S. K. Lander

AI总结:

本文提出首个研究年轻中子星迈斯纳效应影响宏观磁场的模型,揭示了磁场排出通过流体运动与磁重联实现,并发现完全排出仅为四种可能情形之一,同时阐明了磁重联释放能量与磁场强度的条件。

摘要:

我们提出了首个旨在理解年轻中子星中的迈斯纳效应如何影响其宏观磁场演化的模型。在该模型中,磁场排出发生在动力学时间尺度上,并通过在超导性出现时发生的两个过程来实现:导致磁力线拖曳的流体运动,以及随后的磁重联。聚焦于低于超导临界强度的磁场,我们展示了完全迈斯纳排出仅是磁场几何结构的四种可能普遍情形之一,且永远无法将磁通量从中子星中心排出。磁重联导致在超导性出现时释放高达约 $5\times 10^{46}\\,\mathrm{erg}$ 的能量,这仅在特定的有利早期动力学阶段以及预凝聚磁场满足 $10^{12}\\,\mathrm{G}\lesssim B\lesssim 5\times 10^{14}\\,\mathrm{G}$ 时才可能发生。预测表明,弱于或强于此范围的磁场将穿透整个恒星。

英文摘要:

We present the first model aimed at understanding how the Meissner effect in a young neutron star affects its macroscopic magnetic field. In this model, field expulsion occurs on a dynamical timescale, and is realised through two processes that occur at the onset of superconductivity: fluid motions causing the dragging of field lines, followed by magnetic reconnection. Focussing on magnetic fields weaker than the superconducting critical field, we show that complete Meissner expulsion is but one of four possible generic scenarios for the magnetic-field geometry, and can never expel magnetic flux from the centre of the star. Reconnection causes the release of up to $\sim 5\times 10^{46}\,\mathrm{erg}$ of energy at the onset of superconductivity, and is only possible for certain favourable early-phase dynamics and for pre-condensation fields $10^{12}\,\mathrm{G}\lesssim B\lesssim 5\times 10^{14}\,\mathrm{G}$. Fields weaker or stronger than this are predicted to thread the whole star.
