太阳风中质子温度各向异性与横向高频波的相关

Correlations between the proton temperature anisotropy and transverse high-frequency waves in the solar wind

Sofiane Bourouaine, Eckart Marsch, Fritz M. Neubauer

摘要:

本文研究了等离子体坐标系中频率在$0.01$和$1$之间的横波的功率密度与质子的垂直和平行温度之比之间的关系。波功率谱是从高分辨率的三维磁场矢量分量进行评估,离子温度是从Helios-2主要任务期间在距太阳0.3~AU和0.9~AU的径向距离处的快速太阳风中测量的速度分布函数导出的。从我们的统计分析,我们得到了一个惊人的质子温度比的增加和波功率谱的增强之间的相关性。在太阳附近,波功率的横向部分通常比纵向部分高出一个数量级以上。此外,所测得的离子温度各向异性似乎是有限的离子回旋不稳定性的理论阈值。这表明高频阿尔文回旋波调节质子温度各向异性。

英文摘要:

Correlations are studied between the power density of transverse waves having frequencies between $0.01$ and $1$ normalized to the proton gyrofrequency in the plasma frame and the ratio of the perpendicular and parallel temperature of the protons. The wave power spectrum is evaluated from high-resolution 3D magnetic field vector components, and the ion temperatures are derived from the velocity distribution functions as measured in fast solar wind during the Helios-2 primary mission at radial distances from the Sun between 0.3~AU and 0.9~AU. From our statistical analysis, we obtain a striking correlation between the increases in the proton temperature ratio and enhancements in the wave power spectrum. Near the Sun the transverse part of the wave power is often found to be by more than an order of magnitude higher than its longitudinal counterpart. Also the measured ion temperature anisotropy appears to be limited by the theoretical threshold value for the ion-cyclotron instability. This suggests that high-frequency Alfvén-cyclotron waves regulate the proton temperature anisotropy.
