稀等离子体的辐射稳定性和动力稳定性

Radiative and dynamic stability of a dilute plasma

Steven A. Balbus, Christopher S. Reynolds

摘要:

我们分析了稀释,热等离子体的线性稳定性,考虑到分层和各向异性热传导的影响。这项工作的动机是试图了解在星系团内的动态介质。我们表明,磁场的配置,名义上稳定的热通量驱动的浮力不稳定性(与一个积极的热梯度)或磁热不稳定性(负热梯度)可能会导致以前未被识别的g-模式过稳定性。超稳定性的驱动源是辐射冷却(正温度梯度)或热通量本身(负温度梯度)。虽然这些过稳定性的影响还有待探讨,我们推测,在许多放松的星系团中观察到的冷锋可能与它们的非线性演化。

英文摘要:

We analyze the linear stability of a dilute, hot plasma, taking into account the effects of stratification and anisotropic thermal conduction. The work is motivated by attempts to understand the dynamics of the intracluster medium in galaxy clusters. We show that magnetic field configurations that nominally stabilize either the heat-flux driven buoyancy instability (associated with a positive thermal gradient) or the magnetothermal instability (negative thermal gradient) can lead to previously unrecognized g-mode overstabilities. The driving source of the overstability is either radiative cooling (positive temperature gradient) or the heat flux itself (negative temperature gradient). While the implications of these overstabilities have yet to be explored, we speculate that the cold fronts observed in many relaxed galaxy clusters may be related to their non-linear evolution.
