Hanle效应作为恒星包层磁场的诊断。第五章开普勒的细线

The Hanle Effect as a Diagnostic of Magnetic Fields in Stellar Envelopes. V. Thin Lines from Keplerian Disks

R. Ignace

摘要:

本文主要研究磁化圆盘中共振散射线的偏振特性。考虑开普勒平面圆盘的光学细线。针对轴向场的简单场拓扑计算模型线轮廓(即,垂直于盘平面)和环形场(即,纯方位角的)。基于斯托克斯Q-U图,提出了一种分辨圆盘中场强和几何形状的方法,该方法用于测量由圆盘旋转而多普勒展宽的线轮廓上的偏振。讨论了磁旋转不稳定性(MRI)的磁化磁盘的汉勒效应。假设MRI具有混合矢量场取向的趋势,则可能难以检测具有纵向塞曼效应的盘场,因为圆偏振信号的幅度与观察者方向上的净磁通量成比例。汉勒效应不会受到这种阻碍,因此可以使用多线分析来约束由MRI主导的磁盘中的场强。

英文摘要:

This paper focuses on the polarized profiles of resonance scattering lines that form in magnetized disks. Optically thin lines from Keplerian planar disks are considered. Model line profiles are calculated for simple field topologies of axial fields (i.e., vertical to the disk plane) and toroidal fields (i.e., purely azimuthal). A scheme for discerning field strengths and geometries in disks is developed based on Stokes Q-U diagrams for the run of polarization across line profiles that are Doppler broadened by the disk rotation. A discussion of the Hanle effect for magnetized disks in which the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is operating is also presented. Given that the MRI has a tendency to mix the vector field orientation, it may be difficult to detect the disk fields with the longitudinal Zeeman effect, since the amplitude of the circularly polarized signal scales with the net magnetic flux in the direction of the observer. The Hanle effect does not suffer from this impediment, and so a multi-line analysis could be used to constrain field strengths in disks dominated by the MRI.
