通过磁岛/磁绳的磁重联的Cosmic ray加速

Cosmic ray acceleration via magnetic reconnection of magnetic islands/flux-ropes

Anil Raghav, Zubair Shaikh

摘要:

磁岛/磁绳的产生是由磁重联和湍流的动力学过程引起的。原位观测表明,磁岛的合并或/和收缩是负责带电粒子加速(keV至MeV的能量范围)。数值模拟也支持这种加速机制。然而,这里提出的最根本的问题是,这种机制是否有助于宇宙射线加速?为了回答这个问题,我们报告,在现场的磁通绳形成的证据,它们的磁重联和它的表现为宇宙射线(GeV带电粒子)加速行星际对应的日冕物质抛射(ICME)。此外,我们提出,费米机制的宇宙线(高和/或超高能量)加速不仅是有效的,通过随机反射的粒子从激波边界,但也通过边界的收缩磁岛或/和他们的合并通过磁重联。这对宇宙线的起源和加速过程有重要意义。

英文摘要:

The dynamic processes of magnetic reconnection and turbulence cause magnetic islands/flux-ropes generation. The in-situ observations suggest that the coalescence or/and contraction of magnetic islands are responsible to the charged particle acceleration (keV to MeV energy range). Numerical simulations also support this acceleration mechanism. However, the most fundamental question raise here is, does this mechanism contribute to the cosmic rays acceleration? To answer this, we report, in-situ evidence of flux-ropes formation, their magnetic re-connection and its manifestation as cosmic ray (GeV charged particle) acceleration in interplanetary counterpart of coronal mass ejection(ICME). Further, we propose that cosmic ray (high and/or ultra-high energy) acceleration by Fermi mechanism is valid not only through stochastic reflections of particles from the shock boundaries but also through the boundaries of contracting magnetic islands or/and their merging via magnetic re-connection. This has significant implications on cosmic ray origin and their acceleration process.
