A method is introduced for constructing two-color maps for the in-plane component of the magnetic field of our galaxy in (R, l) and (DM, l) coordinates. It is shown that, in agreement with the standard models of the galactic magnetic field, the magnetic field in neighboring spiral arms reverses direction. However, the magnetic field in the spiral arm of Sagittarius differs significantly from the standard magnetic field model, with the major difference being that the magnetic fields in the southern and northern hemispheres are oppositely directed in the spiral arm of Sagittarius. It is proposed that this distribution of the magnetic field can be explained best by assuming that the spiral arm of Sagittarius, or, at least, a magnetic spiral arm in that region, is not symmetric with respect to the galactic plane and lies mainly in the northern hemisphere.  相似文献

本文在考虑磁光效应条件下,根据对斯托克斯参数转移方程组求得的数值解,计算了单极太阳黑子的线偏振讯号的单色像,并与美国马歇尔空间飞行中心的观测资料进行了对比,结果表明,径向黑子磁场模型给出与观测相似的单色像,而旋涡形模型导致与观测有显著差异的图像。因此可以认为径向模型更接近于实际情况。  相似文献

We investigate the dynamics of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies by performing 3D magnetohydrodynamics simulations of galactic discs subject to a spiral potential using cold gas, warm gas and a two-phase mixture of both. Recent hydrodynamic simulations have demonstrated the formation of interarm spurs as well as spiral arm molecular clouds, provided the interstellar medium model includes a cold H  i phase. We find that the main effect of adding a magnetic field to these calculations is to inhibit the formation of structure in the disc. However, provided a cold phase is included, spurs and spiral arm clumps are still present if β≳ 0.1 in the cold gas. A caveat to the two-phase calculations though is that by assuming a uniform initial distribution, β≳ 10 in the warm gas, emphasizing that models with more consistent initial conditions and thermodynamics are required. Our simulations with only warm gas do not show such structure, irrespective of the magnetic field strength.
Furthermore, we find that the introduction of a cold H  i phase naturally produces the observed degree of disorder in the magnetic field, which is again absent from simulations using only warm gas. Whilst the global magnetic field follows the large-scale gas flow, the magnetic field also contains a substantial random component that is produced by the velocity dispersion induced in the cold gas during the passage through a spiral shock. Without any cold gas, the magnetic field in the warm phase remains relatively well ordered apart from becoming compressed in the spiral shocks. Our results provide a natural explanation for the observed high proportions of disordered magnetic field in spiral galaxies and we thus predict that the relative strengths of the random and ordered components of the magnetic field observed in spiral galaxies will depend on the dynamics of spiral shocks.  相似文献

This paper is concerned with the Laplace boundary-value problem with the directional derivative, corresponding to the specific nature of measurements of the longitudinal component of the photospheric magnetic field. The boundary conditions are specified by a distribution on the sphere of the projection of the magnetic field vector into a given direction, i.e., they exactly correspond to the data of daily magnetograms distributed across the full solar disk. It is shown that the solution of this problem exists in the form of a spherical harmonic expansion, and uniqueness of this solution is proved. A conceptual sketch of numerical determination of the harmonic series coefficients is given. The field of application of the method is analyzed with regard to the peculiarities of actual data. Results derived from calculating magnetic fields from real magnetograms are presented. Finally, we present differences in results derived from extrapolating the magnetic field from a synoptic map and a full-disk magnetogram.  相似文献

We present Very Large Array H  i observations of the gas-rich, interacting spiral galaxies, NGC 1253/1253A (Arp 279). The larger of the two galaxies, NGC 1253, has a very pronounced H  i ring and well-defined spiral structure. The velocity structure of the H  i data shows a sudden change at the position of the spiral arms; we identify this change as evidence of a strong spiral shock and hence proceed to estimate the pattern speed, Ωp, of the spiral arms in NGC 1253. Assuming that the pattern speed is constant across the disc our derived value places the outer Lindblad resonance (OLR) at the position of the observed H  i ring. As an accumulation of gas is expected at the OLR when this falls within the disc of a galaxy this agreement provides independent support for the derived value of Ωp.  相似文献

It is well known that interplanetary space contains Parker's Archimedean spiral magnetic field, the components of which are respectively radial and longitudinal in the solar polar coordinates (r, θ, φ) and are intimately related to each other, depending on the solar wind velocity. In this paper, we present a general solution of the interplanetary magnetic field which is produced from time-independent sources fixed on the solar surface and contains the Parker field as a particular solution. The field is first classified broadly into two types called the φ-dependent (or nonzonal) and the φ-independent (or zonal) fields. The former field is further subdivided into two types, one is the so-called Parker type and the other is the vortex type which has no radial component. The resultant of these two fields exhibits the helical (or twisted) structure in space, tentatively introduced by Lee and Fisk. The zonal field is also subclassified into two; one is the radial-type zonal field and the other is the toroidal field. These two fields are mutually independent and therefore their resultant does not always coincide in direction with the Parker field.  相似文献

A new mechanism of sweeping out of dust grains beyond galactic disks both in the radial direction along the galactic plane and in the vertical, cross-disk direction is proposed. The mechanism is driven by the interaction of dust grains with the bisymmetric nonstationary magnetic field of the galaxy, whose lines are curved and corotate with the stellar spiral density wave responsible for the arms. We attribute the radial transfer of interstellar dust grains in the plane of galactic disks to the fact that charged dust grains are “glued” to magnetic field lines and are therefore pushed outward because of the rotation of magnetic field lines and their tilt with respect to the radial direction parallel to the disk plane. In addition, dust is swept out vertically in the cross-disk direction because of the drift motion in crossed magnetic and gravitational fields (both are parallel to the galactic plane). Numerical computations of the motion of dust grains in real magneto-gravitational fields with the allowance for the drag force from interstellar gas show that the time scale of dust grain transport beyond galactic disks is on the order of 1 Gyr or shorter.  相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of magnetic fields on the dynamics of magnetized filamentary molecular clouds.We suppose there is a filament with cylindrical symmetry and two components of axial and toroidal magnetic fields.In comparison to previous works,the novelty in the present work involves a similarity solution that does not define a function of the magnetic fields or density.We consider the effect of the magnetic field on the collapse of the filament in both axial and toroidal directions and show that the magnetic field has a braking effect,which means that the increasing intensity of the magnetic field reduces the velocity of collapse.This is consistent with other studies.We find that the magnetic field in the central region tends to be aligned with the filament axis.Also,the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field depend on the magnitude and direction of the initial magnetic field in the outer region.Moreover,we show that more energy dissipation from the filament causes a rise in the infall velocity.  相似文献

Faraday rotation data on 40 pulsars are used in a detailed study of the magnetic field and its fluctuations in the direction of the spiral arm of Sagittarius. These results mostly agree with standard models for the galactic magnetic field. A magnetic field on the order of 3.2 G is directed from galactic longitude l 0=55° (toward the sun). However, an asymmetry has been found in the degrees of rotation relative to a plane lying in the southern hemisphere parallel to the galactic plane and at a distance of 50-60 pc from it. All the pulsars with measures of dispersion greater than 30 pc·cm-3 and lying to the north of this plane have positive measures of rotation which increase linearly with distance, while the pulsars lying to the south of this plane have unusually absolutely low negative measures of rotation. We propose that the spiral arm of Sagittarius lies entirely to the north of this plane, while the negative measures of rotation of the pulsars below this plane are caused by the magnetic field of the halo of the southern hemisphere of the galaxy. The magnetic field in the arm of Sagittarius is regular to a great extent and its fluctuating component is roughly half the regular component.  相似文献

The arguments against the magnetic alternative given by Katz (1994) are discussed. Our conclusion is that the major problem regarding this alternative to dark matter is the flaring of the disk as suggested by Cuddeford and Binney (1993). We propose that the study of the equilibrium in the vertical direction should be carried out in dwarf spirals. Magnetic tension could alter the rotation curve of spiral galaxies but is not able to eliminate the necessity of dark matter. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Of the various proposed mechanisms to maintain spiral arms in spiral galaxies, three have been supported by observations, statistics, or theories (bar, companion, extended solid-body rotation curve). It is shown here that in the presence of a central bar or oval distirtion to maintain spiral arms, the global magnetic field lines also follow the spiral shape of the arms. Excluding then barred galaxies, it is confirmed that in the presence of a companion galaxy to maintain spiral arms, the global magnetic lines in a spiral galaxy will either follow thespiral shape of the arms (when tides are larger), or else will follow thering shape of the orbit of matter crossing spiral arms (when tides are small). In the presence of an extended solid-body rotation curve to maintain spiral arms within the solid-body rotation region, the global magnetic field lines also follow the spiral shape of the arms.The results above do not favour the hypothesis that a weak intergalactic magnetic field could have been amplified enough by gravitational contraction of a protogalaxy to give rise to the observed strength of galactic magnetic fields. On the contrary, leakage of galactic magnetic fields into intergalactic/cosmological space is expected.  相似文献

This paper deals with the conception that two-dimensional turbulence is present in a sunspot where the magnetic field is strong. This conception is based upon the incapacity of even a strong magnetic field to influence an arbitrary two-dimensional turbulence, if the magnetic field is parallel to a constant direction and the motion occurs in planes orthogonal to it. It is, moreover, shown that such a two-dimensional turbulence provides for a turbulent decay of the magnetic field. The decay rate possesses nearly the same dependence on the scales as for three-dimensional turbulence. Finally, the turbulent decay is studied by investigating a simple model and comparing the results with those deduced by Bumba from the observed decay of sunspot groups areas. By means of our conception even a good quantitative agreement is stated.  相似文献

Mars Express (MEX) does not carry its own magnetometer which complicates interpretation of ASPERA-3/MEX ion measurements. The direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is especially important because it, among other things, determines the direction of the convective electric field and orientation of the cross tail current sheet and tail lobes. In this paper we present a case study to show the properties of the magnetic field near Mars in a quasi-neutral hybrid (QNH) model at the orbits where the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) has made measurements, present a method to derive the IMF clock angle by comparing fields in a hybrid model and the direction of the magnetic field measured by MGS by deriving the IMF clock angle. We also use H+ ring velocity distribution observations upstream of the bow shock measured by the IMA/ASPERA-3 instrument on board MEX spacecraft. These observations are used to indirectly provide the orientation of the IMF. We use a QNH model (HYB-Mars) where ions are modeled as particles while electrons form a mass-less charge neutralizing fluid. We found that the direct MGS and non-direct IMA observations of the orientation magnetic field vectors in non-crustal magnetic field regions are consistent with the global magnetic field draping pattern predicted by the global model.  相似文献

The equations of motion of all relevant parameters of Alfvén waves propagating from the sun outwardly into the expanding interplanetary medium are discussed for the case of a quiet, ideal, isotropic, one-fluid solar wind plasma. It is found that the frequency of the wave reamains constant, while the wave vector and the amplitudes depend, in general, on the evolution of the background medium and on the angle between the wave vector and the interplanetary magnetic field. This latter dependence cancels approximately for the evolution of the amplitudes in the case of a pure, overall spiral magnetic field. It is shown that in this case the results of earlier discussions can be derived by less decisive restrictions.  相似文献

Interstellar magnetic fields are strong: up to 25μG in spiralarms and 40μG in nuclear regions.In the spiral galaxy NGC 6946 the average magnetic energy densityexceeds that of the thermal gas. Magnetic fields control the evolution of denseclouds and possibly the global star formation efficiency in galaxies.Gas flows and shocks in spiral arms and bars are modified by magneticfields. Magnetic forces instar-forming circumnuclear regions are able to drive mass inflow towardsthe active nucleus. Magnetic fields are essential for the propagationof cosmic rays and the formation of galactic winds and halos.  相似文献

The curvature of thin coronal rays was measured during their passage above the solar polar regions. We found that the coronal rays were convex in the direction of their motion along the position angle. The pattern illustrates clearly Parker's idea on the spiral interplanetary magnetic field formation. However, the amount of deviation from radial direction was found to be 2–3 times larger than that estimated using the simple relation obtained from the conservation of angular momentum of a gas jet emitted by a rotating body. We discuss a possible reason for the discrepancy.  相似文献

Tangential discontinuities in the solar wind   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
This paper considers six discontinuity surfaces which were observed by magnetometers on 3 spacecraft in the solar wind. It is shown that the actual surface orientations, determined from the measured time delays and solar wind speed, are consistent with the theoretical orientations which were computed from the relation , where is the normal to the surface of a hydromagnetic tangential discontinuity across which the magnetic field direction changes from to . The plasma and magnetic field data for these discontinuities are consistent with the pressure balance condition, and the magnetic field vectors in the associated current sheets are parallel to the discontinuity surface, as required theoretically. The 6 discontinuity surfaces extended without much distortion over ∼ 0.002 AU. A seventh surface is discussed which satisfies the condition but which extended without much distortion over 0.01 AU. This latter is not a typical surface, however, and its curvature is larger than average. Most of the surfaces tended to lie along the spiral direction, but one was nearly perpendicular to the spiral direction.  相似文献

Statistical parameters of the ISM driven by thermal energy injectionsfrom supernova explosions have been obtained from 3D, nonlinear,magnetohydrodynamic, shearing-box simulations for spiral arm andinterarm regions. The density scale height obtained for the interarm regionsis 50% larger than within the spiral arms because of thehigher gas temperature. The filling factorof the hot gas is also significantly larger between the armsand depends sensitively on magnetic field strength.  相似文献
