We provide our estimates of the intensity of the gamma-ray emission with an energy near 0.1 TeV generated in intergalactic space in the interactions of cosmic rays with background emissions. We assume that the cosmic-ray sources are pointlike and that these are active galactic nuclei. The following possible types of sources are considered: remote and powerful ones, at redshifts up to z = 1.1, with a monoenergetic particle spectrum, E = 1021 eV; the same objects, but with a power-law particle spectrum; and nearby sources at redshifts 0 < z ≤ 0.0092, i.e., at distances no larger than 50 Mpc also with a power-law particle spectrum. The contribution of cosmic rays to the extragalactic diffuse gammaray background at an energy of 0.1 TeVhas been found to depend on the type of sources or, more specifically, the contribution ranges from f ? 10?4 to f ≈ 0.1, depending on the source model. We conclude that the data on the extragalactic background gamma-ray emission can be used to determine the characteristics of extragalactic cosmic-ray sources, i.e., their distances and the pattern of the particle energy spectrum. 相似文献

The energy distribution of the fast electrons captured into a collapsing magnetic trap in the solar corona is calculated as a function of the trap length and diameter. It is shown that if the electrons injected into the trap have a power-law spectrum, then their spectrum remains a power-law one with the same slope throughout the acceleration process for both the Fermi and betatron acceleration mechanisms. For electrons with a thermal injection spectrum, the model predicts two types of hard X-ray sources, thermal and nonthermal. Thermal sources are formed in traps dominated by the betatron mechanism. Nonthermal sources with a power-law spectrum are formed when electrons are accelerated by the Fermi mechanism. 相似文献

Spectral measurement of Mkn 421 were made in the hard X-ray energy band of 20–200 keV using a high sensitivity, large area
scintillation counter telescope on November 21, 2000 and these coincided with the onset of an active X-ray phase as seen in
the ASM counting rates on board RXTE. The observed spectrum can not be fitted to a single power law similar to the PDS data
of BeppoSAX. The data can be fitted both by a two component power-law function or a combination of an exponential function
with a power law component at the high energies above 80 keV. We identify these components with those arising from the synchrotron
self compton and the high energy power-law tail arising from the upgrading of the thermal photons due to multiple Compton
scattering a la Cyg X-1. A comparison with the earlier data clearly suggests a spectral variability in the hard X-ray spectrum
of the source. We propose a continuously flaring geometry for the source as the underlying mechanism for energy release. 相似文献

In the standard afterglow model, the swept electrons have a single power-law energy distribution dn/dγe ∝ γ−p e (p ∼ 2.3), owing to the first order Fermi acceleration process. However, in some events people find a lot of evidence for a flat electron spectrum (i.e., p < 2). In this work, the analytical afterglow light curves in the case of a flat electron energy distribution are presented respectively for a single power-law spectrum and a broken power-law spectrum, then the results are applied to the specific burst GRB 060908. Besides, we have also speculated a possible solution of the so-called low energy spectrum crisis of Gamma-ray Bursts 相似文献

We analyze the observations of solar protons with energies >80 MeV near the Earth and the January 20, 2005, solar flare in various ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. Within approximately the first 30 min after their escape into interplanetary space, the solar protons with energies above 80 MeV propagated without scattering to the Earth and their time profiles were determined only by the time profile of the source on the Sun and its energy spectrum. The 80–165 MeV proton injection function was nonzero beginning at 06:43:80 UT and can be represented as the product of the temporal part, the ACS (Anticoincidence System) SPI (Spectrometer on INTEGRAL) count rate, and the energy part, a power-law proton spectrum ～E ?4.7±0.1. Protons with energies above 165 MeV and relativistic electrons were injected, respectively, 4 and 9 min later than this time. The close correlation between high-energy solar electromagnetic emission and solar proton fluxes near the Earth is evidence for prolonged and multiple proton acceleration in solar flares. The formation of a posteruptive loop system was most likely accompanied by successive energy releases and acceleration of charged particles with various energies. Our results are in conflict with the ideas of cosmic-ray acceleration in gradual solar particle events at the shock wave driven by a coronal mass ejection. 相似文献

The formation of power-law energy spectrum of particles accelerated in solar flares is investigated. The distinct difference between the mechanism and the model of acceleration is pointed out. It is shown that Fermi's model is described by linear differential equation of the first order and therefore a power-law spectrum is formed only for some special conditions which apparently are not fulfilled for flares. A satisfactory alternative to Fermi's model hasn't yet been found. In conclusion the connection between the mechanism of acceleration and a charge spectrum of accelerated particles is examined. 相似文献

太阳耀斑中硬X射线(HXR)光子谱的低能变平过去一般认为是由于耀斑中非热电子的低能截止造成的,但现在也有作者认为耀斑光子与下层大气的逆康普顿散射(albedo效应)或者其他作用也能够使得HXR光子谱出现低能变平的情形.采用Gan etal.(2001,2002)中提出的求非热电子低能截止的方法,统计分析了Ramaty High EnergySolar Spectroscopy Imager(RHESSI)卫星在2002--2005年间观测的100个耀斑,发现经albedo校正,有18个耀斑的HXR光子谱可以利用单幂律谱来拟合,在80个可以用双幂律谱来拟合HXR光子谱的耀斑中,有21个耀斑可以直接用单幂律电子谱加一个低能截止来解释.低能截止范围为20-50keV,平均值约为30keV.同时也分析了耀斑光子谱特征的其他可能解释. 相似文献

CCD photometry and MERLIN observations of M87 (Virgo A) have been used to study the variations of the radio to optical spectral index along the jet. In general, the radio spectrum is flatter than the optical one and both become steeper with distance from the nucleus. The optical fluxes of the bright knots lie at or below the extrapolation of the radio spectrum. These properties can be explained by power-law spectra at low frequencies that turn down gradually beyond a cut-off frequency. The location of the local cut-off frequency is estimated by fitting the measured fluxes to the theoretical spectrum of a truncated power-law electron energy distribution. The results are interpreted in terms of models of synchrotron emission from shock waves in extragalactic jets. 相似文献

Acceleration of Electrons and Protons in Reconnecting Current Sheets Including Single or Multiple X-points 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Kinematic characteristics of electrons and protons in the magnetic reconnecting current sheet in the presence of a guide field are investigated. Particle trajectories are calculated for different values of the guide field by a test-particle calculation. The relationship between the final energy and the initial position has also been studied. We found that the addition of a guide field not only allows particles to get more energy and not only results in the separation of electrons and protons, but also causes the reconnecting electric field to selectively accelerate electrons and protons for different initial positions. The energy spectrum eventually obtained is the common power-law spectrum, and as the guide field increases, the index for the spectrum of electrons decreases rapidly. However, for a weak background magnetic field, proton spectra are not very sensitive to the guide field; but for a strong background field, the dependence of the spectrum index is similar to the electron spectrum. Meanwhile, kinematic characteristics of the accelerated particles in the current sheet including multiple X-points and O-points were also investigated. The result indicates that the existence of the multiple X- and O-points helps particles trapped in the accelerating region to gain more energy, and yields the double or multiple power-law feature. 相似文献

Theoretical calculation has shown that the spectrum of the Compton backscattering component in solar hard X-ray flares has a peak around 30 keV for a primary power-law source. Thus the superposition of the Compton backscattering component could cause a photon spectrum received at the Earth to be flattened below the peak energy and steeper above the peak energy. On the other hand, because a thick-target bremsstrahlung photon with a given energy E only could be produced by a nonthermal electron with an energy larger than E, thus if a power-law electron spectrum is cutoff below an energy E c, then the produced photon spectrum will become flattened below E c. In this work we present a calculation of the joint effects of the Compton backscattering and the low-energy cutoff on the spectral characteristics of the received solar hard X-ray in the energy range 10–100 keV. The results show that the flattening caused purely by the Compton backscattering could be comparable with that by the low-energy cutoff for hard spectra. So, it is obvious that the joint effects of the low-energy cutoff and the Compton backscattering could result in the received photon spectra to be much more flattened at lower energies. On the other hand, compared to the primary photon spectrum, the received photon spectral index will increase about 0.15 due to the Compton backscattering at higher energy, which seems independent of the primary spectral index. 相似文献

Calculations of the energy evolution of relativistic particles in a cluster of galaxies are presented. The heating of the X-ray gas by the radio gas in the cluster PKS 0745-191 is derived using Chandra X-ray data and VLA radio data. It is found that the heating is not sufficient for the radiation loss of the X-ray gas if the lower limit of energy in the power-law spectrum of relativistic electrons is set at 0.001 erg. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the crossing point of the power-law distribution lines calculated during different times of microwave and hard X-ray bursts. A linear correlation between the logarithm of the total density and the energy index of nonthermal electrons described by a power-law is proven to be a necessary condition for the crossing of a group of power-law distribution lines corresponding to the time evolution of the nonthermal electrons during a solar microwave and HXR burst. The common crossing point of these lines may be considered as evidence of a common cutoff energy of the nonthermal electrons responsible for gyrosynchrotron or bremsstrahlung radiation. When the common crossing point is close to the low-energy cutoff, the correlation coefficient is negative, and vice versa. The result may be useful for estimating the cutoff energy as well as the particle acceleration mechanism. 相似文献

A consistent theory of energy exchange between high-energy charged cosmic-ray particles and the random inhomogeneities of a magnetic field frozen in the moving solar wind plasma is developed. It is shown that the mode of the particle energy variations at a given law of plasma velocity variation in space is determined by the specific form of the particle distribution function. The equation for the density of cosmic-ray energy is obtained. Consideration is given to the generation of a charged particle energy spectrum in the course of multiple scatterings by the random inhomogeneities of the magnetic field. 相似文献

We review recent PIC simulation results which show that double-sided irradiation of a thin over-dense plasma slab with ultra-intense
laser pulses from both sides can lead to sustained comoving Poynting flux acceleration of electrons to energies much higher
than the conventional ponderomotive limit. The result is a robust power-law electron momentum spectrum similar to astrophysical
sources. We discuss future ultra-intense laser experiments that may be used to simulate astrophysical particle acceleration. 相似文献

Starting with the quasi-linear equation of the distribution function of particles in a regular electric field, a combined diffusion coefficient in the momentum space conbining the effects of the regular field and a turbulent field is obtained and a combined mechanism of acceleration by the regular and turbulent fields in the neutral sheet of solar proton flares is proposed. It is shown by calculation that conditions in solar proton flares are such that the charged particles can be effectively accelerated to tens of MeV, even ~1 GeV. It is shown that the combined acceleration by a regular electric field and ion-acoustic turbulence pumps the protons and other heavy ions into ranges of energy where they can be accelerated by Langmuir turbulence. By considering the combined acceleration by Langmuir turbulence and the regular electric field, the observed spectrum of energetic protons and the power-law spectrum of energetic electrons can be reproduced. 相似文献

The flattening at the low energy end of the hard X-ray (HXR) photon spectrum of solar flares was generally thought to be due to a cutoff of nonthermal electrons in flares. However, some authors have suggested that inverse Compton scattering (i.e., the albedo effect) or certain other reaction of flare photons with the lower atmosphere can also lead to the flattening. This paper adopts the method of deriving the cutoff proposed by Gan et al. [12–14], and makes a statistical analysis on 100 flares observed by the satellite Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopy Imager (RHESSI) in 2002–2005. We found that after the albedo correction, the HXR photon spectra of 18 flares can be fitted with single powerlaw spectra, and those of 80 flares, with double power-law spectra. Besides, 21 flares can be directly interpreted with a single power-law electron spectrum plus a low energy cutoff. The range of the low energy cutoff is 20–50 keV and the mean value is approximately 30 keV. Some other possible interpretations are also investigated. 相似文献

We study a generic class of models for ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) phenomenology, in which the sources accelerate protons and nuclei with a power-law spectrum having the same index, but with different values for the maximum proton energies, distributed according to a power-law. We show that, for energies sufficiently lower than the maximum proton energy, such models are equivalent to single-type source models, with a larger effective power law index and a heavier composition at the source. We calculate the resulting enhancement of the abundance of nuclei, and find typical values of a factor 2-10 for Fe nuclei. At the highest energies, the heavy nuclei enhancement ratios become larger, and the granularity of the sources must also be taken into account. We conclude that the effect of a distribution of maximum energies among sources must be considered in order to understand both the energy spectrum and the composition of UHECRs, as measured on Earth. 相似文献
