低等离子体- $β$太阳风条件下磁层顶重联流出的软X射线成像

Soft X-Ray Imaging of Magnetopause Reconnection Outflows Under Low Plasma-$β$ Solar Wind Conditions

Yosuke Matsumoto, Yoshizumi Miyoshi

摘要:

利用全球磁流体动力学模拟模型研究了地球磁层周围太阳风电荷交换过程的软X射线辐射。向阳面的磁层顶重联加热并加速了等离子体,从而使X射线发射变得像南行星际磁场条件下的$\sim 6 \times 10^{-6} {\rm\ eV}\ {\rm cm}^{-3}\ {\rm s}^{-1}$一样明亮。特别是,在低等离子体$β$太阳风条件下,我们发现,X射线强度反映了从重联区流出的批量运动。我们建议,这种特殊的太阳风条件将允许可视化的中尺度磁层顶重联网站,在日华观察。

英文摘要:

We examined soft X-ray emission by the solar wind charge-exchange process around the Earth's magnetosphere using a global magnetohydrodynamic simulation model. The dayside magnetopause reconnection heats and accelerates the plasma whereby the X-ray emission becomes as bright as $\sim 6 \times 10^{-6} {\rm\ eV}\ {\rm cm}^{-3}\ {\rm s}^{-1}$ under the southward interplanetary magnetic field conditions. In particular, under low plasma-$β$ solar wind conditions, we found that the X-ray intensity reflects the bulk motion of outflows from the reconnection region. We propose that this particular solar wind condition would allow visualization of the mesoscale magnetopause reconnection site, as observed in the solar corona.
