天体物理等离子体中的光电离和电子-离子复合

Photoionization and electron-ion recombination in astrophysical plasmas

D. John Hillier

摘要:

光电离及其逆过程,电子-离子复合,是影响许多天体物理等离子体(和气体)的关键过程,也是我们用来分析等离子体的诊断方法。在这篇综述中,我们提供了一个简短的概述的重要性,光电离和复合在天体物理学。我们强调了光谱分析所需的数据和所需的准确度在不同的天体物理环境中有很大差异。然后,我们讨论光电离过程,突出共振在其横截面。接下来,我们讨论辐射复合,低温和高温双电子复合。讨论了由于辐射场和高密度对低温双电子复合(LTDR)和高温双电子复合(HTDR)的可能抑制。最后,我们讨论了几个天体物理的例子,以突出光电离和复合过程。

英文摘要:

Photoionization and its inverse, electron-ion recombination, are key processes that influence many astrophysical plasmas (and gasses), and the diagnostics that we use to analyse the plasmas. In this review we provide a brief overview of the importance of photoionization and recombination in astrophysics. We highlight how the data needed for spectral analyses, and the required accuracy, varies considerably in different astrophysical environments. We then discuss photoionization processes, highlighting resonances in their cross-sections. Next we discuss radiative recombination, and low and high temperature dielectronic recombination. The possible suppression of low temperature dielectronic recombination (LTDR) and high temperature dielectronic recombination (HTDR) due to the radiation field and high densities is discussed. Finally we discuss a few astrophysical examples to highlight photoionization and recombination processes.
