在磁重联中三维输运在驱动增强电子加速中的作用

摘要:

磁重联是许多天体物理现象中高能粒子的重要驱动力。使用动力学粒子在细胞(PIC)模拟,我们探讨了三维重联动力学的粒子加速效率的影响。在二维系统中,Alfvénic流出将高能电子驱逐到通量绳中,在那里它们被捕获并与加速区域断开。然而,在三维系统中,这些通量绳发展出轴向结构,使粒子能够泄漏并返回加速区域。这需要一个有限的引导场,以便粒子可以沿着磁通绳轴快速移动。我们发现,最大的高能电子生产时发生的引导场是相同的顺序作为重连组件:大到足以促进强运输,但没有那么大,以节流占主导地位的费米机制负责有效的电子加速。这表明一个自然的解释信封电子加速在脉冲阶段的爆发耀斑。

英文摘要:

Magnetic reconnection is an important driver of energetic particles in many astrophysical phenomena. Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we explore the impact of three-dimensional reconnection dynamics on the efficiency of particle acceleration. In two-dimensional systems, Alfvénic outflows expel energetic electrons into flux ropes where they become trapped and disconnected from acceleration regions. However, in three-dimensional systems these flux ropes develop axial structure that enables particles to leak out and return to acceleration regions. This requires a finite guide field so that particles may move quickly along the flux rope axis. We show that greatest energetic electron production occurs when the guide field is of the same order as the reconnecting component: large enough to facilitate strong transport, but not so large as to throttle the dominant Fermi mechanism responsible for efficient electron acceleration. This suggests a natural explanation for the envelope of electron acceleration during the impulsive phase of eruptive flares.
