摘要:

在预复合时代,宇宙学密度涨落可以通过汤姆森散射自然产生磁场。在以往的研究中,只考虑了初始绝热涨落产生的磁场。本文基于宇宙学扰动理论,利用光子流体和重子流体之间的紧耦合近似,研究了由原初非绝热涨落产生的宇宙学磁场.结果表明,在紧耦合近似的一阶展开下,非绝热涨落产生的磁场是可以产生的。这一结果与绝热初始涨落的情况相反,绝热初始涨落的情况下只能产生二阶的磁场。在一个一般的情况下,原始密度扰动包含小的非绝热波动上的主要绝热的顶部,我们表明,领先的磁场的来源是由二阶耦合的绝热和非绝热波动。我们计算了当非绝热涨落具有蓝色功率谱时所产生的磁场的功率谱,这是最近的宇宙学观测所提出的。

英文摘要:

In the pre-recombination era, cosmological density fluctuations can naturally generate magnetic fields through Thomson scatterings. In previous studies, only the magnetic field generation from the initially-adiabatic fluctuations has been considered. Here we investigate the generation of cosmological magnetic fields sourced by the primordial non-adiabatic fluctuations based on the cosmological perturbation theory, using the tight-coupling approximations between photon and baryon fluids. It is found that the magnetic fields from the non-adiabatic fluctuations can arise at the first-order expansion of the tight coupling approximation. This result is in contrast to the case of adiabatic initial fluctuations, where the magnetic fields can be generated only at the second-order. In a general case where the primordial density perturbations contain small non-adiabatic fluctuations on the top of the dominant adiabatic ones, we show that the leading source of magnetic fields is given by the second-order coupling of the adiabatic and non-adiabatic fluctuations. We calculate the power spectrum of the generated magnetic fields when the non-adiabatic fluctuations have a blue power spectrum, which has been suggested by recent cosmological observations.
