cosmic ray修正激波中自生磁场的动力学效应

Dynamical effects of self-generated magnetic fields in cosmic ray modified shocks

Damiano Caprioli, Pasquale Blasi, Elena Amato, Mario Vietri

摘要:

最近观测到的超新星激波周围极大放大的磁场($δB/B\sim 100$)与粒子加速非线性理论(NLT)的预测是一致的,如果该场是由宇宙射线诱导的流动不稳定性在激波上游产生的。然而,NLT预测的高加速效率和大的激波修正需要减轻以对抗观测,这通常被认为是通过某种形式的湍流加热来实现的。我们在这里表明,磁场的强度推断,从观测有一个重要的动力学作用的冲击,并意味着冲击修改大幅减少相对于天真的未磁化的情况下。当湍流磁场中的压力与热气体的压力相当时,这种效应就出现了。这种不可避免的影响和鲜为人知的湍流加热的相对重要性进行了评估。更具体地说,我们的结论是,即使在湍流加热可能是一些重要的情况下,该领域的动力学反应不能被忽略,而不是在大多数目前的计算通常这样做。

英文摘要:

Recent observations of greatly amplified magnetic fields ($δB/B\sim 100$) around supernova shocks are consistent with the predictions of the non-linear theory of particle acceleration (NLT), if the field is generated upstream of the shock by cosmic ray induced streaming instability. The high acceleration efficiencies and large shock modifications predicted by NLT need however to be mitigated to confront observations, and this is usually assumed to be accomplished by some form of turbulent heating. We show here that magnetic fields with the strength inferred from observations have an important dynamical role on the shock, and imply a shock modification substantially reduced with respect to the naive unmagnetized case. The effect appears as soon as the pressure in the turbulent magnetic field becomes comparable with the pressure of the thermal gas. The relative importance of this unavoidable effect and of the poorly known turbulent heating is assessed. More specifically we conclude that even in the cases in which turbulent heating may be of some importance, the dynamical reaction of the field cannot be neglected, as instead is usually done in most current calculations.
