金星-太阳风相互作用:不对称性和O+离子逃逸
Venus-Solar Wind Interaction: Asymmetries and the Escape of O+ Ions
摘要:
利用一个全球三维自洽准中性混合(QNH)模式研究了金星与太阳风的相互作用。该模型将离子(H+,O+)视为粒子,将电子视为无质量的电荷中和流体。在所分析的Parker螺旋行星际磁场(IMF)情况下(IMF = [8.09,5.88,0] nT),磁场和等离子体存在显著的南北不对称性,尤其是逃逸行星O+离子的性质。这种不对称性与离子有限回旋半径效应有关。此外,IMF的x分量的结果在黎明黄昏不对称。总体而言,QNH模型被发现再现主要观察到的等离子体和磁场区域(弓形激波,磁鞘,磁势垒和磁尾),这意味着潜在的开发模型研究金星等离子体环境,特别是非热离子逃逸。
英文摘要:
We study the interaction between Venus and the solar wind using a global three-dimensional self-consistent quasi-neutral hybrid (QNH) model. The model treats ions (H+, O+) as particles and electrons as a massless charge neutralising fluid. In the analysed Parker spiral interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) case (IMF = [8.09, 5.88, 0] nT) a notable north-south asymmetry of the magnetic field and plasma exists, especially in the properties of escaping planetary O+ ions. The asymmetry is associated with ion finite gyroradius effects. Furthermore, the IMF x-component results in a dawn-dusk asymmetry. Overall, the QNH model is found to reproduce the main observed plasma and magnetic field regions (the bow shock, the magnetosheath, the magnetic barrier and the magnetotail), implying the potential of the developed model to study the Venusian plasma environment and especially the non-thermal ion escape.
