The general-relativistic Ohm’s law for a two-component plasma which includes the gravitomagnetic force terms even in the case
of quasi-neutrality has been derived. The equations that describe the electromagnetic processes in a plasma surrounding a
neutron star are obtained by using the general relativistic form of Maxwell equations in a geometry of slow rotating gravitational
object. In addition to the general-relativistic effect first discussed by Khanna and Camenzind (Astron. Astrophys. 307:665,
1996) we predict a mechanism of the generation of azimuthal current under the general relativistic effect of dragging of inertial
frames on radial current in a plasma around neutron star. The azimuthal current being proportional to the angular velocity
ω of the dragging of inertial frames can give valuable contribution on the evolution of the stellar magnetic field if ω exceeds 2.7×1017(n/σ) s−1 (n is the number density of the charged particles, σ is the conductivity of plasma). Thus in general relativity a rotating neutron star, embedded in plasma, can in principle
generate axial-symmetric magnetic fields even in axisymmetry. However, classical Cowling’s antidynamo theorem, according to
which a stationary axial-symmetric magnetic field can not be sustained against ohmic diffusion, has to be hold in the general-relativistic
case for the typical plasma being responsible for the rotating neutron star. 相似文献

We here investigate the dispersion properties of radiation in the SS433 relativistic jets. We assume that the jet is composed
of cold electron-proton plasma immersed in a predominantly parallel magnetic field to the jet axis. We find that for the mildly
relativistic source SS433 (for which 〈ψ〉≃79°), the bulk velocity is too small (v≃0.26c) to produce significant changes in the dispersion properties of the medium. Nonetheless, in the rarefied outer regions of
the jets, where radio emission dominates, even a weak magnetic field has some influence on the dispersion properties and there
appear two different electromagnetic branches that are slightly sensitive to the bulk relativistic motion. In the inner, X-ray
region, the magnetic field is much stronger, but in this region the high electron density preserves the isotropic character
of the local plasma and no branch separation occurs. In the region of the jet where the IR and optical emission dominates,
the cold plasma may be also considered isotropic, i.e., neither the magnetic field nor the bulk velocity is able to affect
the propagation of the radiation. Finally, we find that the Doppler line displacement in SS433 is affected by plasma dispersion
only in a narrow frequency range in the far IR. As a consequence, although the shift (z) modulation due to precession of the SS433 jets is well described by previous work, it has to be corrected by plasma dispersion
effects in the far-IR range. 相似文献

The modulational instability of the weakly nonlinear longitudinal Langmuir as well as the transverse electromagnetic waves, propagation in the relativistic plasma without the static fields is described. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation taking account of the nonlinear Landau damping for these waves has been derived by means of the relativistic Vlasov and Maxwell equations. The plasma with the weakly relativistic temperature and that with an ultrarelativistic one has been investigated. In the first case, for the electron-proton plasma with the temperature more than 2.3 KeV we found the regional change of the wave numbers for which the soliton of two types, subsonic and supersonic, can exist. The soliton of the transverse waves can exist when the group velocity of the waves is between the thermal velocity of the electron and ion and the length of the linear waves is less than 2c/
pi
.In the second case the regions of the wave numbers, with the solitons of the Langmuir and transverse waves have been determined.The nonlinear waves in the electron-positron plasma and the waves with the phase velocity, which is about the light one, are also considered in the following paper. 相似文献

Existence of compressive relativistic solitons is established in an arbitrary ξ-direction, inclining at an angle to the direction of the weak magnetic field (ω

Bi
) in this plasma compound with ions, relativistic electrons and relativistic electron beams. It is observed that the absolute
linear growth of amplitudes of compressive solitons is due to inactive role of the weak magnetic field and the initial streaming
speeds of relativistic electrons, electron beams, and Q
b
(ion mass to electron beam mass). Besides, the small initial streaming of electrons is found to be responsible to generate
relatively high amplitude compressive solitons. The non-relativistic ions in the background plasma, but in absence of electron-beam
drift and in presence of weak magnetic field are the causing effect of interest for the smooth growth of soliton amplitudes
in this model of plasma. 相似文献

Two R-Process Components in Ultra-Metal-Poor Stars: The Neutron-Capture Element Distribution of CS 22892-052 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The abundance patterns of neutron-capture elements in very metal-poor halo stars play a crucial role in guiding and constraining
theoretical models of nucleosynthesis. Many studies have suggested that the abundance patterns of the heavier (Z≥ 56) stable neutron-capture elements in very metal-poor halo stars are consistent with the solar system r-process abundance distribution, but this concordance breaks down for the lighter neutron-capture elements in the range of
40<Z<56. Some studies argue that there are two separate r-processes respectively responsible for the productions of the heavier and lighter neutron-capture elements. The new observed
data of the lighter n-capture elements in the 40<Z<56 domain (Nb, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag and Cd) in CS 22892-052 makes it available to examine whether or not there are two different
r-processes. Based upon these observed abundances of n-capture elements in ultra metal-poor star CS22892-052, we present a phenomenological model to identify the characters of
the different nucleosynthesis processes in very metal-poor stars. The results show that the model predictions can well match
the observations in CS 22892-052, which truly means that there are different r-processes for the lighter and heavier neutron-capture elements, and the stellarr-process patterns are similar to the solar system r-process abundance distribution.

The lattice whose properties have been tabulated by Baymet al. (1971) is unstable against nuclear quadrupole deformation for nuclear chargeZ>Z
c, 120<Z
c<201, if the electron gas is assumed to be of uniform density. Electron screening corrections to the change in energy density with nuclear deformation are large and it is shown that their inclusion removes the instability. The expression of Fuchs (1936), given originally for monovalent metals, overestimates the shear modulus of the lattice, for largeZ, by less than a factor of two. 相似文献

The processes by which streams of charged particles become charge and current neutralized in the corona are investigated. It is shown that a large amplitude plasma wave, which is related to precursor phenomenon in type III bursts and possibly plasma radiation from type IV bursts, will be excited at the head of the stream. The energy extracted from the stream to produce this plasma wave is computed and used to set conservative upper limits on the densities of possible excitors for type III bursts. For electron streams the density n
s < 10–5

e, where n
e is the density of the background plasma. For proton streams n

n
e. The energy extracted from the stream is also used to set upper limits on the lifetimes of relativistic electrons stored in the corona and it is concluded that for n
e > 102 cm–3 this loss must be taken into account. Since electron streams cannot produce their own stabilizing ionacoustic waves because they would violate the condition n
s < 10–5
n
e, other mechanisms for producing ion-acoustic waves in the corona are examined. Another stabilization mechanism due to velocity inhomogeneity is investigated.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

The first generation of stars was formed from primordial gas. Numerical simulations suggest that the first stars were predominantly very massive, with typical masses M≥100M
⊙. These stars were responsible for the reionization of the universe, the initial enrichment of the intergalactic medium with
heavy elements, and other cosmological consequences. In this work, we study the structure of Zero Age Main-Sequence stars
for a wide mass and metallicity range and the evolution of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300M
⊙ galactic and pregalactic Pop III very massive stars without mass loss, with metallicity Z=10−6 and 10−9, respectively. Using a stellar evolution code, a system of 10 equations together with boundary conditions are solved simultaneously.
For the change of chemical composition, which determines the evolution of a star, a diffusion treatment for convection and
semiconvection is used. A set of 30 nuclear reactions are solved simultaneously with the stellar structure and evolution equations.
Several results on the main sequence, and during the hydrogen and helium burning phases, are described. Low-metallicity massive
stars are hotter and more compact and luminous than their metal-enriched counterparts. Due to their high temperatures, pregalactic
stars activate sooner the triple alpha reaction self-producing their own heavy elements. Both galactic and pregalactic stars
are radiation pressure dominated and evolve below the Eddington luminosity limit with short lifetimes. The physical characteristics
of the first stars have significant influence in predictions of the ionizing photon yields from the first luminous objects;
also they develop large convective cores with important helium core masses which are important for explosion calculations. 相似文献

A rigorous theoretical investigation of nonlinear electron-acoustic (EA) waves in a plasma system (containing cold electrons, hot electrons obeying a Boltzmann distribution, and hot ions obeying a nonthermal distribution) is studied by the reductive perturbation method. The modified Gardner (MG) equation is derived and numerically solved. It has been found that the basic characteristics of the EA Gardner solitons (GSs), which are shown to exist for α around its critical value α c [where α is the nonthermal parameter, α c is the value of α corresponding to the vanishing of the nonlinear coefficient of the Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation, e.g. α c ≃0.31 for μ=n h0/n i0=0.5, σ=T h /T i =10, n h0, n i0 are, respectively, hot electron and nonthermal ion number densities at equilibrium, T h (T i ) is the hot electron (ion) temperature], are different from those of the K-dV solitons, which do not exist for α around α c , and mixed K-dV solitons, which are valid around α∼α c , but do not have any corresponding double layers (DLs) solution. The parametric regimes for the existence of the DLs, which are found to be associated with positive potential, are obtained. The present investigations can be observed in various space plasma environments (viz. the geomagnetic tail, the auroral regions, the cusp of the terrestrial magnetosphere, etc.). 相似文献

Rapid proton capture is supposed to be responsible for the synthesis of a number of proton-rich nuclei. This process of hydrogen burning is considered here for mass elements, the atomic numbers of which range fromZ=10 toZ=20. The possible site for this process is assumed to be the outer envelope of the supernova at a proton number density (n
p
)ranging fromn
p
=1022 cm–3 ton
p
=1028 cm–3 at temperatures in the range ofT=2–3×109 K.The capture path is determined by considering that a dynamical equilibrium between (p, ) and (,p) reactions exists between the reacting nuclei. In this situation, the abundances of elements become proportional to the lifetime of + decaying nuclei at the waiting points.It is suggested that these rapid proton-capture reactions are responsible for the production of a number of nuclei in the rangeA40 during supernova outbursts. 相似文献

The radio recombination line intensities of heavy elements of helium, carbon and oxygen are calculated with accounting for
dielectronic recombination. Dielectronic recombination rates are determined accurate to the second order of a perturbation
theory and the rates are described as function of principal quantum number for helium-like atom or ion. Balance equations
are solved for the departure coefficients from LTE bn. The collision and spontaneous transition rates are accounted for the balance equations, in which non-equilibrium distribution
source is dielectronic recombination. Non-equilibrium amplification coefficients are found as functions of a medium temperature,
density and ion charge z = 1–3 for radio recombination lines.
Optical depths are calculated for the heavy element low-frequency lines with the numbers 300 > n > 1200. For the chosen electronic temperatures and densities Te = 0.8× 104–10× 104 K, Ne = 0.05–0.1 cm−3 the line optical depth is determined by the values τL∼ 0.1× 10−4–100× 10−4. Calculated for free-free transition rates, the optical depth is given by using the value τff∼ 10−2τL. 相似文献

In this work, the evolution of the relationship between Solar Cycle Length of solar cycle n (SCL
n
) and Solar Cycle Amplitude of the solar cycle n+1 (SCA
n+1) is studied by using the R
Z and R
G sunspot numbers. We conclude that this relationship is only strongly significant in a statistical sense during the first
half of the historical record of R
Z sunspot number whereas it is considerably less significant for the R
G sunspot number. In this sense we assert that these simple lagged relationships should be avoided as a valid method to predict
the following solar activity amplitude. 相似文献

It has become clear in recent years that relativistic beaming is a good explanation for the BL Lac phenomenon. Of studies based on the relativistic beaming model of BL Lac objects, we note that the orientation of jet's axis to the line-of-sight is very small and, therefore, the observed flux emitted from a rapidly moving source is orders of magnitude higher than the flux in its rest-frame:F

Nonlinear ion acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) are addressed in a weakly relativistic plasma consisting of cold ion fluid,
q-nonextensive electron velocity distribution and Boltzmann distributed positron. The Korteweg-de Vries- (KdV) equation is
derived by reductive perturbation method. We investigate the effect of nonextensive electrons on solitary waves in this medium.
It is found that only compressive solitons can be appeared in the existence of nonextensive electrons. It is shown that the
structure of soliton depend sensitively on the q-nonextensive parameter. 相似文献

The equation of state of neutron star matter is examined in terms of the relativistic mean-field theory, including a scalar-isovector
δ-meson effective field. The constants of the theory are determined numerically so that the empirically known characteristics
of symmetric nuclear matter are reproduced at the saturation density. The thermodynamic characteristics of both asymmetric
nucleonic matter and β-equilibrium hadron-electron npe-plasmas are studied. Assuming that the transition to strange quark
matter is an ordinary first-order phase transition described by Maxwell's rule, a detailed study is made of the variations
in the parameters of the phase transition owing to the presence of a δ-meson field. The quark phase is described using an
improved version of the bag model, in which interactions between quarks are accounted for in a one-gluon exchange approximation.
The characteristics of the phase transition are determined for various values of the bag parameter within the range B ∈ [60,120]MeV/fm3 and it is shown that including a δ-meson field leads to a reduction in the phase transition pressure P

Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are the most likely sources of the galactic cosmic rays up to energies of about 1015 eV/nuc. The large scale shock waves of SNRs are almost ideal sites to accelerate particles up to these highly non-thermal
energies by a first order Fermi mechanism which operates through scattering of the particles at magnetic irregularities. In
order to get an estimate on the total amount of the explosion energy E
SNconverted into high energy particles the evolution of a SNR has to be followed up to the final merging with the interstellar
medium. This can only be done by numerical simulations since the non-linear modifications of the shock wave due to particle
acceleration as well as radiative cooling processes at later SNR stages have to be considered in such investigations. Based
on a large sample of numerical evolution calculations performed for different ambient densities n
ext, SN explosion energies, magnetic fields etc. we discuss the final ‘yields’ of cosmic rays at the final SNR stage where the
Mach number of the shock waves drops below 2. At these times the cosmic rays start to diffuse out of the remnant. In the range
of external densities of10-2 ≤ n
ext/[cm-3] ≤ 30 we find a the total acceleration efficiency of about 0.15 E
SN with an increase up to 0.24 E
SN at maximum for an external density of n
ext = 10 cm-3. Since for the larger ambient densities radiative cooling can reduce significantly the total thermal energy content of the
remnant dissipation of Alfvén waves can provide an important heating mechanism for the gas at these later stages. From the
collisions of the cosmic rays with the thermal plasma neutral pions are generated which decay subsequently into observable
γ-rays above 100 MeV. Hence, we calculate these γ-ray luminosities of SNRs and compare them with current upper limits of ground
based γ-raytelescopes. The development of dense shells due to cooling of the thermal plasma increases the γ-ray luminosities
and e.g. an external density of n
ext = 10 cm-3 with E
SN = 1051 erg can lead to a γ-ray flux above 10-6 ph cm-2 s-1 for a remnant located at a distance of 1 kpc.

During a unique solar radio event on March 2, 1970, among very diverse features, a very regular pattern was observed in the solar radio spectrographic record between 220 and 320 MHz. The proposed explanation is emission by slightly relativistic electrons at the sum frequency of the plasma frequency ( 160 MHz) and the lower harmonics of the local gyrofrequency (n from 3 to 10), rather than emission at pure harmonics of the gyrofrequency (n from 15 to 20). The derived magnetic field strengths range from 3 to 8 G, and can be determined very accurately. From the simultaneously occurring pulsating structure in the type IV emission and the deduced magnetic field strength a typical size of the emitting region of 2–300 km is derived. 相似文献

From July 13 to August 21, 1994, we observed Jupiter at 1420 MHz using one of the 30-m single dishes of the Instituto Argentino
de Radioastronomía. After the impact of fragment G, we detected a rapid increase of the 21cm-continuum flux, which reached
the maximum (≈ 20% of Jupiter's flux) at the end of the impact period. The nature of this radiation is clearly synchrotron.
We interpret it in terms of a new population of relativistic electrons (≈ 2 × 1029) injected into the Jovian magnetosphere as a consequence of the impact explosions. The proposed mechanism is that the relativistic
plasma was blown as magnetic clouds that flowed along the magnetic lines of force towards the jovimagnetic equator. We constructed
a model in which the energies of the fresh electrons, generated within the magnetized clouds with a power law energy spectrum,
were highly degraded by the comet dust grains attached to the magnetized plasma. The model can account for the spectral shape
based on observations at several frequencies (de Pater et al., 1995, Science 268, 1879; Venturi et al., 1996, Astron. Astrophys. 316, 243). The energy released by the explosions under the form of relativistic electrons is of ≈ 2 × 1025 erg, which represents a fraction of about 1–3 per cent of the explosion energy. The efficiency in converting the explosion
energy into the relativistic electron energy is, therefore, of the same order of magnitude as that of supernova explosions.
An alternative model is considered. This gives figures for the total energy and number of relativistic electrons that are
similar to the corresponding ones of the favoured model. Finally, we suggest that the behavior of the flux decay in the various
observed frequencies is the result of the diffusion of electrons into the loss-cone due to the resonant scattering of the
electrons by Alfven waves.

The problem of nonlinear localized dust acoustic (DA) is addressed in a plasma comprising positive ions, negative ions, and
mobile negatively charged dust grains. We first consider the case when the grain charge remains constant and discuss later
the case when the charge variations are self-consistently included. It is found that a relative increase of the positive ion
density favors the propagation of the DA solitary waves, in the sense that the domain of their admissible Mach numbers enlarges.
Furthermore, electronegativity makes the dust acoustic solitary structure more spiky. When the dust grain charge Q
d
is allowed to fluctuate, the latter is expressed in terms of the Lambert function and we take advantage of this transcendental
function to investigate the variable charge DA solitary wave. Q
d
adopts a localized profile and becomes more negative as the number of charges Z
(−) of the negative ion increases. The dust grains are found to be highly localized. This localization (accumulation) caused
by a balance of the electrostatic forces acting on the dust grains becomes more effective for lower values of Z
(−). An increase of Z
(−) may lead to a local depletion of the negative ions from the region of the soliton’s localization. The results are useful
to understand the salient features of localization of large amplitude dust acoustic waves in cosmic plasmas such as the ionospheric
D-region and the mesosphere. 相似文献

We present analysis of flare process as "phase transition" phenomena caused by frustration of current percolation in turbulent
current sheet. We show that numerous plasma instabilities in the sheet will form random resistors network with "bad resistors"-turbulent
domains and "good resistors"-normal plasma domains. We show that current percolation in random inhomogeneous turbulent current
sheet like to another percolated systems is able to produce phase transition with drastic change of global properties of system
as whole (conductivity, heat-conductivity, elasticity,) on the threshold value of critical density of "bad" elements (p= p
c
). Another property of solar flares, what may be understood on the base of percolation approach is observed universal power
dependence of frequency of flares and microflares (elementary events-spikes) on their amplitude: N
W
∝ W
−k
. It may be explained as natural sequence of universal power dependence of clusters' masses in percolated systems on their
sizes. The slope of resulted spectra is determined by the fractal dimension of clusters and depends on feedback between current
propagation and turbulence generation. We show that percolation approach allow to explain phenomena of preflare bursts-precursors
observed in radio and hard X-ray. It may be understood as results of pre-catastrophic lose of elasticity of system to small
disturbance on the percolation threshold, with formation of short life nuclear of "new phase".
