G. Vannoni, S. Gabici, F. A. Aharonian

摘要:

无线电,X射线和伽马射线观测为我们提供了强有力的证据,粒子加速到多TeV的能量在各种天体物理源。扩散激波加速是解释这种高能粒子存在的最成功的模型之一。我们讨论了逆康普顿损失的冲击加速的电子发生在辐射为主的环境中,即在辐射能量密度超过磁场的区域。我们进行了数值计算,包括在加速粒子的输运方程中的能量损失项。我们讨论了这种影响的硬X射线同步加速器和γ射线逆康普顿辐射,产生的冲击加速电子在年轻的超新星遗迹中存在的大辐射场(例如,在银河系中心)。我们还讨论了可能的影响,我们的研究结果的星系团和伽马射线双星。我们表明,逆康普顿损失的电子,在克莱因西科制度,导致光谱的超相对论电子,可能显着不同于经典的扩散冲击加速解决方案。最突出的特征是在截止能量附近的光谱中出现堆积。

英文摘要:

Radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations provide us with strong evidence of particle acceleration to multi-TeV energies in various astrophysical sources. Diffusive shock acceleration is one of the most successful models explaining the presence of such high-energy particles. We discuss the impact of inverse Compton losses on the shock acceleration of electrons that takes place in radiation dominated environments, i.e. in regions where the radiation energy density exceeds that of the magnetic field. We perform a numerical calculation, including an energy-loss term in the transport equation of accelerated particles. We discuss the implications of this effect on the hard X-ray synchrotron and gamma-ray inverse Compton radiation, produced by shock-accelerated electrons in young supernova remnants in the presence of large radiation fields (e.g. in the Galactic centre). We also discuss possible implications of our results for clusters of galaxies and gamma-ray binaries. We demonstrate that the inverse Compton losses of electrons, in the Klein-Nishina regime, lead to spectra of ultra-relativistic electrons that may significantly differ from classical diffusive shock acceleration solution. The most prominent feature is the appearance of a pile-up in the spectrum around the cut-off energy.
