Description

Moon-based pulsar time reference generation system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of astronomical measurement and navigation, in particular to a lunar-based pulsar time reference generation system.
Background
The time reference system is an important technical support of the country and can be widely applied to military and civil fields such as space exploration, deep space navigation and accurate time service. With the development of natural science disciplines such as astronomy, physics and the like, higher and higher requirements are put forward on the stability of a time reference system and the anti-interference performance of the system. The existing time reference system is constructed by taking a high-precision atomic clock as a core, and the system has the problems of poor long-term stability, easy interference and high maintenance cost, so that research on a novel time reference technology is urgently needed.
Pulsar (Pulsar), also known as a blinking moment, is one of the neutron stars, a star body that periodically emits a pulse signal, and has a diameter of about 10 km or so, and its rotation is extremely fast. The pulsar is found for the first time by Jocelyn Bell, a doctor of Cambridge university in 7 months of 1967, so that the view of the human on the universe is changed, and a new time concept, namely the pulsar, is brought to the human.
The millisecond pulsar is relatively old in age, with a typical age of 109In the year, the radiation flow is weak, but the inherent internal disturbance is very small, the rotation is very stable, the pulse profile is very steep and regular, and the basic characteristics are as follows:
1. the autorotation period of the millisecond pulsar has good stability;
2. the millisecond pulsar can continuously and naturally radiate signals for a long time, and stable pulse signals can be obtained by processing observation data at any time and place of a solar system;
3. the impulse TOA and the impulse time of the millisecond pulsar can be expressed by an accurate mathematical model, and have mathematical description characteristics of general disciplines;
4. the auxiliary device can be used to provide counting and display characteristics for the millisecond pulsar time.
It can be seen that the millisecond pulsar completely meets the basic conditions for establishing a time system, and is an ideal time measurement and frequency standard source. The research thereof has been carried out in related scientific research institutions. Since 1984, pulsar timing systems were established in successive countries of the united states, the united kingdom, australia, india, etc., and in particular, the pulsar research group at the university of princeton of the united states, observed two millisecond pulsars PSR B1937+21 and PSR B1855+09 for more than 10 years using the radio telescope of the arecobo astronomical stage, accumulated a great deal of observation data. In 2018, the ESA has started running a pulsar-based clock system, "PulChron" system at the technical center of the netherlands, which uses a plurality of pulsar radio timing arrays in europe to perform high-precision observation on space millisecond pulsar for high-precision correction of clock error of atomic clocks and finding potential evidence of existence of gravitational waves. Although China starts late, the establishment of the first large single-Aperture radio Telescope FAST (Five-rounded-meter Aperture radio Telescope) in the world provides a very effective platform for China to overtake the above countries in the field of pulsar timing.
The implementation mode of the existing pulsar time system at home and abroad at present is considered and mainly divided into two main types, wherein the first type is that on the ground, a large-caliber radio telescope is utilized to receive pulsar radiation signals of radio wave bands, and pulsars are obtained through a certain algorithm and then utilized; the second type is that equipment for detecting pulsar radiation signals is carried on a satellite, the pulsar radiation signals of X wave bands are received, and pulsar time is obtained through a certain algorithm.
The two main types of implementation methods have respective limitations: a large-caliber radio telescope is needed for receiving the pulsar signal on the ground, so that the equipment is huge; when the satellite receives the pulsar signals, the requirements on the size, the weight, the power consumption and the like of pulsar signal monitoring equipment are strict, and in addition, the stability of the satellite, the attitude of the satellite and the surrounding atmosphere have great influence on the pulsar received signals, so that the stable and accurate pulsar time is not favorably obtained.

Wherein SSB represents the solar system centroid, n represents the pulsar direction vector, and r represents the position vector of the lunar observation base station relative to SSB.

wherein, δ t1And δ t2Is the difference between the third term and the fourth term of equations (1) and (2), and the value is less than 1ns and can be ignored. Referring to the technical result of LLR (Lunar Laser Ranging), δ r is the position measurement precision of the Lunar base station, the precision is better than 50cm, and the corresponding time difference is less than 1.7 ns. Therefore, the high-precision measurement of the atomic clock difference can be realized by the formula (3).
The high sensitivity X-ray millisecond pulsar timing detector passes through the spatial high-quality millisecond pulsar (10)-4ph/cm2/s~10-5ph/cm2In/s magnitude) to output high-precision TOA information for correcting clock error of atomic clock. Thus, the two most important indicators for this system are the sensitivity of detection, e.g., TOA accuracy, and TOA accuracyFormula (4).

At 1m2Under the effective area of the detector, the sensitivity of the detector is 1 multiplied by 10 within the detection time of 1000s-7ph/s/cm2The method can meet the detection requirement of the millisecond pulsar with weak flow and high stability.

Analyzing the relation between the TOA precision and the effective area time product of the detector according to the parameters, wherein under the same TOA precision requirement, the requirement of the pulsar with weak flow on the effective area time product of the detector system is higher for different pulsars; for the same pulsar, as the TOA accuracy increases, the requirement for the effective area of the detector system increases. For the B1937+21 pulsar, under the observation time of 10 days, when the TOA precision is 100ns, the requirement of the effective area of the detector is 1.06m2Meanwhile, the effective area of the detector can meet the sensitivity requirement.

The energy subsystem is used for supplying power to the whole month-based X-ray pulsar observation equipment.
The TOA data processing subsystem is mainly responsible for completing preprocessing of an X-ray photon arrival time sequence, large-scale space-time conversion, contour folding and standard contour comparison, and finally outputting high-precision pulse arrival time TOA.

And the pulsar-time conversion module is used for converting the pulse arrival time output by the TOA data processing subsystem into pulsar-time.
