摘要:

本文分析了在内日球层(0.3- 1au)观测到的窄带哨声波特征。这些特征是由Helios 1号航天器上的搜索线圈磁力计测量的交流磁场10-200赫兹频率范围内的谱密度的起伏。我们发现,大多数哨声信号出现在慢太阳风(<500 km/s)中,它们的出现率随着径向距离(R)的增加而增加,从0.3 au时的~3%增加到0.9 au时的~10%。在快太阳风中(>600 km/s),哨声活动显著降低;当R > 0.6 au时,哨声信号开始出现,其数量从0.65 au时的~0.03%增加到0.9 au时的~1%。我们研究了电子核和晕各向异性的变化,以及电子归一化热通量作为R和太阳风速度的函数。我们发现,在慢风的电子核心和晕的各向异性是高于在快的,而且,这些各向异性径向增加,在两种类型的风,这是符合哨声签名的发生。我们假设存在一个反馈机制来解释所观察到的径向变化的发生哨声与晕各向异性。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of narrowband whistler wave signatures observed in the inner heliosphere (0.3-1 au). These signatures are bumps in the spectral density in the 10-200 Hz frequency range of the AC magnetic field as measured by the search coil magnetometer on board the Helios1 spacecraft. We show that the majority of whistler signatures are observed in the slow solar wind (<500 km/s) and their occurrence increases with the radial distance (R), from ~3% at 0.3 au to ~10% at 0.9 au. In the fast solar wind (>600 km/s), whistler activity is significantly lower; whistler signatures start to appear for R > 0.6 au and their number increases from ~0.03% at 0.65 au to ~1% at 0.9 au. We have studied the variation of the electron core and halo anisotropy, as well as the electron normalized heat flux as a function of R and of the solar wind speed. We find that, in the slow wind electron core and halo anisotropy is higher than in fast one, and also that these anisotropies increase radially in both types of winds, which is in line with the occurrence of whistler signatures. We hypothesize the existence of a feedback mechanism to explain the observed radial variations of the occurrence of whistlers in relation with the halo anisotropy.
