Fanaroff-Riley类II射电喷流与随机磁化团内介质的相互作用

Interaction of Fanaroff-Riley class II radio jets with a randomly magnetised intra-cluster medium

Martín Huarte-Espinosa, Martin Krause, Paul Alexander

摘要:

三维(3D)磁流体动力学(MHD)和合成数值模拟的组合,以遵循随机磁化的等离子体模型的集群内介质(ICM)的演变,强大的,轻,高超声速和双极Fanaroff-Riley II类(FR II)喷气机的孤立效应下。我们将团簇磁场(CMF)定义为高斯随机场,其能谱为Kolmogorov型。研究了射流的功率和用于合成旋转测量(RM)观测的视角。我们发现模型无线电源引入和放大的RM的统计特性,我们分析作为一个函数的时间,以及视角的波动。平均RM和RM标准差由于射流的作用而增加。能量学、RM统计和磁功率谱分析一致表明,这些影响也与喷流的功率相关,最轻、最快的喷流在其环境中产生最强烈的变化。我们看到喷流扭曲和放大了CMF,特别是在靠近叶边缘和喷流头部的地方。这一过程导致了一个扁平的RM结构功能的规模相当于源的大小。我们发现的边缘特征与在Hydra A中观察到的相似。结果表明,喷流产生的RM增强在类星体中比在射电星系中更明显。在全球范围内,喷气倾向于提高RM标准差,这可能导致CMF的强度高估约70%。本研究的目的是为SKA、EVLA和LOFAR跟踪宇宙磁场的演化提供一个参考。

英文摘要:

A combination of three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and synthetic numerical simulations are presented to follow the evolution of a randomly magnetised plasma that models the intra-cluster medium (ICM), under the isolated effects of powerful, light, hypersonic and bipolar Fanaroff-Riley class II (FR II) jets. We prescribe the cluster magnetic field (CMF) as a Gaussian random field with a Kolmogorov-like energy spectrum. Both the power of the jets and the viewing angle that is used for the synthetic Rotation Measure (RM) observations are investigated. We find the model radio sources introduce and amplify fluctuations on the RM statistical properties which we analyse as a function of time as well as the viewing angle. The average RM and the RM standard deviation are increased by the action of the jets. Energetics, RM statistics and magnetic power spectral analysis consistently show that the effects also correlate with the jets' power, and that the lightest, fastest jets produce the strongest changes in their environment. We see jets distort and amplify the CMFs especially near the edges of the lobes and the jets' heads. This process leads to a flattening of the RM structure functions at scales comparable to the source size. The edge features we find are similar to ones observed in Hydra A. The results show that jet-produced RM enhancements are more apparent in quasars than in radio galaxies. Globally, jets tend to enhance the RM standard deviation which may lead to overestimations of the CMFs' strength by about 70%. This study means to serve as a pathfinder for the SKA, EVLA and LOFAR to follow the evolution of cosmic magnetic fields.
