From the kinetic Klimontovich theory we derive the equation of radiative transfer for the case of homogeneous and stationary nonequilibrium plasma in a magnetic fiel. For the sake of simplicity we shall consider only the propagation of cyclotron-radiation in the direction of the magnetic field. Explicit expressions for the coefficients of absorption and spontaneous emission, valid also at the cyclotron frequency, will be obtained. In the final results the plasma is allowed to be weakly inhomogeneous in the z-direction. Application is made of the theory to the simple equilibrium case as a test yields the Rayleigh-Jeans formula of the black-body-radiation. 相似文献

On the basis of kinetic theory, the electron-acoustic instability is studied in a three component plasma consisting of a hot electron-beam and stationary cool electrons and ions. The transformation of the instability into the modified two-stream instability for wave propagation oblique to the confining magnetic field is also investigated. In our model both the electrons and ions are magnetized, with the beam drifting across the external magnetic field. The dependence of the growth rate on plasma parameters, such as electron-beam density, electron-beam speed, magnetic field strength and propagation angle, is examined. In addition, we investigate the effect of anisotropies in the velocity distributions of the hot electron-beam and the cool electrons on the instability growth rate. 相似文献

The instability of a linearly-polarised electromagnetic ordinary mode in counterrotating plasmas and propagating perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field caused by a counterstreaming of electrons along the latter is studied using a cold-plasma model. It is found that: (i) In the presence of either a streaming or a rotation or both, the ordinary-wave propagation is possible even for frequencies less than the plasma frequency; (ii) the Coriolis forces like the applied magnetic field stabilise the ordinary modes. 相似文献

A linearized magnetohydrodynamic formalism is used to examine the propagation in two dimensions of transverse waves in a plasma in which is embedded a curl-free magnetic field. Only waves of frequency less than the ion cyclotron frequency are considered. The behavior of a wave packet near the magnetic neutral point is deduced from the general solution to the problem, which is found in terms of Bessel functions whose order is frequency dependent. It is shown that a disturbance propagates through the medium with a group velocity that decreases from the speed of light at large distances from the neutral point to zero at the neutral point, and that the amplitudes of the velocities associated with the disturbance diverge there. It is suggested that the stagnation of waves near the origin and the deformation of the magnetic field resulting from the large plasma-flow velocities may provide a clue to the formation of the magnetic neutral sheet required by several flare theories and a theory of the acceleration of cosmic rays. 相似文献

The application of stochastic perturbation theory to the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a cold plasma with random magnetic inhomogeneities leads to a field equation for the propagation of the coherence matrix of the field. This has nine independent components since the longitudinal mode must be included. An exact solution is obtained leading to simple expressions for the Stokes parameters as a function of distance and one physical parameter characterizing the interstellar plasma. While the total polarization decays exponentially, it is found that the ratio of elliptical to linear polarization increases with propagation distance in an exponential fashion. Using current estimates of the properties of the interstellar plasma it is expected that this effect whereby the polarization ellipse opens into a circle should be clearly evident for sources at distances of the order of 10. parsec It is suggested that this phenomenon might be used as a distance scale for certain objects. 相似文献

The propagation of nonlinear three-dimensional waves in the form of gaussian beams in pulsars is examined. The defining equations
for the wave motion of a plasma with high particle velocities, high electrical conductivity, high wave frequency, and high
magnetic fields are the standard equations of magnetogas dynamics. Nonlinear, time-dependent equations are derived for relatively
small perturbations of the medium and the orders of magnitude of the parameters of motion such that all the terms in the time-dependent
equation are of the same order are written down. Various directions of the unperturbed magnetic field and of the wave propagation
which may arise during plasma motion in quasars are considered. In a number of cases a closed analytic solution can be constructed
for the propagation of axially symmetric gaussian beams.

The gravitational stability of magnetized self-gravitating two-component plasma of finite conductivity flowing through porous medium is studied. Effect of magnetic field, porosity, viscosity, finite conductivity, and neutral gas friction is considered on the stability of the system. Dispersion relations are derived from linearized equations using normal mode analysis. Longitudinal and transverse wave propagations are discussed. On the basis of Hurwitz criterion, the stability of the system is discussed. It is found that Jeans's criterion determines the stability of the system. Jeans's expression depends on the sonic speeds in both the components. For transverse wave propagation in perfectly conducting plasma. Jeans's expression is modified due to magnetic field and porosity but in case of finitely conducting plasma the Jeans's expression remains unaltered. Collisional frequency, viscosity, permeability of the porous medium have damping effect. 相似文献

For half-space (Z>0), homogeneous, collisonal and warm plasma, the expressions for fields and penetration depth δ/δ e (in the unit of ion collisionless cold plasma penetration depth, i.e., when v i =0, υ0i =) are derived and discussed numerically. It is concluded that the propagation of transverse waves is only slightly affected by the ion collisions and the applied magnetic field when the plasma frequence is greater than the wave frequency (ω pe >ω). For the case of ω pe ≤ω, the damping of the wave is not affected by the changes in the ion collision frequency and the ion temperature. However, in this case, the propagation of the wave is drastically affected by the applied magnetic field and the wave damps quickly as the magnetic field strength or the gyrofrequency (Ω e ) increases. 相似文献

The nonlinear frequency shift arising from the interaction of the quasimono- chromatic whistler-mode wave with resonant particles in an inhomogeneous plasma is derived. The modulational instability caused by this shift is investigated. The results are applied to the propagation of long-duration VLF whistler-mode signals along the magnetic field in the magnetosphere. It is shown that the modulational instability of these waves in the equatorial region leads to pulsations very similar to those observed experimentally 相似文献

The gravitational instability of an infinite homogenous rotating plasma through a porous medium in the presence of a uniform magnetic field with finite electrical and thermal conductivities has been studied. With the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem, a general dispersion relation is obtained, which is further reduced for the special cases of rotation, parallel and perpendicular to the megnetic field acting in the vertical direction. Longitudinal and transverse modes of propagation are discussed separately. It is found that the joint effect of various parameters is simply to modify the Jeans's condition of instability. The effect of finite electrical conductivity is to remove the effect of magnetic field where as the effect of thermal conductivity is to replace the adiabatic velocity of sound by the isothermal one. Rotation has its effect only along the magnetic field in the transverse mode of propagation for an inviscid plasma, thereby stabilizing the system. Porosity reduces the effect of both, the magnetic field and the rotation, in the transverse mode of propagation in both the cases of rotation. The effect of viscosity is to remove the rotational effects parallel to the magnetic field in the transverse mode of propagation. 相似文献

A one-dimensional electrostatic particle simulation of plasma streaming perpendicular to a magnetic field with nonperiodic boundary condition has been carried out. When a bulk of plasma in injected across an ambient magnetic field, a stream of neutral plasma, consisting of equal numbers of ions and electrons, polarizes, and the resulting polarization electric field gives rise to the penetration of plasma across the magnetic field so that the integrity of plasma maintains. Computer simulation demonstrates the properties of cross-field propagation of plasma stream in a magnetic field with different plasma parameters. 相似文献

Local electromagnetic and hydromagnetic noise in the Jovian magnetosphere is expected to be intense due to the variety of wave-particle interactions and plasma instabilities that may be present. In order to qualitatively assess the nature of the radio noise, configuration space analogues of the well-known Clemmow-Mullaly-Allis (CMA) propagation diagrams have been prepared, based on recent models of the magnetic field and plasma density. These diagrams identify the loci of electron and ion resonances and cutoffs where absorption and reflection of wave energy occur, and specify the propagation modes and frequency bands that are anticipated in various regions. Such information may guide the selection of wave detection instruments, influence the choice of flyby trajectories, and assist in the interpretation of measurements. 相似文献

Whistler mode wave emissions in the magnetosheath, known as lion roars, are thought to be generated by an electron cyclotron instability. Using reported satellite data we model a magnetosheath medium where lion roars emissions occurred and we study the character, absolute or convective, of the associated electron cyclotron instability. We use a linear hot plasma dispersion equation for parallel and oblique propagation to the static magnetic field and apply Derfler's frequency cusp criterion to discriminate between absolute and convective instability. Our results show that an absolute instability is compatible with experimental data. From the linear temporal growth rate we extrapolate the saturated wave magnetic field and find a good agreement with the measurements. 相似文献

The electron-cyclotron maser is believed to be the source of microwave spike bursts often observed during solar and stellar flares. Partial absorption of this radiation as it propagates through the corona can produce plasma heating and soft X-ray emission over an extended region. In this paper, the propagation and absorption of the maser radiation during solar flares are examined through linear theory and electro-magnetic particle simulations. It is shown using linear theory that strong absorption of the radiation should occur as it propagates towards the second harmonic layer where the magnetic field is half as strong as in the emission region. Only radiation propagating nearly parallel to the magnetic field in a low-temperature plasma may be able to escape under certain, limited conditions. Finite temperature effects can cause radiation propagating nearly perpendicular to the magnetic field to refract, causing enhanced absorption. Particle simulations are then used to evaluate the nonlinear response of the plasma as the maser radiation propagates through the absorption layer. It is shown that some of the maser radiation is able to escape through a process of absorption below the second harmonic of the local gyrofrequency and re-emission above it. The fraction able to escape is much higher than that predicted by linear theory, although the amount of escaping energy is only a small fraction of the incident energy. The bulk of incident energy goes into the perpendicular heating of the ambient electrons, with the rate of energy absorption showing no signs of leveling off during the simulations. This indicates that the absorption layer does not become optically thin after continuous heating by the maser radiation. A few electrons are accelerated to several tens of keVs as a result of the heating. 相似文献

The propagation of axially symmetric wave beams near the equatorial plane of a neutron star is studied. These waves are excited by a spatially bounded perturbation in the form of a transverse magnetic field applied to the inner boundary of the crust of the star. For a small ratio of the perturbed to the unperturbed magnetic field, a linear theory can be employed to solve the evolution equation. This condition is satisfied in the crust plasma of a neutron star for typical radio luminosities of pulsars. The resulting simple, exact solution in the form of linear gaussian beams exists without additional conditions on the dissipation, dispersion, and narrowness of the beams, if the velocity c
n of these waves is constant. The latter requirement is well satisfied for the plasma in neutron star crusts. The width of the gaussian beam also depends weakly on position. 相似文献

A consistent theory of excitation, stabilization, and propagation of electromagnetic oscillations in a relativistic one-dimensional electron-positron plasma flowing along curved magnetic field lines is presented. It is shown that in such a medium which is typical of the magnetosphere of a neutron star there exist unstable natural modes of oscillations. Nonlinear saturation of the instability leads to an effective energy conversion into transverse oscillations capable of leaving the magnetosphere of a pulsar. The polarization spectrum and the directivity pattern of generated radiation are determined. A comparison with observations has shown that the theory makes it possible to explain practically all the basic characteristics of observed pulsar radio emission. 相似文献

Location and parameters of a microwave millisecond spike event 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A typical microwave millisecond spike event on November 2, 1997 was observed by the radio spectrograph of National Astronomical
Observatories (NAOs) at 2.6–3.8 GHz with high time and frequency resolution. This event was also recorded by Nobeyama Radio
Polarimeters (NoRP) at 1–35 GHz and Radio Heliograph (NoRH) at 17 GHz. The source at 17 GHz is located in one foot-point of
a small bright coronal loop of YOHKOH SXT and SOHO EIT images with strong photospheric magnetic field in SOHO MDI magnetograph.
It is assumed that the electron cyclotron maser instability and gyro-resonance absorption dominate, respectively, the rising
and decay phase of the spike event. For different harmonic number of gyro-frequency or magnetic field strength, a fitting
program with free plasma parameters is used to minimize the difference between the observational and theoretical values of
the exponential growth and decay rates for a given spike. The plasma parameters at third harmonic number are more comparable
to their typical values in solar corona. Hence, it is able to provide a diagnosis for the source parameters (magnetic field,
density, and temperature), the properties of radiations (wave vector and propagation angle), and the properties of non-thermal
electrons (density, pitch angle, and energy). The results are also comparable with the diagnosis of the gyro-synchrotron radiation
model, the frequency drift rates and a dipole magnetic field model, as well as the YOHKOH SXT and SOHO MDI data.

Normal modes of a one-dimensional relativistically streaming electron–positron plasma in a superstrong magnetic field are considered, taking into account possible different bulk velocities and thermal effects. This physical picture corresponds to the plasma present on the open field lines of rotating neutron stars where the observed radio emission is generated. Various cases are considered: relativistic and non-relativistic relative streaming of cold components, and relativistically hot distributions. A distinction between superluminous and subluminous waves (which can be excited by the Cherenkov effect) is clearly stated. In the low-frequency regime the Cherenkov and cyclotron two-stream instabilities occur. Polarization of the quasi-transverse modes changes from circular for the propagation along magnetic field lines to linear for angles of propagation larger than some critical angle that depends on the relative velocity of the plasma components. 相似文献
