摘要:

Fanaroff-Riley II类源的射电观测经常显示出同步辐射和线性偏振分布之间的相关性。磁位置矢量似乎与射电喷流和源边缘的投影发射一致。使用统计学,我们研究这样的关系,以及其未知的时间演化通过合成的模型FR II源的极化图形成的双极,高超音速和弱磁化射流的3D-MHD数值模拟。磁场最初是随机的,到处都具有柯尔莫哥洛夫功率谱。我们研究了源中磁场的结构和演化随喷流功率和观测视角的变化。我们的合成极化图与观测结果一致,显示B场矢量主要与喷流轴对齐,并显示源内部的磁场由喷流回流形成。偏振被发现与时间,视角和射流到环境的密度对比度。细长源内部的磁结构比球形源内部的磁结构更均匀。我们看到射流增加了茧中的磁能,与射流速度和茧的宽度成比例。合成辐射图中的丝状体表明,湍流是在演化源中发展起来的。

英文摘要:

Radio observations of Fanaroff-Riley class II sources often show correlations between the synchrotron emission and the linear-polarimetric distributions. Magnetic position vectors seem to align with the projected emission of both the radio jets and the sources' edges. Using statistics we study such relation as well as its unknown time evolution via synthetic polarisation maps of model FR II sources formed in 3D-MHD numerical simulations of bipolar, hypersonic and weakly magnetised jets. The magnetic field is initially random with a Kolmogorov power spectrum, everywhere. We investigate the structure and evolution of magnetic fields in the sources as a function of the power of jets and the observational viewing angle. Our synthetic polarisation maps agree with observations, showing B-field vectors which are predominantly aligned with the jet axis, and show that magnetic fields inside sources are shaped by the jets' backflow. Polarimetry is found to correlate with time, the viewing angle and the jet-to-ambient density contrast. The magnetic structure inside thin elongated sources is more uniform than inside more spherical ones. We see jets increase the magnetic energy in cocoons in proportion to the jet velocity and the cocoon width. Filaments in the synthetic emission maps suggest turbulence develops in evolved sources.
