宇宙磁场:从恒星和星系到原始宇宙

Cosmic Magnetic Fields: from Stars and Galaxies to the Primordial Universe

Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino

摘要:

宇宙中的大多数重子物质都被磁场所渗透,这些磁场影响着致密源和扩散气体中的许多(如果不是大多数的话)天体物理现象。近年来,世界范围内对天体物理学磁场、磁场起源及其对天体物理物体(恒星、星系、冷却流)形成和演化的影响的兴趣激增。这种日益增长的兴趣部分是由于这样一个事实,即已经有可能在银河系的广阔范围内追踪分子云中的磁场,并研究河外磁场,包括星系团中的磁场。随着各种技术的结合,如塞曼和法拉第旋转测量与同步加速器和对齐的晶粒偏振仪,现在有可能进行定量观测研究的磁场,其结果可以与高分辨率发电机和MHD湍流模拟。这使该领域进入了一个新的阶段。在本文中,我将简要回顾宇宙磁场的重要性,从理论和观测的角度来看,集中在恒星和紧凑的对象,在星际介质和恒星形成区,在星系,星系团,和原始宇宙中的作用。

英文摘要:

Most of the baryonic matter in the Universe is permeated by magnetic fields which affect many, if not most, of astrophysical phenomena both, in compact sources and in diffuse gas. Recent years have been marked by a worldwide surge of interest in the astrophysical magnetic fields, their origin, and their influence on the formation and evolution of astrophysical objects (stars, galaxies, cooling flows). This growing interest is in part due to the fact that it has become possible to trace magnetic fields in molecular clouds, over vast extensions of the Milky Way and to study extragalactic magnetic fields, including fields in clusters of galaxies. With the combination of various techniques, such as Zeeman and Faraday rotation measurements with synchrotron and aligned grain polarimetry, it is now possible to undertake quantitative observational studies of magnetic fields, the results of which can be compared with high resolution dynamo and MHD turbulence simulations. This brings the field to a new stage. In this paper, I will briefly review the importance of the cosmic magnetic fields both from a theoretical and from an observational perspective, focusing on their role in stellar and compact objects, in the interstellar medium and star formation regions, and in galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the primordial Universe.
