外太阳风中星际拾取离子驱动的Turbulence

Turbulence Driving by Interstellar Pickup Ions in the Outer Solar Wind

Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Charles W. Smith

摘要:

我们重新审视的问题,如何不稳定的散射的星际拾取离子(PUI)可能会驱动外部太阳风的湍流,以及为什么这种散射释放到波动的能量似乎显着低于标准的双球面预测。我们认为,在散射过程中的环境湍流的新拿起的离子的散射可以导致在一个更球形的分布的PUI,并减少产生的波动能量的水平与湍流强度和核心太阳风加热的观察一致。这种情况意味着一个自我调节机制的运作,保持在PUI主导的太阳风的湍流和加热的观察条件。

英文摘要:

We revisit the question of how the unstable scattering of interstellar pickup ions (PUIs) may drive turbulence in the outer solar wind, and why the energy released into fluctuations by this scattering appears to be significantly less than the standard bispherical prediction. We suggest that energization of the newly picked-up ions by the ambient turbulence during the scattering process can result in a more spherical distribution of PUIs, and reduce the generated fluctuation energy to a level consistent with the observations of turbulent intensities and core solar wind heating. This scenario implies the operation of a self-regulation mechanism that maintains the observed conditions of turbulence and heating in the PUI-dominated solar wind.
