中子星壳中由于撕裂模发展引起的磁场耗散

Dissipation of magnetic fields in neutron star crusts due to development of a tearing mode

Maxim Lyutikov

摘要:

中子星壳霍尔等离子体中磁场的耗散可能为一类强磁化中子星磁星的持续高能辐射提供能量。我们认为霍尔等离子体(电子MHD)的耗散撕裂模式的发展,并发现其增长率随扰动波数的增加,达到电阻$τ_r$和霍尔倍$τ_H$,$Γ\sim 1 / \sqrt{τ_r τ_H}$之间的中间最大值。我们认为,撕裂模可能是磁星中强磁场在$\sim 10^4-10^5$年时间尺度上耗散的主要机制,为持续的X射线发射提供能量。

英文摘要:

Dissipation of magnetic fields in Hall plasma of neutron star crusts may power persistent high energy emission of a class of strongly magnetized neutrons stars, magnetars. We consider development of a dissipative tearing mode in Hall plasma (electron MHD) and find that its growth rate increases with the wave number of perturbations, reaching a maximum value intermediate between resistive $τ_r$ and Hall times $τ_H$, $Γ\sim 1 / \sqrt{τ_r τ_H}$. We argue that the tearing mode may be the principal mechanism by which strong magnetic fields are dissipated in magnetars on times scale of $\sim 10^4-10^5$ yrs powering the persistent X-ray emisison.
