利用信噪比探测ISM磁场

Probing ISM Magnetic Fields With SNRs

Roland Kothes Jo-Anne Brown

摘要:

当超新星遗迹膨胀时,它们的冲击波冻结并压缩它们遇到的磁场线;因此,我们可以将超新星遗迹用作其周围磁场的放大镜。我们将描述一个简单的模型,以确定发射,偏振和旋转测量特性的膨胀超新星遗迹,以及我们如何利用这个模型来获得信息的大尺度磁场在我们的银河系。我们将举两个例子:SNR DA 530位于银河平面上方,揭示了银河系晕中磁场的信息。SNR G182.4+4.3位于我们银河系的反中心附近,揭示了大规模磁场垂直于视线的最可能方向。这可能有助于决定我们银河系的大规模磁场配置。

英文摘要:

As supernova remnants expand, their shock waves are freezing in and compressing the magnetic field lines they encounter; consequently we can use supernova remnants as magnifying glasses for their ambient magnetic fields. We will describe a simple model to determine emission, polarization, and rotation measure characteristics of adiabatically expanding supernova remnants and how we can exploit this model to gain information about the large scale magnetic field in our Galaxy. We will give two examples: The SNR DA530, which is located high above the Galactic plane, reveals information about the magnetic field in the halo of our Galaxy. The SNR G182.4+4.3 is located close to the anti-centre of our Galaxy and reveals the most probable direction where the large-scale magnetic field is perpendicular to the line of sight. This may help to decide on the large-scale magnetic field configuration of our Galaxy.
