不同磁场位形下的磁流体射流

Magnetohydrodynamic jets from different magnetic field configurations

Christian Fendt

摘要:

使用轴对称MHD模拟,我们调查如何整体射流的形成是由磁盘磁通量配置文件和/或中央恒星磁层的存在的变化的影响。我们的模拟从无力磁场配置中的初始流体静力平衡态发展而来。我们发现准直度与盘风磁化强度幂律指数之间存在唯一的关系。对于较陡的磁盘磁场轮廓,准直度降低。由平坦剖面产生的高度准直的流出流倾向于不稳定。我们进一步考虑了平行或反平行排列的恒星偶极子和圆盘场叠加的磁场。恒星风和盘风都可能演化成一对外流,然而,一个相当强的盘风分量是必不可少的喷流准直。强烈的耀斑可能导致质量流量突然改变两倍。我们推测,这样的耀斑可能最终触发喷气结。

英文摘要:

Using axisymmetric MHD simulations we investigate how the overall jet formation is affected by a variation in the disk magnetic flux profile and/or the existence of a central stellar magnetosphere. Our simulations evolve from an initial, hydrostatic equilibrium state in a force-free magnetic field configuration. We find a unique relation between the collimation degree and the disk wind magnetization power law exponent. The collimation degree decreases for steeper disk magnetic field profiles. Highly collimated outflows resulting from a flat profile tend to be unsteady. We further consider a magnetic field superposed of a stellar dipole and a disk field in parallel or anti-parallel alignment. Both stellar and disk wind may evolve in a pair of outflows, however, a reasonably strong disk wind component is essential for jet collimation. Strong flares may lead to a sudden change in mass flux by a factor two. We hypothesize that such flares may eventually trigger jet knots.
