观测到的尘埃星系前景的E/B比是否可以用亚阿尔文turbulence来解释?

Can the observed E/B ratio for dust galactic foreground be explained by sub-Alfvenic turbulence?

D. Kandel, A. Lazarian, D. Pogosyan

摘要:

最近的普朗克观测表明,$E$模式的能量是$B$模式的两倍。Caldwell et.等人已经在磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流的背景下制定了理论模型,并且发现解释该结果是有问题的。特别是,他们得出的结论是,有一个非常狭窄的范围内的理论参数,可以解释观察。这就提出了一个问题,即人们所接受的对MHD湍流的描述是否适用于星际介质。我们重新讨论了这个问题,并证明了对应于阿尔文马赫数的高银河纬度范围的MHD湍流,即$M_A\lesssim 0.5$,可以成功地解释$E$到$B$模式比的现有结果。

英文摘要:

Recent Planck observations of dust polarization in the Galaxy have revealed that the power in $E$ mode is twice that in $B$ mode. Caldwell et. al. have formulated a theoretical model in the context of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and found it problematic to account for this result. In particular, they concluded that there is a very narrow range of theoretical parameters that could account for the observation. This poses a problem of whether the accepted description of MHD turbulence can apply to the interstellar medium. We revisit the problem and demonstrate that MHD turbulence corresponding to the high galactic latitudes range of Alfvén Mach numbers, i.e. $M_A\lesssim 0.5$, can successfully explain the available results for the $E$ to $B$ mode ratio.
