对放电的电场屏蔽和脉冲星射电辐射的产生

Electric field screening in pair discharges and generation of pulsar radio emission

Elizabeth A. Tolman, Alexander A. Philippov, Andrey N. Timokhin

摘要:

脉冲星射电辐射可能是在成对放电中产生的,当加速电场被新产生的成对放电屏蔽时,脉冲星磁层充满了等离子体。在这封信中,我们开发了一个简化的分析理论,这些对放电的电场的屏蔽,并使用它来估计总的无线电光度和频谱。放电有三个阶段。首先,电场第一次被屏蔽并开始振荡。接下来,出现非线性阶段。在这一阶段,电场的振幅经历了强烈的阻尼,因为电场显著地改变了新产生的电子对的动量。当电场不再能显著改变对动量时,这种强阻尼停止,系统进入最终的线性阶段。应用于双星,这个理论可以解释射电辐射的几个方面,包括观测到的光度$L_{\rm{rad}} \sim 10^{28} \rm{erg} \, \rm{s}^{-1}$和观测到的光谱$S_ω\sim ω^{-1.4 \pm 1.0} $。

英文摘要:

Pulsar radio emission may be generated in pair discharges which fill the pulsar magnetosphere with plasma as an accelerating electric field is screened by freshly created pairs. In this Letter we develop a simplified analytic theory for the screening of the electric field in these pair discharges and use it to estimate total radio luminosity and spectrum. The discharge has three stages. First, the electric field is screened for the first time and starts to oscillate. Next, a nonlinear phase occurs. In this phase, the amplitude of the electric field experiences strong damping because the field dramatically changes the momenta of newly created pairs. This strong damping ceases, and the system enters a final linear phase, when the electric field can no longer dramatically change pair momenta. Applied to pulsars, this theory may explain several aspects of radio emission, including the observed luminosity, $L_{\rm{rad}} \sim 10^{28} \rm{erg} \, \rm{s}^{-1}$, and the observed spectrum, $S_ω\sim ω^{-1.4 \pm 1.0} $.
