相对论性非磁化无碰撞激波中的磁场演化

Magnetic field evolution in relativistic unmagnetized collisionless shocks

Uri Keshet, Boaz Katz, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Eli Waxman

摘要:

我们研究了相对论性非磁化无碰撞冲击使用前所未有的大粒子模拟的二维对等离子体。被激波加速的高能粒子驱动磁场演化的时间尺度大于10^4等离子体倍。在冲击波周围不断扩大的区域中,会产生越来越强的大尺度磁场。冲击产生的磁场和加速粒子分别携带>1%和>10%的下游能通量。我们的研究结果表明相对论天体物理流的磁化极限。

英文摘要:

We study relativistic unmagnetized collisionless shocks using unprecedentedly large particle-in-cell simulations of two-dimensional pair plasma. High energy particles accelerated by the shock are found to drive magnetic field evolution on a timescale >10^4 plasma times. Progressively stronger magnetic fields are generated on larger scales in a growing region around the shock. Shock-generated magnetic fields and accelerated particles carry >1% and >10% of the downstream energy flux, respectively. Our results suggest limits on the magnetization of relativistic astrophysical flows.
