摘要:

太阳风湍流的各向异性是理解日球层尺度间能量传递和场与粒子间能量转换物理的关键问题。使用\emph{Parker Solar Probe}(\emph{PSP})的测量,我们提出了一个观察的各向异性在动力学尺度上的缓慢,Alfvénic,太阳风的内日球层。\textbf{The magnetic compressibility behaves as expected for kinetic Alfvénic turbulence below the ion scale.}一个陡峭的过渡范围之间的惯性和动力学范围内的所有方向相对于当地的背景磁场方向。发现$k_\perp \gg k_\parallel$的各向异性在过渡区和动力学区都很明显,动力学区的幂次各向异性$P_\perp/P_\parallel > 10$大于过渡区的幂次各向异性,且比1 au的幂次各向异性强.光谱指数在过渡范围内从$α_{t\parallel}=-5.7\pm 1.0$到$α_{t\perp}=-3.7\pm 0.3$变化,在动力学范围内从$α_{k\parallel}=-3.12\pm 0.22$到$α_{k\perp}=-2.57\pm 0.09$变化。相应的波矢各向异性在过渡范围内具有$k_\parallel \sim k_\perp^{0.71\pm 0.17}$的标度,并且在动力学范围内变为$k_\parallel \sim k_\perp^{0.38\pm 0.09}$,与亚离子尺度下的动力学Alfvénic湍流一致。

英文摘要:

The anisotropy of solar wind turbulence is a critical issue in understanding the physics of energy transfer between scales and energy conversion between fields and particles in the heliosphere. Using the measurement of \emph{Parker Solar Probe} (\emph{PSP}), we present an observation of the anisotropy at kinetic scales in the slow, Alfvénic, solar wind in the inner heliosphere. \textbf{The magnetic compressibility behaves as expected for kinetic Alfvénic turbulence below the ion scale.} A steepened transition range is found between the inertial and kinetic ranges in all directions with respect to the local background magnetic field direction. The anisotropy of $k_\perp \gg k_\parallel$ is found evident in both transition and kinetic ranges, with the power anisotropy $P_\perp/P_\parallel > 10$ in the kinetic range leading over that in the transition range and being stronger than that at 1 au. The spectral index varies from $α_{t\parallel}=-5.7\pm 1.0$ to $α_{t\perp}=-3.7\pm 0.3$ in the transition range and $α_{k\parallel}=-3.12\pm 0.22$ to $α_{k\perp}=-2.57\pm 0.09$ in the kinetic range. The corresponding wavevector anisotropy has the scaling of $k_\parallel \sim k_\perp^{0.71\pm 0.17}$ in the transition range, and changes to $k_\parallel \sim k_\perp^{0.38\pm 0.09}$ in the kinetic range, consistent with the kinetic Alfvénic turbulence at sub-ion scales.
