磁星磁层中正负电子等离子体的产生

Electron-Positron Plasma Generation in a Magnetar Magnetosphere

Ya. N. Istomin, D. N. Sobyanin

摘要:

本文研究了磁星-中子星的磁层中的电子-正电子等离子体产生过程,磁星-中子星具有强的表面磁场,B = 10^(14)- 10^(15)G。我们表明,光子分裂在一个磁场,这是有效的在大的场强,不会导致抑制等离子体倍增,但表现在一个高极化的伽玛射线光子。高磁场强度不会引起同步加速器光子产生的第二代粒子。然而,磁星磁层中曲率光子产生的第一代粒子的密度可以超过普通射电望远镜磁层中相同粒子的密度。等离子体产生效率低只能归因于缓慢的磁星旋转,这导致产生的粒子的能量范围变窄。我们在P-Pdot图中发现了一个边界,它定义了磁星磁层中等离子体产生的阈值。

英文摘要:

We consider the electron-positron plasma generation processes in the magnetospheres of magnetars - neutron stars with strong surface magnetic fields, B = 10^(14) - 10^(15) G. We show that the photon splitting in a magnetic field, which is effective at large field strengths, does not lead to the suppression of plasma multiplication, but manifests itself in a high polarization of gamma-ray photons. A high magnetic field strength does not give rise to the second generation of particles produced by synchrotron photons. However, the density of the first-generation particles produced by curvature photons in the magnetospheres of magnetars can exceed the density of the same particles in the magnetospheres of ordinary radio pulsars. The plasma generation inefficiency can be attributed only to slow magnetar rotation, which causes the energy range of the produced particles to narrow. We have found a boundary in the P - Pdot diagram that defines the plasma generation threshold in a magnetar magnetosphere.
