The origin and behavior of cosmic rays in the Galaxy depends crucially upon whether the galactic magnetic field has a closed topology, as does the field of Earth, or whether a major fraction of the lines of force connect into extragalactic space. If the latter, then cosmic rays could be of extragalactic origin, or they could be of galactic origin, detained in the Galaxy by the scattering offered by hydromagnetic waves, etc. If, on the other hand, the field is largely closed, then cosmic rays cannot be of extragalactic origin (at least below 1016 eV). They must be of galactic origin and escape because their collective pressure inflates the galactic field and they push their way out.This paper examines the structure of a galactic field that opens initially into intergalactic space and, with the inclusion of turbulent diffusion, finds no possibility for maintaining a significant magnetic connection with an extragalactic field. Unless some mechanism can be found, we are forced to the conclusion that the field is closed, that cosmic rays are of galactic origin, and that cosmic rays escape from the Galaxy only by pushing their way out. 相似文献

Cosmic ray streaming instabilities at supernova shocks are discussed in the quasi-linear diffusion formalism which takes into account the feedback effect of wave growth on the cosmic ray streaming motion. In particular, the non-resonant instability that leads to magnetic field amplification in the short wavelength regime is considered. The linear growth rate is calculated using kinetic theory for a streaming distribution. We show that the non-resonant instability is actually driven by a compensating current in the background plasma. The non-resonant instability can develop into a non-linear regime generating turbulence. The saturation of the amplified magnetic fields due to particle diffusion in the turbulence is derived analytically. It is shown that the evolution of parallel and perpendicular cosmic ray pressures is predominantly determined by non-resonant diffusion. However, the saturation is determined by resonant diffusion which tends to reduce the streaming motion through pitch angle scattering. The saturated level can exceed the mean background magnetic field. 相似文献

The standard thin accretion disk model predicts that the inner regions of alpha model disks, where radiation pressure is dominant, are thermally and viscously unstable. However, observations show that the bright X-ray binaries and AGN accretion disks, corresponding to radiation-pressure thin disks, are stable. In this paper, we reconsider the linear and local instability of accretion disks in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field. In the basic equations, we consider physical quantities such as advection, thermal conduction, arbitrary viscosity, and an arbitrary cooling function also. A fifth order diffusion equation is obtained and is solved numerically. The solutions are compared to non-magnetic cases. The results show that the toroidal magnetic field can make the thermal instability in radiation pressure-dominated slim disks disappear if ? m ≥0.3. However, it causes a more thermal instability in radiation pressure alpha disks without advection. Also, we consider the thermal instability in accretion disks with other values of the viscosity and obtain a general criterion for thermal instability in the long-wavelength limit and in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field. 相似文献

The large-scale azimuth magnetic field is pumping to the bottom of the solar convective zone due to the diamagnetic action of turbulent conductive fluids. When the field at the bottom is of about 103
G, an equilibrium is established between diamagnetic pumping and buoyancy.If, in addition to the density gradient, an additional anisotropy exists (for instance, due to rotation), another mechanism of the magnetic field transfer appears, the efficiency of which greatly depends on the magnitude of the anistropy parameter. 相似文献

Numerical simulation for the dynamics of a coronal filamentary magnetic loop has been made under the assumption that the field is initially force-free and an electric resistivity suddenly increases at a given moment due to an appearance of ion sound waves, which can be excited due to a high current density if a characteristic radius r
0 of the magnetic loop is about 3 km or less in a magnetic field B
0 of 1000 G. During the resistive decay of the magnetic field a strong field-aligned electric field is created and maintained for a sufficient time to acceleratie both electrons and protons to a high energy, which is proportional to B
0/r
0 and can be 100 MeV if r
0 = 10 km and B
0 = 1000 G. If the coronal magnetic tube is composed of many such filamentary loops, the total number of accelerated electrons is consistent with the observations. 相似文献

The gravitational instability of an infinite homogeneous self-gravitating and infinitely conducting gas-particle medium is considered in the presence of suspended particles and a variable horizontal magnetic field varying in vertical direction. It is found that the Jeans's criterion of instability remains unaffected even if the effects due to suspended particles and variable horizontal magnetic field are included. 相似文献

General forms of theB-p relation are investigated in both the isothermal and the non-isothermal regions. The magnetic flux dissipation either by ambipolar diffusion or by Ohmic dissipation has been studied. The rates of heating due to the magnetic dissipation processes have been calculated in comparison with the rate of compressional heating.The magnetic field strength is derived as a function of flux/mass ratio, mass, density, and geometry of the isothermal cloud. In the non-isothermal region, the temperature is added to the above-mentioned variables.It has been found that the magnetic flux starts to dissipate via ambipolar diffusion at neutral density ofn>3×109 cm–3. Ambipolar diffusion continues effective until reaching densities ofn>1011 cm–3, where Ohmic dissipation dominates. Under some conditions, the electrons evaporate from the grain surface atn>1013 cm–3, while the ions are still adsorbed on the grain surfce. In this case, the magnetic flux loss returns to be influenced by ambipolar diffusion.The rates of heating by both Ohmic dissipation

Trajectories of solar cosmic rays have been calculated in a static ninth-order coronal magnetic field. It is found that as a result of field curvature and gradients, protons drift across the field lines at a rate of up to 200
2 deg hr–1. These drift rates are of the same order as, but somewhat smaller than, empirically derived rates. Localized enhancements of magnetic field have been inserted into the ninth-order field in order to model (in a highly idealized manner) the effects of the small-scale magnetic features which give rise to X-ray bright points. The motions of the particles in the presence of these scattering centers can be parameterized approximately by a cross-field diffusion coefficient. Our estimates of this coefficient, although crude, overlap with empirical values which have been deduced over a wide range of energies.We propose that coronal propagation of solar cosmic rays has two components. One is independent of particle velocity, and is associated with dynamic field phenomena (such as an expanding magnetic bottle): this is the only component which is important in flares which occur close to the foot-point of the Sun-Earth field line. The second component is velocity dependent, but is independent of mass, and is associated with scattering off (relatively static) magnetic inhomogeneities with scale sizes of at least 500 km: the second component contributes to coronal propagation if the flare occurs more than about 50–60 deg away from the Sun-Earth field line. 相似文献

Hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves propagating on a β-plane through a zonal flow and transverse magnetic field are examined for instability. Such instabilities may be related to same physical phenomena in the atmospheres of the Sun and planets and in the Earth's core. It is found that the onset of instability depends on the directions of the vertical and transverse wave-numbers and the zonal flow. It is also shown that as the magnetic field intensity is kept uniform instability can onset provided that the zonal flow strength does not exceed a certain factor, which depends on the parameters of the medium, and then the zonal wavenumbers that can become unstable are limited to a given range. If the basic Alfvén wave speed is allowed to vary whereas the zonal flow is kept uniform the zonal wavenumbers that can exhibit instability are again limited but the basic Alfvén wave speed can assume any value. 相似文献

The effect of proton superconductivity on the generation of a toroidal magnetic field inside a neutron star is examined. It
is shown that including the entrainment of superconducting protons by superfluid neutrons does not change the previously obtained
results. Proton superconductivity does influence the structure of the generated magnetic field since, over a time on the order
of 104–105 years, the magnetic field increases linearly with time and can exceed the first critical field for proton superconductivity.
The distribution of the stationary toroidal magnetic field inside a neutron star is also found. 相似文献

An interstellar medium consisting of regular and turbulent magnetic fields, thermal gas and cosmic rays is tested for stability in a stellar gravitational field. Cosmic rays are described by the diffusion-convection equation and the stability region of the system is determined. It is shown that the presence of cosmic rays is a stabilizing factor if the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient is sufficiently small. The dependence of the maximum growth rate of instability on the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient is qualitatively determined. 相似文献

The maximum magnetic field strength generated by Weibel-type plasma instabilities is estimated for typical conditions in the interstellar medium. The relevant kinetic dispersion relations are evaluated by conducting a parameter study both for Maxwellian and for suprathermal particle distributions showing that micro Gauss magnetic fields can be generated. It is shown that, depending on the streaming velocity and the plasma temperatures, either the longitudinal or a transverse instability will be dominant. In the presence of an ambient magnetic field, the filamentation instability is typically suppressed while the two-stream and the classic Weibel instability are retained. 相似文献

The oscillations and stability of a homogeneous self-gravitating rotating cylinder in a toroidal magnetic field are investigated. It is assumed that the field is proportional to the distance to the axis of the cylinder. We show the existence of four infinite discreta spectra of magnetic (or rotational) modes. Rotation stabilizes the magneticm=1 instability. The magnetic field decreases the growth rate of rotational instability and reduces the interval of unstable wavenumbers. Ifm=1, instability always occurs with the exception of the equipartition state. Ifm>1, the instability can be suppressed by a sufficiently large magnetic field. Resistivity decreases the growth rate of magnetic instability, but increases the growth rate of rotational instability. For zero wavenumber perturbations secular instability occurs due to the action of resistivity before a neutral point is attained where a second secular instabiliity initiates due to the action of resistivity. 相似文献

The effect of a helical magnetic field on the oscillations and the stability of a homogeneous self-gravitating rotating cylinder is investigated. The axial field has a tendency to stabilise long wave numbers and to destabilise small wave numbers so that maximum instability occurs for a finite wave number. If the toroidal and the axial component of the field have the same sign, the instability associated with the toroidal field can be removed by the rotation or by the axial field. Rotational instability is reduced but cannot removed by the field. If the components of the field have the opposite sign, rotational instability is increased. The maximum growth rate of the magnetic instability is reduced by a small axial field and tends to a finite value for large axial fields. 相似文献

Discrete rigidly rotating components (modes) of the large-scale solar magnetic field have been investigated. We have used a specially calculated basic set of functions to resolve the observed magnetic field into discrete components. This adaptive set of functions, as well as the expansion coefficients, have been found by processing a series of digitized synoptic maps of the background magnetic field over a 20-year period. As a result, dependences have been obtained which describe the spatial structure and the temporal evolution of the 27-day and 28-day rigidly rotating modes of the Sun's magnetic field.The spatial structure of the modes has been compared with simulations based on the known flux-transport equation. In the simulations, the rigidly rotating modes were regarded as stationary states of the magnetic field whose rigid rotation and stability were maintained by a balance between the emergence of magnetic flux from stationary sources located at low latitudes and the horizontal transport of flux by turbulent diffusion and poleward directed meridional flow. Under these assumptions, the structure of the modes is determined solely by the horizontal velocity field of the plasma, except for the low-latitude zone where sources of magnetic flux concentrate. We have found a detailed agreement between the simulations and the results of the data analysis, provided that the amplitude of the meridional flow velocity and the diffusion constant are equal to 9.5 m s–1 and 600 km2 s–1, respectively.The analysis of the expansion coefficients has shown that the rigidly rotating modes undergo rapid step-like variations which occur quasi-periodically with a period of about two years. These variations are caused by separate surges of magnetic flux in the photosphere, so that each new surge gives rise to a rapid replacement of old large-scale magnetic structures by newly arisen ones. 相似文献

The problem of gravitational instability of an infinite homogeneous self-gravitating medium carrying a uniform magnetic field in the presence of Hall effect has been investigated to include the effect due to rotation. The dispersion relation has been obtained. It has been found that the Jeans's criterion for the instability remains unaffected even when the effect due to rotation is considered in the presence of Hall effect carrying a uniform magnetic. 相似文献

The magnetic field in an axisymmetric pore is current free and can be represented by a flux tube with a magnetic potential of the formAJ

-kz. For a given magnetic flux the field in this pore model is uniquely defined if the magnetic pressure balances the gas pressure at two levels. For models with fluxes of 0.5–3.0 × 1020 mx the surface radius varies from 1100–2700 km (diameters of 3–8 arc-sec) and the Wilson depression is estimated at 200 km. As the flux increases, the field becomes nearly horizontal at the edge of the pore and eventually a penumbra is formed. The distinction between pores and sunspots is investigated; the critical flux is about 1020 Mx, corresponding to a radius of 1500 km.Visitor, as a member of the High Altitude Observatory Solar Project, at Sacramento Peak Observatory, Sunspot, N.M., U.S.A. 相似文献

The waves, propagating nearly transverse to the ambient magnetic field, with frequencies near the harmonics of the proton-cyclotron frequency are studied in an inhomogeneous plasma with protons having loss-cone distributions. Three types of drift cyclotron instabilities have been studied: (i) non-flute instability; (ii) B-resonant instability; and (iii) non-resonant instability. Increases of loss-cone and density gradient increase the growth rates of all three instabilities. Increases in the positive temperature gradient and t (ratio of thermal pressure of trapped protons to magnetic field pressure) have a stabilizing effect on the non-flute and non-resonant instabilities and a destabilizing effect on the B-resonant instability. The non-resonant instability has an interesting feature: a particular harmonic can be excited in two separate bands of unstable wave numbers. These instabilities can play an important role in the dynamics of the ring current and the inner edge of the plasma sheet region of the magnetosphere. The discrete turbulence generated by them would give rise to precipitation of protons on the auroral field lines, which may contribute to the excitation of diffuse aurora. These instabilities may be relevant to the observation of harmonic waves at 6R

The effect of a magnetic field on a thermal instability has been studied in a radiatively cooling region behind an interstellar shock of moderate propagation velocity ( 10 km s–1). It is shown that the presence of a magnetic field of a few microgauss is very effective in preventing the thermal instability from building-up density concentrations. In the absence of the magnetic field, the shock-induced thermal instability will amplify a pre-shock density inhomogeneity by more than an order of magnitude. However, in the field's presence, the amplified density contrast is shown to be only a factor 2. Implications for the trace of a sweeping broom in the Pleiades nebula are discussed.Paper presented at the IAU Third Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, held in Kyoto, Japan, between 30 September–6 October, 1984. 相似文献
