摘要:

在无碰撞冲击中激发的等离子体不稳定性是粒子加速的原因。本文研究了非磁化相对论正负电子喷流在非磁化正负电子等离子体中传播时的粒子加速和激波结构。冷喷流电子被热化和减慢,而周围的电子被扫起,以创建一个部分发展的流体动力学样的激波结构。在前导冲击中,电子密度在模拟帧中增加约3.5倍。在尾激波中产生强电磁场,并提供发射点。这些磁场有助于电子的横向偏转后面的冲击。我们的喷流与环境相互作用的反平行磁场的初步结果显示堆积的磁场在碰撞冲击,这可能会导致重联和相关的粒子加速。我们将探讨瞬态辐射作为瞬发辐射前兆的一种可能的产生机制。在我们的模拟中,我们计算了冲击区电子的辐射。这种辐射的详细性质对于理解伽马射线暴、相对论喷流和超新星遗迹中复杂的时间演化和光谱结构是非常重要的。

英文摘要:

lasma instabilities excited in collisionless shocks are responsible for particle acceleration. We have investigated the particle acceleration and shock structure associated with an unmagnetized relativistic electron-positron jet propagating into an unmagnetized electron-positron plasma. Cold jet electrons are thermalized and slowed while the ambient electrons are swept up to create a partially developed hydrodynamic-like shock structure. In the leading shock, electron density increases by a factor of about 3.5 in the simulation frame. Strong electromagnetic fields are generated in the trailing shock and provide an emission site. These magnetic fields contribute to the electron's transverse deflection behind the shock. Our initial results of a jet-ambient interaction with anti-parallel magnetic fields show pile-up of magnetic fields at the colliding shock, which may lead to reconnection and associated particle acceleration. We will investigate the radiation in transient stage as a possible generation mechanism of precursors of prompt emission. In our simulations we calculate the radiation from electrons in the shock region. The detailed properties of this radiation are important for understanding the complex time evolution and spectral structure in gamma-ray bursts, relativistic jets, and supernova remnants.
