摘要:

抖动辐射是由相对论电子在湍流小尺度磁场中运动产生的,例如在弱磁化介质中无碰撞冲击时由流动的韦伯型不稳定性产生的。在这里,我们提出了一个全面的研究的抖动辐射光谱的依赖性的属性,一般来说,各向异性磁湍流。我们得到辐射谱在一定程度上反映了磁场空间分布的性质,但辐射场是各向异性的,并且相对于场各向异性方向对观察方向敏感。我们探讨了磁场分布的参数空间及其对辐射谱的影响。一些重要成果包括:在某些视角下,在峰值频率以下存在比同步加速器更难的部分,即使对于电子的单能分布也存在高频幂律尾部,峰值频率依赖于场相关长度而不是场强度,光谱参数与视角的强相关性。在一般情况下,我们已经发现,即使是相对较小的变化,磁场属性可以产生非常显着的影响上的抖动辐射光谱。我们认为这些结果是重要的,准确的解释提示伽马射线暴光谱和可能的其他来源。

英文摘要:

Jitter radiation is produced by relativistic electrons moving in turbulent small-scale magnetic fields such as those produced by streaming Weibel-type instabilities at collisionless shocks in weakly magnetized media. Here we present a comprehensive study of the dependence of the jitter radiation spectra on the properties of, in general, anisotropic magnetic turbulence. We have obtained that the radiation spectra do reflect, to some extent, properties of the magnetic field spatial distribution, yet the radiation field is anisotropic and sensitive to the viewing direction with respect to the field anisotropy direction. We explore the parameter space of the magnetic field distribution and its effect on the radiation spectrum. Some important results include: the presence of the harder-than-synchrotron segment below the peak frequency at some viewing angles, the presence of the high-frequency power-law tail even for a monoenergetic distribution of electrons, the dependence of the peak frequency on the field correlation length rather than the field strength, the strong correlation of the spectral parameters with the viewing angle. In general, we have found that even relatively minor changes in the magnetic field properties can produce very significant effects upon the jitter radiation spectra. We consider these results to be important for accurate interpretation of prompt gamma-ray burst spectra and possibly other sources.
