A RELATION BETWEEN THE APPARENT VELOCITY AND THE SPECTRAL POWER OF SUPERLUMINAL RADIO SOURCES

It is proved that the apparent transverse velocities β_(app) and the spectral powers at 10GHz P_(10) of the cores of known superluminal sources are correlated. An interpretation ofthis result within the framework of the relativistic jet model shows that the jet Lorentzfactor γ depends on the intrinsic luminosity of the sources. The probable existence of twosubpopulations of the superluminal sources is shown by a linear regression analysis. "Small"sources f i.e. the sources without extended emission or with a distance from the core tothe outer edge of the lobe<20 kpc, show lower β_(app) than the "large" objects; this can beinterpreted as an orientation effect. Since all BL Lac objects belong to the "small" class,this result sheds new light on such a question as why these sources have lower apparent ve-locities than the "classical" superluminal quasars.     

Scale Enhancement Pyramid Network for Small Object Detection from UAV Images

Object detection is challenging in large-scale images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially when detecting small objects with significant scale variation. Most solutions employ the fusion of different scale features by building multi-scale feature pyramids to ensure that the detail and semantic information are abundant. Although feature fusion benefits object detection, it still requires the long-range dependencies information necessary for small objects with significant scale variation detection. We propose a simple yet effective scale enhancement pyramid network (SEPNet) to address these problems. A SEPNet consists of a context enhancement module (CEM) and feature alignment module (FAM). Technically, the CEM combines multi-scale atrous convolution and multi-branch grouped convolution to model global relationships. Additionally, it enhances object feature representation, preventing features with lost spatial information from flowing into the feature pyramid network (FPN). The FAM adaptively learns offsets of pixels to preserve feature consistency. The FAM aims to adjust the location of sampling points in the convolutional kernel, effectively alleviating information conflict caused by the fusion of adjacent features. Results indicate that the SEPNet achieves an AP score of 18.9% on VisDrone, which is 7.1% higher than the AP score of state-of-the-art detectors RetinaNet achieves an AP score of 81.5% on PASCAL VOC.

Toward a Raman/FORS discrimination between Art Nouveau and contemporary stained glasses from CdSxSe1 − x nanoparticles signatures

CdS_xSe_{1 − x} quantum dots received considerable attention in academic studies and as cut‐off filters and indirect‐gap semiconductors. These later compounds have also been used for artistic purposes to produce colored glass since the 1920s thanks to their bright colors. Because non‐invasive conditions are now mandatory when considering objects belonging to the cultural heritage, the use of Raman and fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy has been identified as potential ones to obtain information about the nanostructure of six samples of historical glass produced between the late 1920s and modern days. The average elemental composition of the nanocrystals has been deduced processing both optical and vibrational data, and the result arising has been compared taking into account the several factors affecting the experimental results. The diffusion of zinc inside the nanocrystals has also been questioned by the shift caused on the CdS‐ and CdSe‐like phonon band wavenumber and on the absorption edge wavelength. An investigation of the size distribution and crystallinity of CdS_xSe_{1 − x} nanoparticles has been also performed considering those parameters that are mainly influenced by the disorder of the system, such as the extent of the Urbach tail and the Raman bandwidth. Thanks to the results obtained, discrimination between the more recent glass and the older Art Nouveau ones has been verified, leading to the identification of a useful analytical protocol for conservation purposes.

A study on spatially extended phase objects using speckle photography

We present an application of an improved speckle photography technique for spatially extended phase objects. A contour mapping of a thin lens displaying its phase variation is presented. A theoretical analysis is investigated followed by the experimental presentation. Reasonable interference fringes are obtained and compared with the fringes obtained for hot air. The phase information of the object is extracted using the point-by-point technique.     

Derived equivalences between triangular matrix algebras

In this paper, we study derived equivalences between triangular matrix algebras using certain classical recollements. We show that special properties of these recollements actually characterize triangular matrix algebras and describe methods to construct tilting modules and tilting complexes inducing derived equivalences between them.     

Properties of gravitationally bound dark compact ultra dense objects

We consider compact astrophysical objects formed from dark matter fermions of mass 250 GeV to 100 TeV or from massless fermions hidden by vacuum structure of similar energy scale. These objects have maximum stable masses of sub-planetary scale and radii of micron to centimeter scale. We describe the surface gravity and tidal forces near these compact ultra dense objects, as pertinent to signatures of their collisions with visible matter objects.     

Planar and Nonplanar Shock Waves in a Degenerate Quantum Plasma

The nonlinear propagation of modified electron‐acoustic (mEA) shock waves in an unmagnetized, collisionless, relativistic, degenerate quantum plasma (containing non‐relativistic degenerate inertial cold electrons, both nonrelativistic and ultra‐relativistic degenerate hot electron and inertial positron fluids, and positively charged static ions) has been investigated theoretically. The well‐known Burgers type equation has been derived for both planar and nonplanar geometry by employing the reductive perturbation method. The shock wave solution has also been obtained and numerically analyzed. It has been observed that the mEA shock waves are significantly modified due to the effects of degenerate pressure and other plasma parameters arised in this investigation. The properties of planar Burgers shocks are quite different from those of nonplanar Burgers shocks. The basic features and the underlying physics of shock waves, which are relevant to some astrophysical compact objects (viz. non‐rotating white dwarfs, neutron stars, etc.), are briefly discussed.

在SDSS DR8恒星光谱中自动搜寻稀有天体

SDSS DR8海量光谱中包含许多有研究价值的稀有天体,如特殊白矮星(DZ,DQ,DC)、碳星、白矮主序双星、激变变星等,如何在海量光谱中自动搜寻稀有天体有着极其重要的意义。提出一种基于核密度估计和K-近邻(K-nearest neighbor, KNN)相结合的方法在SDSS DR8 信噪比大于5的546 383个恒星光谱中搜寻稀有天体。首先对光谱进行高斯核密度估计,选取概率最小的5 000个光谱作为稀有类,概率最大的300 000个光谱作为普通类,然后进行KNN分类,同时也将5 000个稀有光谱的K个最近邻也作为稀有的天体,结果共有21 193条光谱。为了方便分析,对这些光谱聚类后进行人工检查。这些光谱主要包括由于数据缺失、红化、流量定标不准引起的问题光谱、行星状星云、没有物理联系的光谱双星、类星体、特殊白矮星(DZ,DQ,DC)、碳星、白矮主序双星、激变变星等。通过和SIMBAD,NED,ADS及一些主要的文献交叉验证,我们新发现了3个DZ白矮星、1个白矮主序双星、2个伴星为G型星的激变变星,3个激变变星的候选体、6个DC白矮星,1个DC白矮星候选体和1个 BL Lacertae(BL lac)候选体。还发现了1个有CaⅡ三重发射线和MgⅠ发射线的DA白矮星和1个光谱上表现出发射线的晚M恒星但测光图上像是一个星云或星系。
