相对论射流中再细化激波的耗散效率

Dissipation Efficiency of Reconfinement Shocks in Relativistic Jets

Krzysztof Nalewajko

摘要:

计算了相对论约束激波的耗散效率。在以前的工作(Nalewajko & Sikora 2009)的基础上,我们考虑了不同的外部压力分布。平均耗散效率ε_diss是射流洛伦兹因子Gamma_j和约束角θ_r这两个参数的乘积的函数,这与开度角θ_j和外压指数eta有关。耗散率的空间分布强烈地依赖于η。我们讨论了这些结果的相对论性喷流在伽马射线暴和活动星系核的性质的意义,并提出,约束冲击可以解释一个非常高的耗散效率的前者和后者的中等耗散效率。最后,我们估计了射电星系M87喷流中与准定常纽结HST-1相关的精化激波的耗散效率,并表明它与观测约束大致一致。

英文摘要:

We calculate the dissipation efficiency of relativistic reconfinement shocks. Building on previous work (Nalewajko & Sikora 2009), we consider different distributions of the external pressure. The average dissipation efficiency epsilon_diss is a function of the product of two parameters - the jet Lorentz factor Gamma_j and the reconfinement angle Theta_r, which is related to the opening angle Theta_j and the external pressure index eta. The spatial distribution of the dissipation rate strongly depends on eta. We discuss the significance of these results for the properties of relativistic jets in gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei and propose that reconfinement shocks may explain a very high dissipation efficiency of the former and a moderate dissipation efficiency of the latter. Finally, we estimate the dissipation efficiency of the reconfinement shock associated with the quasi-stationary knot HST-1 in the jet of radio galaxy M87 and show that it is roughly consistent with the observational constraints.
