近源对观测到的cosmic-ray核的贡献

On the contribution of nearby sources to the observed cosmic-ray nuclei

Satyendra Thoudam

摘要:

附近的离散宇宙线(CR)源的存在可以导致许多有趣的影响,所观察到的属性的CR。在本文中,我们研究了可能的影响,对CR的初级和次级光谱,以及随后的影响,对CR的次级到初级的比例。在这项研究中,我们假设CRs在银河系中进行扩散传播,我们忽略对流,能量损失和再加速的影响。在我们的模型中,我们假设存在一个均匀和连续分布的CR源在银河系中产生一个固定的CR背景在地球上。此外,我们还考虑了在离散时空模型中存在一些注入CR的邻近源。假设整个银河系的CR源功率恒定,我们的研究发现,如果假设CR在超新星爆炸后瞬间释放,附近超新星遗迹(SNRs)的存在会产生主要在~ 100 GeV/n以上的主要通量的明显变化。在10^5 GeV/n附近,变化达到~ 45%。相对于早期的研究,在第二次的情况下的变化被发现几乎可以忽略不计。我们还讨论了不同的粒子释放时间从信噪比的可能影响。对于信噪比中扩散激波加速理论预测的约10^5年的粒子释放时间,我们发现附近信噪比的存在几乎不会对地球上的CR产生任何显著影响。

英文摘要:

The presence of nearby discrete cosmic-ray (CR) sources can lead to many interesting effects on the observed properties of CRs. In this paper, we study about the possible effects on the CR primary and secondary spectra and also the subsequent effects on the CR secondary-to-primary ratios. For the study, we assume that CRs undergo diffusive propagation in the Galaxy and we neglect the effect of convection, energy losses and reacceleration. In our model, we assume that there exists a uniform and continuous distribution of CR sources in the Galaxy generating a stationary CR background at the Earth. In addition, we also consider the existence of some nearby sources which inject CRs in a discrete space-time model. Assuming a constant CR source power throughout the Galaxy, our study has found that the presence of nearby supernova remnants (SNRs) produces noticeable variations in the primary fluxes mainly above ~ 100 GeV/n, if CRs are assumed to be released instantaneously after the supernova explosion. The variation reaches a value of ~ 45% at around 10^5 GeV/n. Respect to earlier studies, the variation in the case of the secondaries is found to be almost negligible. We also discuss about the possible effects of the different particle release times from the SNRs. For the particle release time of ~ 10^5 yr, predicted by the diffusive shock acceleration theories in SNRs, we have found that the presence of the nearby SNRs hardly produces any significant effects on the CRs at the Earth.
