摘要:

在沃尔夫-拉叶星和红超巨星的磁风爆炸中,超新星中的粒子会加速,其中一个重要的预测是,会产生一种具有E^-2光谱的高能粒子成分,其注入时的通量只有百分之几。考虑到传输效应,使光谱陡峭至E^-7/3后,电子的这一成分产生电磁辐射,并很容易在光谱、强度和径向轮廓上解释来自银河系中心区域的WMAP薄雾。这就要求宇宙射线在银河系中心区域的扩散时间尺度要比在太阳附近的短得多:宇宙射线电子的能量在扩散主导和损失主导之间的过渡被转移到相当高的粒子能量。我们预测,更精确的观测将发现射电频谱为ν^-2/3,在更高的频率上为ν^-1,最后在更高的频率上为ν^-3/2。

英文摘要:

One important prediction of acceleration of particles in the supernova caused shock in the magnetic wind of exploding Wolf Rayet and Red Super Giant stars is the production of an energetic particle component with an E^-2 spectrum, at a level of a few percent in flux at injection. After allowing for transport effects, so steepening the spectrum to E^-7/3, this component of electrons produces electromagnetic radiation and readily explains the WMAP haze from the Galactic Center region in spectrum, intensity and radial profile. This requires the diffusion time scale for cosmic rays in the Galactic Center region to be much shorter than in the Solar neighborhood: the energy for cosmic ray electrons at the transition between diffusion dominance and loss dominance is shifted to considerably higher particle energy. We predict that more precise observations will find a radio spectrum of ν^-2/3, at higher frequencies ν^-1, and at yet higher frequencies finally ν^-3/2.
