G. Morlino, E. Amato, P. Blasi, D. Caprioli

摘要:

本文提出了适用于信噪比膨胀到部分中性等离子体中的激波加速非线性理论。使用这个理论,我们展示了如何从年轻的SNR检测到的巴耳末线可以用来测试的效率,在生产的宇宙射线的冲击。特别是,我们调查的质子和中性氢之间的电荷交换发生在前体形成的冲击的效果。在这种前体中,CR压力加速等离子体的电离成分,并建立质子和中性氢之间的相对速度。另一方面,电荷交换过程倾向于平衡离子和中性粒子,导致两种组分的加热。我们表明,即使当冲击波转换成CR的总体积动能的百分之几,加热是足够有效的,以产生一个可检测的扩大窄巴耳末线发射的中性氢。

英文摘要:

We present the non-linear theory of shock acceleration applied to SNRs expanding into partially neutral plasma. Using this theory we show how the Balmer lines detected from young SNRs can be used to test the efficiency of shocks in the production of cosmic rays. In particular we investigate the effect of charge-exchange between protons and neutral hydrogen occurring in the precursor formed ahead of the shock. In this precursor the CR pressure accelerate the ionized component of the plasma and a relative velocity between protons and neutral hydrogen is established. On the other hand the charge-exchange process tends to equilibrate ions and neutrals resulting in the heating of both components. We show that even when the shock converts only a few per cent of the total bulk kinetic energy into CRs, the heating is efficient enough to produce a detectable broadening of the narrow Balmer lines emitted by the neutral hydrogen.
