关于远红外和亚毫米波圆偏振

On Far-Infrared and Submm Circular Polarization

B. T. Draine

AI总结:

本文研究了星际尘埃排列导致的远红外和亚毫米波圆偏振现象,指出其在红外暗云和原行星盘中可达可探测水平,有助于约束磁场结构和揭示颗粒排列机制。

摘要:

星际尘埃颗粒通常是排列的。如果颗粒排列方向沿视线变化,其热辐射就会变成圆偏振。在弥漫星际介质中,预测远红外和亚毫米波波段的圆偏振非常小,可能无法测量。然而,在红外暗云和原行星盘中,圆偏振可能达到可探测水平。测量圆偏振有助于约束红外暗云中的磁场结构,并可能阐明原行星盘中颗粒排列的机制。

英文摘要:

Interstellar dust grains are often aligned. If the grain alignment direction varies along the line of sight, the thermal emission becomes circularly-polarized. In the diffuse interstellar medium, the circular polarization at far-infrared and submm wavelengths is predicted to be very small, and probably unmeasurable. However, circular polarization may reach detectable levels in infrared dark clouds and protoplanetary disks. Measurement of circular polarization could help constrain the structure of the magnetic field in infrared dark clouds, and may shed light on the mechanisms responsible for grain alignment in protoplanetary disks.
