法拉第旋转转换测量及其在快速射电暴中的应用

Conversion Measure of Faraday Rotation-Conversion with application to Fast Radio Bursts

Andrei Gruzinov, Yuri Levin

摘要:

法拉第旋转转换是当电磁波传播通过磁化等离子体时所有三个斯托克斯偏振参数$Q$、$U$、$V$的同时旋转。在这种情况下,法拉第等离子体屏的特征不仅仅在于旋转测量。我们定义的转换措施,表征的波长依赖的线和圆偏振之间的转换。在冷等离子体中,转换发生在沿着波的路径的局部区域,其中大尺度磁场垂直于传播方向。沿着通过屏幕的视线的这些区域的数量,以及它们对转换测量的单独贡献,可以从偏振测量中推断出来。我们认为,同时测量波长相关的线性和圆偏振可能会给一个重要的洞察FRB 121102和其他重复的快速射电暴的法拉第屏的磁场几何形状。

英文摘要:

Faraday Rotation-Conversion is the simultaneous rotation of all three Stokes polarization parameters $Q$, $U$, $V$ as an electromagnetic wave propagates through a magnetized plasma. In this regime the Faraday plasma screen is characterized by more than just a Rotation Measure. We define the Conversion Measure that characterizes the wavelength-dependent conversion between the linear and circular polarization. In a cold plasma, the conversion occurs at the localized regions along the wave's path, where the large-scale magnetic field is perpendicular to the propagation direction. The number of these regions along the line of sight through the screen, and their individual contributions to the conversion measure, can be inferred from the polarization measurements. We argue that the simultaneous measurement of wavelength-dependent linear and circular polarization might give an important insight into the magnetic-field geometry of the Faraday screen in FRB121102 and other repeating Fast Radio Bursts.
