Kinematic properties of the dual AGN system J0038+4128 based on long-slit spectroscopy
The study of kiloparsec-scale dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) will provide
important clues to understand the co-evolution between the host galaxies and
their central supermassive black holes undergoing a merging process. We present
long-slit spectroscopy of the J00384128, a kiloparsec-scale dual AGN
candidate discovered by Huang et al. recently, using the Yunnan Faint Object
Spectrograph and Camera (YFOSC) mounted on Li-Jiang 2.4-m telescope at Yunnan
observatories. From the long-slit spectra, we find that the average relative
line-of-sight (LOS) velocity between the two nuclei (J00384128N and
J00384128S) is about 150 km s. The LOS velocities of the emission
lines from the gas ionized by the nuclei activities and of the absorption lines
from stars governed by the host galaxies for different regions of the
J00384128 exhibit the same trend. The same velocities trend indicates that
the gaseous disks are co-rotating with the stellar disks in this ongoing merge
system. We also find several knots/giant HII regions scattered around the two
nuclei with strong star formation revealed by the observed line ratios from the
spectra. Those regions are also detected clearly in HST -band and HST
-band images.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics

Adaptive Signal Decomposition Methods for Vibration Signals of Rotating Machinery
Vibrationābased condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are becoming more common in the industry to increase machine availability and reliability. Considerable research efforts have recently been directed towards the development of adaptive signal processing methods for fault diagnosis. Two adaptive signal decomposition methods, i.e. the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the local mean decomposition (LMD), are widely used. This chapter is intended to summarize the recent developments mostly based on the authorsā works. It aims to provide a valuable reference for readers on the processing and analysis of vibration signals collected from rotating machinery
Dimensions of Difficulties Mainland Chinese Students Encounter in the United States
This study was designed to investigate the difficulties Mainland Chinese students encountered in the process of adjusting to American culture. In-depth interviews were conducted in this study to collect information from 10 Mainland Chinese students. From the recurring themes of answers of each question three dimensions of difficulties Mainland Chinese students encountered in the United States were identified: language ability, cultural awareness, and academic achievements. Directions for future research and limitations of the study were discussed
