摘要:

在这封信中,我们描述了新的高分辨率轴对称相对论MHD模拟脉冲星风星云的结果。模拟结果表明,赤道对称性和高度可变的结构脉冲星风终止冲击强烈的故障。合成的同步辐射图,使用一种新的更精确的方法构建,显示出与钱德拉和哈勃太空望远镜获得的蟹状星云的著名图像惊人的相似性。除了喷流环的结构,这些地图再现了蟹状星云著名的移动小束,其速度和产生率与观测结果一致。然后,使用各种统计方法,包括结构函数和小波变换的方法进行分析的变异性。结果表明,在1.5- 3 yr尺度下,湍流具有准周期性,而在1 yr尺度下,湍流具有MHD特性。本研究的完整报告将在后续文件中介绍。

英文摘要:

In this letter, we describe results of new high-resolution axisymmetric relativistic MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae. The simulations reveal strong breakdown of the equatorial symmetry and highly variable structure of the pulsar wind termination shock. The synthetic synchrotron maps, constructed using a new more accurate approach, show striking similarity with the well known images of the Crab Nebula obtained by Chandra, and the Hubble Space Telescope. In addition to the jet-torus structure, these maps reproduce the Crab's famous moving wisps whose speed and rateof production agree with the observations. The variability is then analyzed using various statistical methods, including the method of structure function and wavelet transform. The results point towards the quasi-periodic behaviour with the periods of 1.5-3yr and MHD turbulence on scales below 1yr. The full account of this study will be presented in a follow up paper.
