探索电子回旋脉泽辐射恒星中传播效应的三维框架

A 3D framework to explore the propagation effects in stars exhibiting electron cyclotron maser emission

Barnali Das, Surajit Mondal, Poonam Chandra

摘要:

近年来,人们在一些热磁星上发现了通过电子回旋脉泽辐射(ECME)过程产生的相干射电辐射。这种发射以高度圆偏振脉冲的形式观察到,具有有趣的特性,其中包含有关宿主恒星的信息。ECME的一个重要特性是脉冲到达时间的频率依赖性。Trigilio等人(2011)将其归因于传播效应,并可定性解释CU Vir观察到的序列(Lo等人,2012)。然而,没有定量的处理存在的现象,这是一个有前途的工具,估计在恒星磁层的密度。此外,通过磁层传播对ECME的影响被认为仅限于产生特定的脉冲到达序列,并且在某些情况下产生ECME的上限截止频率(Leto等人,2019)。在这里,我们提出了一个框架来处理的传播效应,考虑连续折射内磁层的恒星。这个框架能够包含任何类型的密度分布,并且原则上包含任何类型的磁场,尽管我们将自己限制为偶极磁场。我们通过模拟表明,对于具有高磁层的恒星,传播效应不仅会影响脉冲的到达顺序,而且会影响脉冲的形状,以及来自特定磁层的脉冲的可观测性。

英文摘要:

Recently, coherent radio emission has been discovered from a number of hot magnetic stars, via the process of electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME). This emission, observed in the form of highly circularly polarized pulses, have interesting properties which contain information about the host star. One of the important properties of ECME is the frequency dependence of the pulse arrival time. This has been attributed to propagation effect by Trigilio et al. (2011), and could explain the sequence observed for CU Vir qualitatively (Lo et al. 2012). However no quantitative treatment exists for this phenomenon which is a promising tool to estimate the density in the stellar magnetosphere. Besides, the effect of propagation through the magnetosphere on ECME has been thought to be limited to giving rise to a particular sequence of arrival of pulses, and in some cases producing the upper cut-off frequency for ECME (Leto et al. 2019). Here, we present a framework to deal with the propagation effect by considering continuous refraction in the inner magnetosphere of the star. This framework is capable of incorporating any type of density distribution, and in principle any type of magnetic field, though we limit ourselves to a dipolar magnetic field for this work. We show by simulation that for stars with high obliquity, the propagation effect can influence not only the sequence of arrival of pulses drastically, but also the pulse shapes, and the observability of a pulse from a particular magnetosphere.
