来自宇宙弦环的磁成因

Magnetogenesis from Cosmic String Loops

Diana Battefeld, Thorsten Battefeld, Daniel H. Wesley, Mark Wyman

摘要:

在星系和星系团中观测到大尺度相干磁场,但它们的最终起源仍然是一个谜。我们重新考虑宇宙弦网络的原始磁生成的前景。我们表明,长弦产生的磁通量在过去被高估,并给出改进的估计。我们还计算了环人口所产生的领域,并发现它给出了占主导地位的贡献的总磁场强度在当今的银河系尺度。我们提出的数值计算结果,通过不断发展的弦网络的半解析模型(包括单尺度和速度依赖的单尺度模型)在Lambda CDM宇宙学,包括力和扭矩的环从哈勃红移,动力学摩擦,和引力波发射。我们的预测包括作为相关长度的函数的磁场强度,以及由磁场覆盖的体积。我们的结论是,弦网络可以解释星系尺度上的磁场,但只有当一个有效的发电机放大机制相结合。

英文摘要:

Large-scale coherent magnetic fields are observed in galaxies and clusters, but their ultimate origin remains a mystery. We reconsider the prospects for primordial magnetogenesis by a cosmic string network. We show that the magnetic flux produced by long strings has been overestimated in the past, and give improved estimates. We also compute the fields created by the loop population, and find that it gives the dominant contribution to the total magnetic field strength on present-day galactic scales. We present numerical results obtained by evolving semi-analytic models of string networks (including both one-scale and velocity-dependent one-scale models) in a Lambda-CDM cosmology, including the forces and torques on loops from Hubble redshifting, dynamical friction, and gravitational wave emission. Our predictions include the magnetic field strength as a function of correlation length, as well as the volume covered by magnetic fields. We conclude that string networks could account for magnetic fields on galactic scales, but only if coupled with an efficient dynamo amplification mechanism.
