脉冲星辐射带与瞬态射电辐射

Pulsar radiation belts and transient radio emission

Q. Luo, D. B. Melrose

摘要:

提出了周期较长、磁场较强的脉冲星可能存在类似于行星磁层辐射带的观点。在位于光柱附近的闭合场线区域的带中,相对论对被捕获并保持在远高于局部Goldreich-Julian共转密度的密度。被捕获的等离子体可以通过直接注入相对论对来提供和补充,相对论对来自休眠的外部间隙中的外部提供的粒子的加速,或者原位电离捕获区域中的吸积的中性材料。辐射带可能会被等离子体不稳定性在该区域激发的波或由于星震或恒星振荡从表面发射的波破坏。这种破坏会导致间歇性的粒子沉降到恒星上,产生无线电爆发。有人建议,这样的突发可能被视为旋转无线电瞬变(RRAT)。

英文摘要:

It is proposed that radiation belts similar to the ones in the planetary magnetosphere can exist for a pulsar with a relatively long period and a strong magnetic field. In the belts located in the closed field line region near the light cylinder relativistic pairs are trapped and maintained at a density substantially higher than the local Goldreich-Julian corotation density. The trapped plasma can be supplied and replenished by either direct injection of relativistic pairs from acceleration of externally-supplied particles in a dormant outer gap or in situ ionization of the accreted neutral material in the trapping region. The radiation belts can be disrupted by waves that are excited in the region as the result of plasma instabilities or emitted from the surface due to starquakes or stellar oscillations. The disruption can cause an intermittent particle precipitation toward the star producing radio bursts. It is suggested that such bursts may be seen as rotating radio transients (RRATs).
