摘要:

本文对非线性扩散激波加速(NLDSA)过程进行了半解析动力学计算,其中包括宇宙线诱导的流动不稳定性引起的磁场放大、放大后的磁场的动力学反应以及湍流加热的可能影响。该方法是专门为平行冲击波和参数,我们选择的是适当的超新星遗迹向前冲击。我们的计算使我们能够表明,放大的磁场的净效应是,以提高加速粒子的最大动量,同时减少光谱的振幅,相对于NLDSA的标准预测。这主要是由于放大场对激波的动力学反应,显著地减少了激波前兆的修改。得到的超新星遗迹典型参数的总压缩因子为$R_{tot}\sim 7-10$,与从观测中推断的值吻合得很好。通过激励流不稳定性产生的磁场的强度被发现在很好的协议与推断的几个残余物的值,如果被解释为由于严重的同步辐射损失的高能电子的X射线边缘的厚度。我们还讨论了湍流加热和磁动力学反应在驱动前体改性的还原中的相对作用。

英文摘要:

We present a semi-analytical kinetic calculation of the process of non-linear diffusive shock acceleration (NLDSA) which includes the magnetic field amplification due to cosmic ray induced streaming instability, the dynamical reaction of the amplified magnetic field and the possible effects of turbulent heating. The approach is specialized to parallel shock waves and the parameters we chose are the ones appropriate to forward shocks in Supernova Remnants. Our calculation allows us to show that the net effect of the amplified magnetic field is to enhance the maximum momentum of accelerated particles while reducing the concavity of the spectra, with respect to the standard predictions of NLDSA. This is mainly due to the dynamical reaction of the amplified field on the shock, which noticeably reduces the modification of the shock precursor. The total compression factors which are obtained for parameters typical of supernova remnants are $R_{tot}\sim 7-10$, in good agreement with the values inferred from observations. The strength of the magnetic field produced through excitation of streaming instability is found in good agreement with the values inferred for several remnants if the thickness of the X-ray rims are interpreted as due to severe synchrotron losses of high energy electrons. We also discuss the relative role of turbulent heating and magnetic dynamical reaction in driving the reduction of the precursor modification.
