Joonas Herranen, A. Lazarian, Thiem Hoang

摘要:

我们研究了不规则晶粒系综的辐射力矩(RAT)的晶粒排列效率。颗粒被建模为集合体的扁长椭球体,变形为高斯随机椭球体,和他们的散射相互作用,使用数值精确的方法来解决。我们定义的分数的晶粒,既快速旋转,并表现出完美的对齐与晶粒长轴垂直的磁场。我们表明,对于典型的星际条件下,从RAT机制所产生的对齐程度是显着大于所产生的戴维斯-格林斯坦(DG)机制的基础上顺磁弛豫。我们量化的对齐的功效相关的因素,并表明它是相关的$q_\mathrm{max}$ -因素的分析模型(AMO)的RAT理论。我们的研究结果表明,RAT对齐可能是足够强大的,即使晶粒没有磁性夹杂物解释观察。

英文摘要:

We study the efficiency of grain alignment by radiative torques (RATs) for an ensemble of irregular grains. The grains are modeled as ensembles of oblate and prolate spheroids, deformed as Gaussian random ellipsoids, and their scattering interactions are solved using numerically exact methods. We define the fraction of the grains that both rotate fast and demonstrate perfect alignment with grain long axes perpendicular to the magnetic field. We demonstrate that for typical interstellar conditions the degree of alignment arising from the RAT mechanism is significantly larger than that arising from the Davis-Greenstein (DG) mechanism based on paramagnetic relaxation. We quantify a factor related to the efficacy of alignment and show that it is related to a $q_\mathrm{max}$-factor of analytical model (AMO) of the RAT theory. Our results indicate that the RAT alignment can potentially be sufficiently strong and to explain observations even if grains do not have magnetic inclusions.
