星际Turbulence的统计工具:弥合数值与观测之间的差距

Statistical Tools of Interstellar Turbulence: Bridging the Gap Between Numerics and Observations

Blakesley Burkhart, Alex Lazarian

摘要:

MHD湍流是恒星形成、粒子输运、磁重联和ISM演化的当前范例的关键组成部分。通过数值模拟和观测研究,在这个困难的问题上取得了进展。然而,由于分辨率的限制,尺度差异和观测的复杂性,将数值与观测联系起来的最佳方法并不总是显而易见的。在这里,我们提倡一种方法,调用统计技术来理解动荡的天体物理系统的基础物理。大量的数值和观测数据要求开发新的统计工具,以便研究星际介质中的湍流。我们简要地回顾了一些最近开发的统计数据,专注于表征气体的压缩性和磁化强度及其使用星际研究。

英文摘要:

MHD Turbulence is a critical component of the current paradigms of star formation, particle transport, magnetic reconnection and evolution of the ISM. Progress on this difficult subject is made via numerical simulations and observational studies. However, due to limitations of resolution, scale discrepancies, and complexity of the observations, the best approach for connecting numerics to observations is not always obvious. Here we advocate for a approach that invokes statistical techniques to understand the underlying physics of turbulent astrophysical systems. The wealth of numerical and observational data calls for new statistical tools to be developed in order to study turbulence in the interstellar medium. We briefly review some of the recently developed statistics that focus on characterizing gas compressibility and magnetization and their uses to interstellar studies.
