摘要: 水星逆行(即“水逆”)是一种由水星与地球相对运动产生的天文现象。精确描述和预测“水逆”现象对天文观测仪器校正、航天发射和操作任务时间窗口选择等具有重要的参考意义。本文基于高精度星历数据(DE440)获取水星位置,模拟仿真了2024—2044年水星在黄道惯性坐标系下相对于地球的运行轨迹,结合水星赤经变化率计算了“水逆”时间,并探究水逆轨迹的时空分布特征。结果表明,不同的年份发生“水逆”现象的次数不同,每年发生3~4次“水逆”现象;平均持续时间约为23 d(波动范围为20~26 d),相邻两次逆行间隔周期平均约为95 d(波动范围为89~103 d);不同年份的水星逆行轨迹存在相似性,尤其在相隔13年的年份之间(如2024和2037年)这种相似性更为显著;此外,平均每4~5年会出现一次跨越两个公历年的水星逆行现象。

Abstract: Mercury retrograde is an astronomical phenomenon caused by the relative motion of mercury and earth. Accurately describing and predicting the “mercury retrograde” phenomenon is of great significance for the calibration of astronomical observation instruments, the selection of launch and operation task time windows, etc. In this paper, based on high-precision ephemeris data (DE440), the position of mercury is obtained, and the trajectory of mercury in the equatorial inertial coordinate system relative to earth is simulated and modeled from 2024 to 2044. The retrograde time of mercury is calculated based on the rate of change of right ascension, and the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the retrograde trajectory are explored. The results show that the number of times that the “mercury retrograde” phenomenon occurs in different years is different, with 3~4 occurrences per year.The average duration of “mercury retrograde” is about 23 days (with a fluctuation range of 20~26 days), and the average interval between two consecutive retrograde periods is about 95 days (with a fluctuation range of 89~103 days).There is a similarity in the retrograde trajectories of mercury in different years, especially in the years that are 13 years apart (such as 2024 and 2037).In addition, there will be a retrograde of mercury that spans two calendar years on average every 4~5 years.

Key words: retrograde motion of water, DE440, rate of change of right ascension, spatial and temporal distribution characteristics
