Digital zenith telescope prototype of China

Classical optical astronomy measures the direction of the local plumb line on the stellar background, and is influenced by variations of the earth gravity field. Therefore, classical optical astrometry can be used to measure and study variations of plumb line. This endows classical optical astrometric technologies special signifi- cance for the interdisciplinary researches of astronomy and geoscience, and makes them irreplaceable by technologies like very long baseline interferometry, satellite laser ranging. However, classical astrometric instruments have a major drawback of low efficiency, such as the low auto- maticity, more operating observers, and even operative error which makes it very difficult to reduce the random observation error in some visual instruments. To overcome this drawback, we have successfully developed the digital zenith telescope prototype （DZT-1） with the aperture of 200 mm, using charge coupled device and other advanced technologies and new equipments. As proved by test observations, DZT-1 can observe thousands of stars over one night, which significantly reduces the random obser- vation error and increases the observation accuracy. In addition, DZT-1 has a high degree of automation, even allowing unattended observation by remote control. Besides, DZT-1 has a small-size and is easy to move, making it convenient for mobile measurement of thedeflection of the vertical. In summary, DZT can be widely used in the geoscience and astronomy fields.     

星球之间的引力之探

十七世纪中叶,英国著名科学家牛顿根据开普勒行星运动的三大定律推测出:星球之间存在着一种引力,即万有引力.在当时,牛顿的发现是科学史上的一项重大突破,而且在几个世纪以来,牛顿的万有引力对科学的发展,起到了很重大的作用.但是随着科     

空间参考架与地面参考架的比较

深入分析了地面FK5与空间Hipparcos自行系统之间的关系。研究发现,基于FK5的PPM和ACRS两自行系统均存在局域差、星等差和色差,且对这两个系统而言,各项误差都具有类似的表现。同时发现,FK5与Hipparcos自行系统之间的旋转关系无法用VLBI和LLR所测定的岁差常数改正来解释。SPM Catalog 2.0地面系统给出了直接相对于河外源的绝对自行观测。通过比较SPM Catalog 2.0与Hipparcos自行系统,发现两旋转分量ω_x和ω_z明显小于Hipparcos系统的惯性误差±0.25mas·a~(-1),而另一分量ω_x则几乎是这一误差量的两倍。     

“惠更斯”号探测器成功登陆土卫六

2005年1月器在土星最大的探测。欧洲航天中心已收到来自回的信号和首批14日，欧洲航天局制造的”惠更斯”号探测卫星——土卫六上着陆，并开始进行实地局官员北京时间15日凌晨宣布，地面控制“惠更斯”号探测器经由“卡西尼”号飞船传数据，表明“惠更斯”号已成功登陆土卫六，并创造了人类探测器登陆其它天体最远距离的新纪录。     

CM天体场中光线的偏转

研究了文[1]给出的天体的外部场中的中性粒子的运动效应和光线偏转效应,发现磁菏能减小天体质量引起的效应,而磁矩对这些效应的贡献则还依赖于磁菏和磁矩的耦合作用。
