流动宇宙射线的反反应对磁场产生和热不稳定性的影响

Influence of the back-reaction of streaming cosmic rays on magnetic field generation and thermal instability

Anatoly K. Nekrasov, Mohsen Shadmehri

摘要:

利用多流体方法,研究了均匀冷宇宙射线垂直于背景磁场传播时电子-离子等离子体的流动和热不稳定性。扰动也被认为是穿过磁场的。考虑了宇宙射线的反作用导致的强流不稳定性。结果表明,对于足够短的波长扰动,增长率可以超过Nekrasov & Shadmehri(2012)发现的沿磁场的宇宙线流不稳定性的增长率,而后者又大大大于Bell不稳定性(2004)的增长率。在所考虑的模型中,热不稳定性不受宇宙射线的影响。导出了热不稳定性的色散关系,其中包括等离子体和宇宙射线的声速,阿尔文和宇宙射线流速度。这些参数之间的关系决定了从Parker(1953)到Field(1965)不稳定性的热不稳定性类型。所获得的结果可用于更详细地研究电子-离子天体物理学物体,如超新星遗迹激波、星系团和其他物体,包括流动宇宙射线的动力学。

英文摘要:

Using a multi-fluid approach, we investigate streaming and thermal instabilities of the electron-ion plasma with homogeneous cold cosmic rays propagating perpendicular to the background magnetic field. Perturbations are considered to be also across the magnetic field. The back-reaction of cosmic rays resulting in strong streaming instabilities is taken into account. It is shown that for sufficiently short wavelength perturbations, the growth rates can exceed the growth rate of cosmic-ray streaming instability along the magnetic field found by Nekrasov & Shadmehri (2012), which is in its turn considerably larger than the growth rate of the Bell instability (2004). The thermal instability is shown not to be subject to the action of cosmic rays in the model under consideration. The dispersion relation for the thermal instability has been derived which includes sound velocities of plasma and cosmic rays, Alfvén and cosmic-ray streaming velocities. The relation between these parameters determines the kind of thermal instability ranging from the Parker (1953) to the Field (1965) instabilities. The results obtained can be useful for a more detailed investigation of electron-ion astrophysical objects such as supernova remnant shocks, galaxy clusters and others including the dynamics of streaming cosmic rays.
