摘要:

通过对同步辐射强度的空间两点关联函数的分析,可以得到超新星遗迹中磁能的谱斜率。这种方法最初是为分析扩散星际介质中的磁场结构而发展起来的,并且在发射区的几何形状简单且已知时应用。在本文中,应用这种相关分析第谷的SNR,同步辐射区是已知的球壳,我们发现,磁能谱显示柯尔莫哥洛夫样标度。我们的结果可以解释湍流下游的冲击波阵面通过Richtmyer-Meshkov不稳定性或放大上游磁场诱导的宇宙射线。它们可以通过未来的观测与亚角秒分辨率,如平方公里阵列。

英文摘要:

The spectral slope of the magnetic energy in supernova remnants (SNRs) can be obtained by analysis of spatial two-point correlation functions of synchrotron intensities. This method has been originally developed for the analysis of magnetic field structure in diffuse interstellar medium and applied when the geometry of the emission region is simple and known. In this paper, applying this correlation analysis to Tycho's SNR, for which the synchrotron emission region is known to be a spherical shell, we find that the magnetic energy spectrum shows the Kolmogorov-like scaling. Our results can be explained by turbulence developed downstream of the shock front via Richtmyer-Meshkov instability or an amplification of upstream magnetic field induced by cosmic rays. They could be discriminated by future observations with a sub arcsecond resolution such as Square Kilometer Array.
