具有修正的扩散冲击加速度的陡Cosmic Ray谱

Steep Cosmic Ray Spectra with Revised Diffusive Shock Acceleration

Rebecca Diesing, Damiano Caprioli

摘要:

银河系宇宙射线在超新星遗迹的正激波处通过扩散激波加速(DSA)得到加速,这是一种有效的加速机制,预测了宇宙射线能量的幂律分布。然而,非热SNR发射的观测结果意味着CR能量分布通常比标准DSA预测$E^{-2}$更陡。动力学混合动力模拟的最新结果表明,这种陡峭的光谱可能会出现从漂移的磁结构相对于下游的热等离子体的冲击。使用半解析模型的非线性DSA,我们调查的影响,这些结果的现象学的范围很广的信噪比。通过考虑下游磁结构的运动,我们产生了比$E^{-2}$陡得多的CR能量分布,并且与观测结果一致。我们的形式再现了银河系超新星遗迹($\propto E^{-2.2}$)的适度陡峭的光谱和年轻的射电超新星($\propto E^{-3}$)非常陡峭的光谱。

英文摘要:

Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) are accelerated at the forward shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA), an efficient acceleration mechanism that predicts power-law energy distributions of CRs. However, observations of nonthermal SNR emission imply CR energy distributions that are generally steeper than $E^{-2}$, the standard DSA prediction. Recent results from kinetic hybrid simulations suggest that such steep spectra may arise from the drift of magnetic structures with respect to the thermal plasma downstream of the shock. Using a semi-analytic model of non-linear DSA, we investigate the implications that these results have on the phenomenology of a wide range of SNRs. By accounting for the motion of magnetic structures in the downstream, we produce CR energy distributions that are substantially steeper than $E^{-2}$ and consistent with observations. Our formalism reproduces both modestly steep spectra of Galactic supernova remnants ($\propto E^{-2.2}$) and the very steep spectra of young radio supernovae ($\propto E^{-3}$).
