Kerr黑洞饥饿磁层对放电的粒子模拟

Particle-in-cell simulations of pair discharges in a starved magnetosphere of a Kerr black hole

Amir Levinson, Benoît Cerutti

摘要:

我们调查的动力学和排放的饥饿磁层区域(间隙)形成在附近的克尔黑洞视界,使用一个新的,完全广义相对论粒子在细胞的代码,实现蒙特卡罗方法计算伽马射线发射和对生产通过相互作用的对和伽马射线与软光子发射的吸积流。据发现,当汤姆逊长度与磁盘光子碰撞超过间隙宽度,筛选的间隙发生通过低振幅,快速等离子体振荡,产生自我维持的对级联,准静止对和伽马射线光谱,并与对多重性,对生产不透明度成比例增加。从能隙中发射出的伽马射线谱在TeV波段达到峰值,总光度约为相应的布兰德福德-茨纳杰克功率的$10^{-5}$的一部分。这个阶段之前是一个持续时间为$\sim r_g/c$的瞬时放电阶段,在此期间,最初存储在间隙中的势能作为曲率TeV光子的耀斑释放。我们推测在M87中观察到的TeV辐射可能是由火花隙中的对放电产生的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dynamics and emission of a starved magnetospheric region (gap) formed in the vicinity of a Kerr black hole horizon, using a new, fully general relativistic particle-in-cell code that implements Monte Carlo methods to compute gamma-ray emission and pair production through the interaction of pairs and gamma rays with soft photons emitted by the accretion flow. It is found that when the Thomson length for collision with disk photons exceeds the gap width, screening of the gap occurs through low-amplitude, rapid plasma oscillations that produce self-sustained pair cascades, with quasi-stationary pair and gamma-ray spectra, and with a pair multiplicity that increases in proportion to the pair production opacity. The gamma-ray spectrum emitted from the gap peaks in the TeV band, with a total luminosity that constitutes a fraction of about $10^{-5}$ of the corresponding Blandford-Znajek power. This stage is preceded by a prompt discharge phase of duration $\sim r_g/c$, during which the potential energy initially stored in the gap is released as a flare of curvature TeV photons. We speculate that the TeV emission observed in M87 may be produced by pair discharges in a spark gap.
