Charge coupled devices （CCD） photometry and long-term optical variability of gamma-ray-loud BL Lacertae object Mkn 421

Evidence for the long-term optical curve variability and colour behaviour of the BL Lac object Mkn 421 is presented. Our results show that the amplitude of the optical variations of Mkn 421 is only about △B=4.7 magnitude in the B-band for its photometric history from 1899 to 2002. The results of optical photometric monitoring of the Mkn 421 from April 2000 to Jan 2002 are provided. During our observation, Mkn 421 shows significant rapid variations and exhibits short time variability of 2.42 hours in the B band. A strong correlation between the B - V colour index and the magnitude in the B band is found. Our charge coupled device （CCD） photometry of Mkn 421 shows that the measured results are in good agreement with the predicted optical variability period of about 23 years.     

1993年7月12日日本北海道地震次声波

１９９３年７月１２日北京时间２１点２１分１９秒在北京中关村次声接收阵上及时地发现并完整地记录了日本北海道地震所产生的当地次声波（包括地震纵波、横波、表面波所辐射的声波）和震中次声波。其中当地次声波分别有：周期为１２ｓ，振幅为０．８Ｐａ，持续３．４ｍｉｎ；及周期为１２ｓ，振幅为０．４Ｐａ，持续１ｍｉｎ和周期为３０ｓ，振幅为１．３Ｐａ，持续１２ｍｉｎ；震中次声波周期为１３７ｓ，振幅为６．９Ｐａ，持续２８ｍｉｎ。它们叠加在周期为１２ｍｉｎ、幅度为１０Ｐａ的大气异常现象的波列上。
