随机费米加速在确定星际介质中turbulence耗散标度中的作用

On the role of stochastic Fermi acceleration in setting the dissipation scale of turbulence in the interstellar medium

Robert I Selkowitz, Eric G. Blackman

摘要:

本文研究了星际介质雷诺层中磁声湍流的费米加速耗散。级联中的尺度,在该尺度下,通过随机费米加速(STFA)的电子加速变得与湍流的进一步级联相当,定义了内部尺度。对于任何等于或小于Goldreich-Sridhar的磁湍流谱,这是$\ge 10^{12}$ cm,这比在无线电闪烁测量中观察到的最短长度尺度大得多。虽然STFA为这样的光谱,然后矛盾的闪烁模型,呼吁直接扩展,连续的湍流级联,这种分离的尺度是一致的\citet{Boldyrev2}和\citet{Boldyrev3}最近的工作表明,星际闪烁可能会导致通过无线电波通过银河系分布的薄电离边界面的HII地区,而不是从级联湍流的密度变化。STFA耗散的存在也为星际介质\citep{Reynolds}雷诺层中观测到的非电离热源提供了一种机制。STFA提供适当的加热功率,输入能量在低密度雷诺层等离子体中迅速热化。

英文摘要:

We consider the dissipation by Fermi acceleration of magnetosonic turbulence in the Reynolds Layer of the interstellar medium. The scale in the cascade at which electron acceleration via stochastic Fermi acceleration (STFA) becomes comparable to further cascade of the turbulence defines the inner scale. For any magnetic turbulent spectra equal to or shallower than Goldreich-Sridhar this turns out to be $\ge 10^{12}$cm, which is much larger than the shortest length scales observed in radio scintillation measurements. While STFA for such spectra then contradict models of scintillation which appeal directly to an extended, continuous turbulent cascade, such a separation of scales is consistent with the recent work of \citet{Boldyrev2} and \citet{Boldyrev3} suggesting that interstellar scintillation may result from the passage of radio waves through the galactic distribution of thin ionized boundary surfaces of HII regions, rather than density variations from cascading turbulence. The presence of STFA dissipation also provides a mechanism for the non-ionizing heat source observed in the Reynolds Layer of the interstellar medium \citep{Reynolds}. STFA accommodates the proper heating power, and the input energy is rapidly thermalized within the low density Reynolds layer plasma.
