摘要:

在ROSAT 1/4 keV(R12)波段,太阳风与氢产生发射进行电荷交换的产生因子或宽带平均截面为$3.8\pm0.2\times10^{-20}$计数度$^{-2}$ cm $^4$。这一数值来自ROSAT全天巡天中的长期(背景)增强与磁鞘磁流体动力学模拟的比较。这个值比从有限的原子数据得出的值高1.8到4.5倍,这表明这些值可能丢失了大量的微弱线。这个生产因素是很重要的1/4千电子伏波段通量,是由于当地的热气泡,规划未来的观测在1/4千电子伏波段,并评估建议遥感磁鞘的准确金额。同样的方法不能应用于3/4 keV波段,因为该波段主要由氧谱线组成,对太阳风中详细的丰度和电离平衡更为敏感。我们还表明,顺便说一句,最近的努力相关的XMM-牛顿观测几何与磁鞘太阳风电荷交换发射的氧线已经,从字面上看,误导。对内日光层的模拟表明,将日光层太阳风电荷交换与当地太阳风参数联系起来的更广泛的努力不太可能产生有用的结果。

英文摘要:

The production factor, or broad band averaged cross-section, for solar wind charge-exchange with hydrogen producing emission in the ROSAT 1/4 keV (R12) band is $3.8\pm0.2\times10^{-20}$ count degree$^{-2}$ cm$^4$. This value is derived from a comparison of the Long-Term (background) Enhancements in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with magnetohysdrodynamic simulations of the magnetosheath. This value is 1.8 to 4.5 times higher than values derived from limited atomic data, suggesting that those values may be missing a large number of faint lines. This production factor is important for deriving the exact amount of 1/4 keV band flux that is due to the Local Hot Bubble, for planning future observations in the 1/4 keV band, and for evaluating proposals for remote sensing of the magnetosheath. The same method cannot be applied to the 3/4 keV band as that band, being composed primarily of the oxygen lines, is far more sensitive to the detailed abundances and ionization balance in the solar wind. We also show, incidentally, that recent efforts to correlate XMM-Newton observing geometry with magnetosheath solar wind charge-exchange emission in the oxygen lines have been, quite literally, misguided. Simulations of the inner heliosphere show that broader efforts to correlate heliospheric solar wind charge-exchange with local solar wind parameters are unlikely to produce useful results.
