费米加速在控制之下:$η$船底座

Fermi acceleration under control: $η$ Carinae

Roland Walter, Matteo Balbo, Christos Panagiotou

摘要:

我们使用的数据从费米大面积望远镜在过去的7年中获得,跨越两个通道的$η$船底座在近星点,并将它们与流体动力学模拟粒子加速的预测。可以区分两种排放成分。低能分量在10 GeV以下截止,其通量受轨道运动调制,变化系数小于2。短时间的变化发生在近星点。在两个近星点期间,高能量分量的通量变化3-4倍,但不同。假设表面磁场在0.4-1 kG的范围内,在低能量下观察到的变化,包括它们的一些细节,以及在高能量下观察到的变化,确实与模拟的预测相匹配。第二近星点附近的高能成分和热X射线发射比预期的要弱,这表明内风碰撞区的风密度发生了变化。在$η$船底座风碰撞区的复杂几何形状中的扩散激波加速提供了与观测和新的诊断工具令人信服的匹配,以探测系统的几何形状和能量学。

英文摘要:

We used data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope obtained during the last 7 years and spanning two passages of $η$ Carinae at periastron and compared them with the predictions of particle acceleration in hydrodynamic simulations. Two emission components can be distinguished. The low-energy component cuts off below 10 GeV and its flux, modulated by the orbital motion, varies by a factor less than 2. Short-term variability occurs at periastron. The flux of the high energy component varies by a factor 3-4 but differently during the two periastrons. The variabilities observed at low-energy, including some details of them, and these observed at high-energy during the first half of the observations, do match the prediction of the simulation, assuming a surface magnetic field in the range 0.4-1 kG. The high-energy component and the thermal X-ray emission were weaker than expected around the second periastron suggesting a modification of the wind density in the inner wind collision zone. Diffuse shock acceleration in the complex geometry of the wind collision zone of $η$ Carinae provides a convincing match to the observations and new diagnostic tools to probe the geometry and energetics of the system.
