SN驱动的星际turbulence的磁场放大

Magnetic field amplification by SN-driven interstellar turbulence

Oliver Gressel, Udo Ziegler, Detlef Elstner

摘要:

在星际介质中,超新星被认为是驱动湍流的主要因素。直到最近,它们对盘状星系中磁场放大的影响仍然不确定。基于非相关系综方法的分析模型预测,任何产生的场在被显著放大之前都会被从盘中驱逐。通过对超新星驱动湍流的直接模拟,我们证明了情况并非如此。考虑到银河系的差异旋转和垂直分层,我们发现在数亿年的时间尺度上平均场呈指数放大。我们特别强调了旋转的重要性,在产生螺旋度的基础上,通过显示一个类似的机制,笛卡尔剪切不会导致持续放大的平均磁场。

英文摘要:

Within the interstellar medium, supernovae are thought to be the prevailing agents in driving turbulence. Until recently, their effects on magnetic field amplification in disk galaxies remained uncertain. Analytical models based on the uncorrelated-ensemble approach predicted that any created field would be expelled from the disk before it could be amplified significantly. By means of direct simulations of supernova-driven turbulence, we demonstrate that this is not the case. Accounting for galactic differential rotation and vertical stratification, we find an exponential amplification of the mean field on timescales of several hundred million years. We especially highlight the importance of rotation in the generation of helicity by showing that a similar mechanism based on Cartesian shear does not lead to a sustained amplification of the mean magnetic field.
