The energy and angular distribution of electrons as a function of column densities initially for monoenergetic and monodirectional
electron beams and incidence angles of 0‡, 30‡ and 60‡ have been studied by combining small angle scattering using analytical
treatment with large angle collisions using Monte Carlo calculations. Using these distributions, X-ray and EUV-line flux have
been studied as a function of column density. It is observed that the line flux increases with the increase in column density,
becoming significant at intermediate column densities where the electron energies and angular distributions have a non-Maxwellian
nature. 相似文献

Fine time variation of hard X-rays has been explained in terms of a spread in the angle of incidence of the source electrons in non-thermal thick-target model for bremsstrahlung generation. The electron energy and angular distributions have been calculated by combining small angle scatterings using analytical treatment with a large angle collision using Monte Carlo calculations as a function of column density. The incidence angles of electrons are taken as 0, 30, and 60°. Using the Bethe-Heitler cross section and the above calculated electron distributions, the bremsstrahlung flux for different photon energies as a function of column density has been studied. The computed X-ray pulse as a function of column density has been converted into time profile. It corresponds well with the observed fine time structure. The calculated spectra of X-rays at the peak and valley are also consistent with the observations. The variation of photon flux with time has also been computed for photon energies 20, 50, and 100 keV for 90 and 180° observation angles together with the changes in spectral shapes of photon energy spectrum at different times for 90 and 180° observation angles. 相似文献

The spatial and angular distributions and also the energy spectrum of hard X-rays from solar flares have been studied in terms of the energy and angular distributions of the accelerated electron beam. The incident electron distributions as functions of column density have been computed by combining the analytical treatment of small-angle scattering with the Monte-Carlo calculations for large angle scattering. To start with monoenergetic electrons at 0°, 30°, and 60° incidence angles have been taken. Using the Bethe-Heitler total cross section and the Sauter differential cross section along with the calculated electron distributions, the bremsstrahlung flux and its angular distribution for different photon energies > 10 keV have been studied as function of column density. The shape of the calculated curves agrees with the observations of PVO/ISEE-3 lending support to the beamed thick-target model for X-ray generation with continuous injection.Physics Department, Vishwa Bharti Institution, Rainawari, Srinagar, India. 相似文献

Variation of electron energy and angular distributions has been studied as a function of column density by combining small-angle analytical treatment with large-angle Monte Carlo calculations. The distributions have been calculated for initial electron energy 300 keV and various incidence directions. Using these distributions and Sauter bremsstrahlung cross-section differential in photon energy and emission angle, we have calculated the X-ray energy and angular distributions for photon energies 10, 20, 50, 100, 150 and 200 keV. By taking the ratio of X-ray flux at 90 and 180°, we have computed the anisotropy ratio A as function of column density. Calculated anisotropy ratio compares well with ISEE-3 and PVO observations. 相似文献

Evolution of energy and angular distributions of electrons has been studied by combining small-angle analytical treatment
with large-angle Monte Carlo calculations as a function of column density for initially monoenergetic and monodirectional
electrons. The incident electron energies considered are 20, 30 and 60 keV at 0°, 30° and 60° angles of incidence. Using these
distributions, time evolution of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum has been studied. The slopes of the curves calculated
compare well with the experimentally observed curve. 相似文献

The evolution of energy and angular distributions of electrons has been studied accounting for the reverse current effect by combining analytically treated small angle multiple scatterings with large angle Monte-Carlo calculations. Reverse current and potential variations as function of column density have been computed. It is found that the reverse current decreases steeply with increase in electron energy. However, it becomes significant for low-energy electrons. By use of these distributions and bremsstrahlung crosssection, the X-ray energy spectrum has been calculated. The nature of the resulting X-ray spectrum integrated over all column depths is similar to the one without reverse current. The time-lag between high-and low-energy photon production has been calculated. It is found that there is a small difference between time-lags as function of observation angles. This fact can be used to test the validity of the beamed thick target model. 相似文献

We have studied the evolution of electron energy and angular distributions using Monte Carlo technique for electron beams directed vertically downwards towards chromosphere for incident energies 30 keV, and 300 keV at different incidence angles. Using these distributions we have calculated microwave flux for different frequencies at a fixed column density as well as for a fixed frequency at different column densities. We have also calculated the total microwave flux coming out of solar atmosphere and have compared it with observations. Our results agree well with observational results and produce the observed nature of flux. 相似文献

Evolution of electron energy distributions have been studied by combining small-angle scattering with analytical treatment of large-angle collision using the Monte-Carlo technique. By use of these, the distributions and energy loss have been calculated as functions of column density, the heating functions have been calculated at different depths of the solar atmosphere. From the heating functions, an increase in temperature produced by the electrons at different column densities has been computed. It is found that rise in temperature increases with an increase in incident electron energy. 相似文献

The EUV lines suitable to diagnose possible κ-distributions in the solar corona are examined. A set of synthetic spectra for various values of the κ-parameter, characterizing the non-thermal κ-distributions, electron densities, and the mean energy of the distributions are calculated in the spectral range corresponding to the Hinode/EIS and Coronas-F/SPIRIT detectors. The strong EUV lines of Fe in various degrees of ionization are used to analyze the sensitivity of the line ratios to the shape of the distribution function, electron density, and temperature or the parameter T of the κ-distribution. The EUV lines suitable for the diagnostics of the distribution function are proposed and the conditions for their usage are discussed. 相似文献

Electron spectra obtained during the flight of Black Brant VB-31 on August 17, 1970 through a stable aurora to a height of 268 km have been analyzed in detail to obtain the pitch angle distributions from 25 to 155° and the electron energy distributions over an energy range of 18 keV to 20 eV through the region of atmospheric interaction down to 97 km. Backscatter ratios for 140° pitch angle range from 0.065 for 18 keV electrons to 0.22 for 1 keV electrons. Backscatter of lower energy electrons decreases with atmospheric depth below 200 km. The effect of the interactions between auroral electrons and the atmosphere is such as to give a peak in electron flux which moves progressively to higher energies with penetration depth. The secondary electron flux increases monotonically with height up to 200 km. The secondary electron spectrum can be approximated by an energy power over small energy ranges but its form is somewhat dependent on height and on the primary electron spectrum. 相似文献

The interaction of a beam of auroral electrons with the atmosphere is described by the linear transport equation, encompassing discrete energy loss, multiple scattering and secondary electrons. A solution to the transport equation provides the electron intensity as a function of altitude, pitch angle (with respect to the geomagnetic field) and energy. A multi-stream (discrete ordinate) approximation to the transport equation is developed. An analytic solution is obtained in this approximation. The computational scheme obtained by combining the present transport code with the energy degradation method of Swartz (1979) conserves energy identically. The theory provides a framework within which angular distributions can be easily calculated and interpreted. Thus, a detailed study of the angular distributions of “non-absorbed” electrons (i.e., electrons that have lost just a small fraction of their incident energy) reveals a systematic variation with incident angle and energy, and with penetration depth. The present approach also gives simple yet accurate solutions in low order multi-stream approximations. The accuracy of the four-stream approximation is generally within a few per cent, whereas two-stream results for backscattered mean intensities and fluxes are accurate to within 10–15%. 相似文献

The total photoelectron and secondary electron fluxes are calculated at different times and altitudes along the trajectory of Mars Global Surveyor passing through the nightside and dayside martian ionosphere. These results are compared with the electron reflectometer experiment on board Mars Global Surveyor. The calculated electron spectra are in good agreement with this measurement. However, the combined fluxes of proton and hydrogen atom as calculated by E. Kallio and P. Janhunen (2001, J. Geophys. Res.106, 5617-5634) were found to be 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than the measured spectra. We have also calculated ionization rates and ion and electron densities due to solar EUV, X-ray, and electron-proton-hydrogen atom impacting with atmospheric gases of Mars at solar zenith angles of 75°, 105°, and 127°. In the vicinity of the dayside ionization peak, it is found that the ion production rate caused by the precipitation of proton-hydrogen atom is larger than the X-ray impact ionization rate while at all altitudes, the photoionization rate is always greater than either of the two. Moreover, X-rays contribute greatly to the photoelectron impact ionization rate as compared to the photoion production rate. The calculated electron densities are compared with radio occultation measurements made by Mars Global Surveyor, Viking 1, and Mars 5 spacecraft at these solar zenith angles. The dayside ionosphere produced by proton-hydrogen atom is smaller by an order of magnitude than that produced by solar EUV radiation. X-rays play a significant role in the dayside ionosphere of Mars at the altitude range 100-120 km. Solar wind electrons and protons provide a substantial source for the nightside ionosphere. These calculations are carried out for a solar minimum period using solar wind electron flux, photon flux, neutral densities, and temperatures under nearly the same areophysical conditions as the measurements. 相似文献

在中子星磁轴吸积柱的上部,少数高能电子通过磁镜点反射,可使部份电子的速度分布形成非热分布,由此激发激射(Maser)不稳定性。波被放大,发射出频率近似为电子迴旋频率及其倍频的相干辐射。用此模型计算了HerX-1的迴旋线发射。发现不稳定性增长率与吸积柱中电子数密度成正比,因而比非相干散射产生的连续辐射随电子数密度增长更快;而且发射线的强度和能量均与脉冲相位关联。这个理论可解释近期的HerX-1观测结果。 相似文献

The angular variations of elastic and inelastic scattering cross-sections have been calculated accounting for Hartree-Fock atomic model. Using these cross-sections the evolution of electron energy and angular distributions at different heights in the ionosphere have been computed with the help of Monte Carlo technique. Mono-energetic, power law and exponential electron spectra with isotropic and mono-directional incidence starting at an altitude of 300 km have been taken to obtain the angular and energy distribution at certain height intervals. It is found that isotropic distribution incident at the top of the ionosphere becomes anisotropic due to collisions at lower heights. Using Sauter bremsstrahlung cross-section and the calculated electron flux we have computed the spectrum, angular distribution and polarization of bremsstrahlung X-rays at different heights.The emission is found to be peaked at lower angles at higher heights and becomes isotropic with depth of penetration. Polarization is considerable at higher altitudes for mono-directional beams and becomes significant at lower heights for isotropic incidence. It is argued that the study of angular distribution and polarization can yield information about the nature of precipitating electron flux and hence about the acceleration mechanism operating during electron precipitation. 相似文献

A self-consistent, time-dependent numerical model of the aurora and high-latitude ionos-phere has been developed. It is used to study the response of ionospheric and atmospheric properties in regions subjected to electron bombardment. The time history of precipitation events is arbitrarily specified and computations are made for a variety of electron spectral energy distributions and flux magnitudes. These include soft electron precipitation, such as might occur on the poleward edge of the auroral oval and within the magnetospheric cleft, and harder spectra representative of particle precipitation commonly observed within and on the equatorward edge of the auroral oval. Both daytime and night-time aurorae are considered. The results of the calculations show that the response of various ionospheric and atmospheric parameters depends upon the spectral energy distribution and flux magnitudes of the precipitating electrons during the auroral event. Various properties respond with different time constants that are influenced by coupling processes described by the interactive model. The soft spectrum aurora affects mainly the ionospheric F region, where it causes increases in the electron density, electron temperature and the 6300 Å red line intensity from normal quiet background levels during both daytime and night-time aurora. The fractional variation is greater for the night-time aurora. The hard spectrum aurorae, in general, do not greatly affect the F-2 region of the ionosphere; however, in the F-1 and E regions, large increases from background conditions are shown to occur in the electron and ion temperatures, electron and ion densities, airglow emission rates and minor neutral constituent densities during the build-up phase of the auroral event. During the decay phase of the aurora, most of these properties decrease at nearly the same rate as the specified particle precipitation flux. However, some ionospheric and atmospheric species have a long memory of the auroral event. The odd nitrogen species N(4S) and NO probably do not ever reach steady-state densities between auroral storms. 相似文献

The relationship between the X-ray flux and the radio flux from cosmic objects is investigated. We consider the emission from energetic electrons on the condition in which a plasma and a magnetic field exist. As energetic electrons under the circumstances emit both X-rays by the bremsstrahlung mechanism and radio waves by the gyrosynchrotron mechanism simultaneously, it is shown that the radio flux density is closely related to the X-ray flux density. Solving an integral equation describing the X-ray flux density at Earth, we obtain the energy spectrum of electrons in the emitting region. Inserting the result into equation of the radio flux density at Earth, we obtain the direct formula between the X-ray flux density and the radio flux density. The relation is independent of the distance between Earth and cosmic sources. Assuming a power-law X-ray spectrum, we evaluate the numerical relation between two flux densities. 相似文献

Model calculations of the S-component are compared with observations of the RATAN-600 telescope at five discrete microwave frequencies referring to active region McMath No. 15974 on May 1, 1979. The spectral variations of source diameter, flux density, and degree of polarization are used to derive the height scale of the magnetic field in accordance with a magnetic dipole distribution under the assumption of advanced temperature and electron density distributions according to most recent EUV observations. 相似文献

The X-ray and γ-ray flux densities of 18 γ-loud BL Lac objects as well as their average spectral indices of X-ray wave band (1 keV) and γ-ray wave band (>100 MeV) are collected, and the correlations among the various quantities are examined. The results indicate: (1) The X-ray flux density and the γ-ray flux density exhibit rather strong correlations in all the states, high, low or mediate. (2) Between the mean spectral indices in X-ray and γ-ray wave bands there is a comparatively intense anti-correlation. (3) Between the average spectral indices and the X-ray and γ- flux densities there is no evident correlation either in the high or the mediate state. (4) Between the average spectral index of γ-ray wave band and the flux density of X-rays in low state there is a rather strong anticorrelation. Between the mean spectral index of X-ray wave band and the γ-flux density in low state there also exists a weak correlation. The results of our analysis support the viewpoint that both the X-ray and γ-ray emissions of BL Lac objects come from the synchrotron radiation and synchrotron self Compton (SSC) radiation with one and the same distribution of relativistic electrons. 相似文献

The maximum flux density of a gyrosynchrotron radiation spectrum in a mag- netic dip|oe model with self absorption and gyroresonance is calculated. Our calculations show that the maximum flux density of the gyrosynchrotron spectrum increases with in- creasing low-energy cutoff, number density, input depth of energetic electrons, magnetic field strength and viewing angle, and with decreasing energy spectral index of energetic electrons, number density and temperature of thermal electrons. It is found that there are linear correlations between the logarithms of the maximum flux density and the above eight parameters with correlation coefficients higher than 0.91 and fit accuracies better than 10%. The maximum flux density could be a good indicator of the changes of these source parameters. In addition, we find that there are very good positive linear correla- tions between the logarithms of the maximum flux density and peak frequency when the above former five parameters vary respectively. Their linear correlation coefficients are higher than 0.90 and the fit accuracies are better than 0.5%. 相似文献

We have conducted a spectral line survey of IRC +10216 using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to an average sensitivity of < or approximately 95 mK. A deconvolution algorithm has been used to derive the continuous single-sideband spectrum from 330.2 to 358.1 GHz. A total of 56 spectral lines were detected of which 54 have been identified with 8 molecules and a total of 18 isotopomers. The observed lines are used to derive column densities and relative abundances for the detected species. Within this frequency range the spectral lines detected contribute the majority of the total flux emitted by IRC +10216. We use the derived column densities and excitation temperatures to simulate the molecular line emission (assuming LTE) at frequencies up to 1000 GHz. The observed and simulated flux from line emission is compared to broadband total flux measurements and to dust emission assuming a power-law variation of the dust emissivity. We conclude that significant corrections for the line flux must be made to broadband flux measurements of IRC +10216 at wavelengths longer than approximately 750 micrometers. 相似文献
