities was proposed. And the encoding algorithms were designed, whose complexities are linear equations of code length. The construction and encoding algorithms were derived from the effectively encoding characteristics of repeat-accumulate (RA) codes and masking technique. Firstly, the new construction modified parity-check matrices of RA codes to eliminate error floors of RA codes. Secondly, the new constructed parity-check matrices were based on Vandermonde matrices, this deterministic algebraic structure was easy for hardware implementation. Theoretic analysis and experimental results show that, at a bit-error rate of 10×10⁻⁴, the new codes with lower encoding complexities outperform Mackay’s random LDPC codes by 0.4–0.6 dB over an additive white Gauss noise (AWGN) channel.

对竖向非规则框架设计的思考

结合工程设计实践,分析单榀钢筋混凝土竖向非规则框架的受力机理：传力路线长,受力构件多;刚度变化：水平刚度沿着高度方向有突变,应力集中现象严重;变形特点：各柱的竖向变形差异较大,必须考虑对结构整体内力的计算影响;抗震设防要求：采用强柱弱梁设计,形成延性结构。通过与规则框架的比较,提出竖向非规则框架属于抗震不利的结构形式,实际问题的处理应从结构布置、内力与配筋计算、构造措施等方面加以综合考虑。
