大质量年轻星体喷流中的粒子加速和磁场放大

Particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in massive young stellar object jets

Anabella Araudo, Marco Padovani, Alexandre Marcowith

摘要:

据报道,由大质量原恒星提供动力的非相对论性喷流的同步辐射表明存在相对论性电子和强度约为0.3-5 mG的磁场。我们研究了速度在300 ~ 1500 km/s的原恒星喷流中的扩散激波加速和磁场放大。我们发现同步辐射源中的磁场可以被宇宙线流激发的非共振混合(Bell)不稳定性放大。结合贝尔不稳定性的基本理论,估算了同步辐射源的磁场和质子的最大能量。质子可以在0.04-0.65 TeV的范围内获得最大能量,并在与物质场的相互作用中发射伽马射线。我们预测IRAS 16547-5247和IRAS 16848-4603中的伽马射线的可检测水平。由于Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性,气体混合可以显著增强γ射线通量。费米卫星在GeV范围内探测到这种辐射,而切伦科夫望远镜阵列即将在更高的能量下探测到这种辐射,这可能为研究大质量恒星的形成以及速度约为1000公里/秒的激波中的扩散加速和磁场放大打开一个新的窗口。

英文摘要:

Synchrotron radio emission from non-relativistic jets powered by massive protostars has been reported, indicating the presence of relativistic electrons and magnetic fields of strength ~0.3-5 mG. We study diffusive shock acceleration and magnetic field amplification in protostellar jets with speeds between 300 and 1500 km/s. We show that the magnetic field in the synchrotron emitter can be amplified by the non-resonant hybrid (Bell) instability excited by the cosmic-ray streaming. By combining the synchrotron data with basic theory of Bell instability we estimate the magnetic field in the synchrotron emitter and the maximum energy of protons. Protons can achieve maximum energies in the range 0.04-0.65 TeV and emit gamma rays in their interaction with matter fields. We predict detectable levels of gamma rays in IRAS 16547-5247 and IRAS 16848-4603. The gamma ray flux can be significantly enhanced by the gas mixing due to Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The detection of this radiation by the Fermi satellite in the GeV domain and the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array at higher energies may open a new window to study the formation of massive stars, as well as diffusive acceleration and magnetic field amplification in shocks with velocities of about 1000 km/s.
