摘要:

本文对观测到的几MeV到1 TeV的银河宇宙线电子能谱进行了拟合。旅行者号从太阳层顶以外5-60兆电子伏获得的新数据与地球轨道上PAMELA、FERMI和AMS-2仪器的高能数据一起使用。使用Monte Carlo扩散模型的银河系传播,我们得到一个源的刚性谱的光谱指数=-2.25独立的能量低于10 GeV,可能陡峭的10 GeV以上的2.40在最高的能量。该光谱将在低能量和高能量下将超过5个数量级的电子数据拟合到± 10%以内。电子源光谱的这种陡峭化可以是加速过程的重要特征,例如,加速过程中的同步加速器损失会使源光谱变陡。该拟合仅需要在约1.0 GV处扩散系数的刚性依赖性中的~1.0幂指数的单个中断。计算还预测了垂直于银盘的电子分布。该星系确实充当能量范围为0.1-10 GeV的电子的热量计,其中约80%的电子被捕获。在更高的能量下,电子迅速地逃离星系盘。在能量约为1 TEV时,电子在银河系赤道附近的起源处不到0.5 Kpc的范围内通过同步加速器和逆康普顿辐射释放了大部分能量。在能量< 0.1 GeV时,由于扩散系数的增加低于~1 GV,并且没有其他显著的损失过程,电子逃逸并形成难以检测但重要的星系晕群。

英文摘要:

In this paper we fit the observed galactic cosmic ray electron spectrum from a few MeV to 1 TeV. New data from Voyager from 5-60 MeV beyond the heliopause is used along with high energy data from the PAMELA, FERMI and AMS-2 instruments in Earth orbit. Using a Monte Carlo diffusion model for galactic propagation we obtain a source rigidity spectrum with a spectral index =-2.25 independent of energy below 10 GeV, possibly steepening above 10 GeV to 2.40 at the highest energies. This spectrum will fit the electron data over 5 orders of magnitude to within + 10% at both low and high energies. This steepening of the electron source spectrum could be an important feature of the acceleration process, e.g., synchrotron loss during acceleration could steepen the source spectrum. This fit requires only a single break in the rigidity dependence of the diffusion coefficient by ~1.0 power in the exponent at about 1.0 GV. The calculations also predict the distribution of electrons perpendicular to the galactic disk. The galaxy does act as a calorimeter for electrons in the energy range 0.1-10 GeV where ~80% of the electrons are trapped. At higher energies the electrons escape the galactic disk rapidly. At energies ~1 TEV the electrons loose most of their energy by synchrotron and inverse Compton emission within < 0.5 Kpc of their origin near the galactic equator. At energies < 0.1 GeV, because of the increase in the diffusion coefficient below ~1 GV, and the absence of other significant loss processes, the electrons escape and form a difficult to detect, but important galactic halo population.
