时间上的太阳风环境

The Solar Wind Environment in Time

Quentin Pognan, Cecilia Garraffo, Ofer Cohen, Jeremy J. Drake

摘要:

我们利用从Zeeman Doppler Imaging(ZDI)获得的8个年龄在3000万年到3.6亿年之间的太阳类似物的磁象图和两个太阳磁象图,驱动磁流体动力学(MHD)风模拟,构建了太阳风环境及其角动量损失率的演化情景。将观测到的径向场强磁图作为风模型中的唯一变量,我们发现,拟合到推导出的角动量损失率随时间变化的幂律模型$t$,导致角速度$Ω$的自旋下降关系$Ω\propto t^{-0.51}$,这与Skumanich定律非常一致成熟的$Ω\propto t^{-0.5}$。我们使用模型的风条件来估计磁层的对峙距离的类地测试行星位于1~AU的每一个恒星的情况下,并获得的最小和最大的风冲压压力和平均冲压压力在太阳系的时间趋势。风冲压压力随着时间的推移下降为$\overline{P_{ram}}\propto t^{2/3}$,在太阳系目前的寿命中达到50倍左右。

英文摘要:

We use magnetograms of 8 solar analogues of ages 30~Myr to 3.6~Gyr obtained from Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI) and taken from the literature, together with two solar magnetograms, to drive magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) wind simulations and construct an evolutionary scenario of the solar wind environment and its angular momentum loss rate. With observed magnetograms of the radial field strength as the only variant in the wind model, we find that power law model fitted to the derived angular momentum loss rate against time, $t$, results in a spin down relation $Ω\propto t^{-0.51}$, for angular speed $Ω$, which is remarkably consistent with the well-established Skumanich law $Ω\propto t^{-0.5}$. We use the model wind conditions to estimate the magnetospheric standoff distances for an Earth-like test planet situated at 1~AU for each of the stellar cases, and to obtain trends of minimum and maximum wind ram pressure and average ram pressure in the solar system through time. The wind ram pressure declines with time as $\overline{P_{ram}}\propto t^{2/3}$, amounting to a factor of 50 or so over the present lifetime of the solar system.
