弱脉冲星的无毛定理

No-Hair Theorem for Weak Pulsar

Andrei Gruzinov

摘要:

有人提出,存在一类称为弱磁层星的磁层星,其大尺度磁层以及由此产生的伽马射线发射与等离子体产生的详细模式无关。弱脉冲星的磁层和它的伽马射线辐射是由三个参数唯一决定的:自旋、偶极子和自旋-偶极子角。我们计算这个所谓的独特的脉冲星磁层的轴对称的情况下。磁层被发现非常接近(尽管有趣的是不完全相同)我们以前计算的磁层,解释了旧计算的现象学成功。我们只提供一个非常试探性的证明这个“脉冲星无毛定理”。我们的分析,虽然令人信服的非平凡,是不完整的,只算作一个可行性的论点。我们的数字,虽然完整,是可疑的。弱脉冲星磁层中的等离子体流比我们之前提出的更为复杂:一些粒子在恒星附近产生后,会移动到光柱之外,然后返回恒星。

英文摘要:

It is proposed that there exists a class of pulsars, called weak pulsars, for which the large-scale magnetosphere, and hence the gamma-ray emission, are independent of the detailed pattern of plasma production. The weak pulsar magnetosphere and its gamma-ray emission are uniquely determined by just three parameters: spin, dipole, and the spin-dipole angle. We calculate this supposedly unique pulsar magnetosphere in the axisymmetric case. The magnetosphere is found to be very close to (although interestingly not fully identical with) the magnetosphere we have previously calculated, explaining the phenomenological success of the old calculation. We offer only a highly tentative proof of this "Pulsar No-Hair Theorem". Our analytics, while convincing in its non-triviality, is incomplete, and counts only as a plausibility argument. Our numerics, while complete, is dubious. The plasma flow in the weak pulsar magnetosphere turns out to be even more intricate than what we have previously proposed: some particles, after being created near the star, move beyond the light cylinder and then return to the star.
