英文摘要：

A new generation mechanism of the magnetic field in an inhomogeneous collisionless plasma with a beam component is proposed. We show that even though the current and charge neutralities are initially satisfied, the current neutrality is eventually violated if there is an inhomogeneity, so that the magnetic field is generated. By conducting ab initio two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we demonstrate that the magnetic field is generated as expected. The new generation mechanism of the magnetic field can play an important role in the current universe because cosmic rays can be regarded as the beam component in the astrophysical plasma. We propose that the first cosmic rays generate the magnetic field with a large scale at the redshift of z ~ 20.

The Biermann battery driven by a streaming plasma

The Biermann battery is a promising generation mechanism of a seed magnetic field in the universe. We propose a new driving mechanism for the Biermann battery in an inhomogeneous plasma with a beam component. An inhomogeneous electron flow induced by the return current can make an electron pressure gradient which is not parallel to the density gradient. As a result, the magnetic field is generated by the Biermann battery. We demonstrate the new generation mechanism of the magnetic field by conducting three-fluid plasma simulations. By this mechanism, the first cosmic rays can generate the seed…

宇宙黎明时电阻性磁场的产生

Resistive Magnetic Field Generation at Cosmic Dawn

第一代大质量恒星的超新星爆炸产生的相对论性带电粒子（CR为宇宙射线）是宇宙再电离的原因，它们携带电流逃逸到星系际介质中。电荷不平衡和感应引起返回电流$\vec j_t$，其由倾向于抵消CR电流的冷热等离子体携带。吸引碰撞返回电流所需的电场$\vec E=η\vec j_t$与低能宇宙射线的流出相反，并以欧姆方式加热冷等离子体。由于星系际等离子体的温度结构$T$引起的电阻率$η(T)$的不均匀性，电场具有维持法拉第感应的旋转分量。结果表明，在星系际空间中，磁场以10 $^{-17}-10^{-16}$高斯/陀螺的速率产生，直到星系际介质的温度因宇宙再电离而升高。该磁场可能为星系际环境中磁场的后续生长播下种子。

Magnetic field generation by charge exchange in a supernova remnant in the early universe

We present new generation mechanisms of magnetic fields in supernova remnant shocks propagating to partially ionized plasmas in the early universe. Upstream plasmas are dissipated at the collisionless shock, but hydrogen atoms are not dissipated because they do not interact with electromagnetic fields. After the hydrogen atoms are ionized in the shock downstream region, they become cold proton beams that induce the electron return current. The injection of the beam protons can be interpreted as an external force acting on the downstream proton plasma. We show that the effective external force …

Self-discharge by streaming cosmic rays

A new nonthermal phenomenon caused by streaming cosmic rays (CRs) in the universe is proposed. The streaming CRs drive the return current of thermal electrons to compensate for the CR current. Then, electric fields are induced by the resistivity of the return current. It is shown that the resistive electric fields can accelerate secondary electrons generated by the streaming CRs. This is the self-discharge by streaming CRs. In this work, the self-discharge condition and the condition for runaway acceleration of secondary electrons are presented. The self-discharge makes high-energy secondary e…

均匀和非均匀黑洞吸积冕产生X射线时滞和静态谱的综合模型

An Integrated Model for the Production of X-Ray Time Lags and Quiescent Spectra from Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Black Hole Accretion Coronae

许多吸积的黑洞在爆发期间表现出时间滞后，其中硬傅立叶分量通常滞后于软分量。尽管对这一现象的观测已经进行了几十年，但对时间滞后的潜在物理解释仍然难以捉摸，尽管有人认为康普顿混响起着重要作用。然而，由于缺乏分析解决办法，妨碍了对现有数据的解释。在本文中，我们研究了产生的X射线时间滞后的康普顿散射日冕使用一种新的数学方法的基础上分析的傅立叶变换输运方程。通过求解这个方程，我们得到的辐射格林函数的傅里叶变换，这使我们能够计算的精确依赖的时间滞后的傅里叶频率，均匀和不均匀的日冕云。我们使用新的形式主义，探索各种注入方案，包括单色和宽带（韧致辐射）种子光子注入。我们发现，我们的模型可以成功地再现观测到的时间滞后和时间平均（静态）的X射线光谱Cyg~X-1和GX~339-04，使用一套单一的日冕参数为每个源。时间滞后是脉冲韧致辐射注入发生在日冕外缘附近的结果，而时间平均光谱是软光子在整个云中连续分布注入的结果。
