来自行星的磁控流出物

Magnetically Controlled Outflows from Planets

Fred C. Adams, James E. Owen

摘要:

热中子星可能会经历由来自其宿主恒星的紫外线辐射加热驱动的质量损失,这种流动通常由磁场控制。更具体地说,在近行星表面,磁压力占主导地位的冲压压力的流出由几个数量级。离开行星附近后,气流必须连接到由恒星风和恒星磁场提供的背景环境。这一贡献认为磁控行星外流和扩展以前的工作,通过比较两种不同的几何形状的背景磁场提供的恒星。在第一种情况下,恒星场被假设为保持偶极子的形式,这是反对与行星的偶极子场对齐。在第二种情况下,恒星外流打开了恒星磁场结构,使得行星所在位置的背景场垂直于行星偶极子。使用数值模拟,我们认为发射的行星风与这些领域的配置。

英文摘要:

Hot Jupiters can experience mass loss driven by heating from UV radiation from their host stars, and this flow is often controlled by magnetic fields. More specifically, near the planetry surface, the magnetic pressure dominates the ram pressure of the outflow by several orders of magnitude. After leaving the vicinity of the planet, the flow must connect onto the background environment provided by the stellar wind and the stellar magnetic field. This contribution considers magnetically controlled planetary outflows and extends previous work by comparing two different geometries for the background magnetic field provided by the star. In the first case, stellar field is assumed to retain the form of a dipole, which is anti-aligned with the dipole field of the planet. In the second case, the stellar outflow opens up the stellar magnetic field structure so that the background field at the location of the planet is perpendicular to the planetary dipole. Using numerical simulations, we consider the launch of the planetary wind with these field configurations.
