自引力片模型中的准stationary states

Quasi-stationary states in the self-gravitating sheet model

Michael Joyce, Tirawut Worrakitpoonpon

摘要:

本文研究了一维自引力“片模型”中由剧烈弛豫引起的准定态(QSS),特别是重新讨论了林登-贝尔(LB)理论是否足以描述它们的问题。对于以单相空间密度为特征的“水囊”初始条件,该理论的预测在该模型中仅为一个参数的函数,该参数可以方便地选择为能量与简并极限能量之比。研究一类这样的初始条件,其中初始水袋的形状是不同的,我们发现,LB预测是相当不错的总是在低能量区域,而在较高的能量(即在非简并极限),他们通常甚至不定性正确,虽然某些初始条件仍然可以找到他们一样好,在低能量。我们发现,与Levin等人在其他模型中观察到的一致,当LB理论不起作用时,QSS总是以{ \it简并}核的存在为特征,这些作者将其解释为动力学共振的结果。简而言之,LB理论似乎是一个很好的近似,只有当暴力松弛是足够的“温柔”,否则一个退化的核心晕结构的结果。

英文摘要:

We study quasi-stationary states (QSS) resulting from violent relaxation in the one-dimensional self-gravitating "sheet model", revisiting in particular the question of the adequacy of the theory of Lynden-Bell (LB) to describe them. For "waterbag" initial conditions characterized by a single phase space density, the prediction of this theory is, in this model, a function of only one parameter, which can conveniently be chosen to be the ratio of the energy to that in the degenerate limit. Studying a class of such initial conditions in which the shape of the initial waterbag is varied, we find that the LB predictions are reasonably good always in the low energy region, while at higher energies (i.e. in the non-degenerate limit) they are generally not even qualitatively correct, although certain initial conditions can still be found where they are as good as at low energy. We find notably that, in line with what has been observed by Levin et al. in some other models, when LB theory does not work the QSS are always characterized by the presence of a {\it degenerate} core, which these authors explain as the result of dynamical resonances. In short LB theory appears to be a good approximation only when violent relaxation is sufficiently "gentle", and otherwise a degenerate core-halo structure results.
