在磁主导的阿尔文湍流中，相对论性粒子的各向异性演化是控制高能天体物理环境中非热辐射的基本过程。在本工作中，我们通过推导表征轻子和光子在弱辐射冷却与强辐射冷却两种状态下俯仰角动力学的标度方程，建立了一个理论框架。我们的模型揭示了粒子能量与角分布之间的普遍耦合，这种耦合源于沿磁场方向的加速、垂直漂移运动以及辐射反作用之间的相互作用。该模型能够唯一地识别出“转折点能量”，这些能量对局部磁场和能量注入尺度表现出非线性依赖。该标度模型的有效性通过辐射粒子网格模拟得到证实。我们表明，电子俯仰角分布从根本上决定了光子发射特性，进一步揭示了高能光子发射与重联区域中湍流涡旋之间的显著统计相关性。通过弥合小尺度动力学相互作用与宽带光谱特征之间的差距，这项工作为解释脉冲星风云和伽马射线暴等源中辐射光谱的硬化及复杂偏振特征提供了定量基础。
英文摘要
The anisotropic evolution of relativistic particles in magnetically dominated Alfvénic turbulence is a fundamental process governing nonthermal emissions in high-energy astrophysical environments. In this work, we develop a theoretical framework by deriving scaling equations that characterize the pitch-angle dynamics of leptons and photons across both weak- and strong-radiative cooling regimes. Our model reveals a universal coupling between particle energy and angular distribution, arising from the interplay of field-aligned accelerations, perpendicular drift motions, and radiation reactions. The model can uniquely identify ``turning-point energies" that exhibit a nonlinear dependence on the local magnetic field and the energy-injection scale. The validity of this scaling model is confirmed through radiative particle-in-cell simulations. We show that the electron pitch-angle distribution fundamentally dictates photon emission characteristics, further revealing a pronounced statistical correlation between high-energy photon emission and turbulent vortices in the reconnection regions. By bridging the gap between small-scale kinetic interactions and broad-band spectral characteristics, this work provides a quantitative basis for interpreting the hardening of radiation spectra and complex polarization signatures in sources such as pulsar wind nebulae and gamma-ray bursts.
