The processes of ion acceleration and Alfvén wave generation by accelerated particles at the Earth’s bow shock are studied within a quasi-linear approach. Steady-state ion and wave spectra are shown to be established in a time of 0.3–4 h, depending on the background level of Alfvénic turbulence in the solar wind. The Alfvén waves produced by accelerated ions are confined within the frequency range 10?2–1 Hz and their spectral peak with a wave amplitude βB ～ B comparable to the interplanetary magnetic field strength B corresponds to the frequency v = (2–3) × 10?2 Hz. The high-frequency part of the wave spectrum (v > 0.2 Hz) undergoes damping by thermal ions. The calculated spectra of the accelerated ions and the Alfvén waves generated by them reproduce the main features observed in experiments. 相似文献

For the case of Tycho’s supernova remnant (SNR) we present the relation between the blast wave and contact discontinuity radii
calculated within the nonlinear kinetic theory of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in SNRs. It is demonstrated that these radii
are confirmed by recently published Chandra measurements which show that the observed contact discontinuity radius is so close
to the shock radius that it can only be explained by efficient CR acceleration which in turn makes the medium more compressible.
Together with the recently determined new value E
sn=1.2×1051 erg of the SN explosion energy this also confirms our previous conclusion that a TeV γ-ray flux of (2–5)×10−13 erg/(cm2 s) is to be expected from Tycho’s SNR. Chandra measurements and the HEGRA upper limit of the TeV γ-ray flux together limit the source distance d to 3.3≤d≤4 kpc. 相似文献

Nonlinear kinetic theory of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) is used to investigate the properties
of Kepler’s SNR and, in particular, to predict the γ-eay spectrum expected from this SNR. Observations of the nonthermal radio and X-ray emission spectra as well as theoretical
constraints for the total supernova (SN) explosion energy E
sn are used to constrain the astronomical and particle acceleration parameters of the system. Under the assumption that Kepler’s
SN is a type Ia SN we determine for any given explosion energy E
sn and source distance d the mass density of the ambient interstellar medium (ISM) from a fit to the observed SNR size and expansion speed. This makes
it possible to make predictions for the expected γ-eay flux. Exploring the expected distance range we find that for a typical explosion energy E
sn=1051 erg the expected energy flux of TeV γ-rays varies from 2×10−11 to 10−13 erg/(cm2 s) when the distance changes from d=3.4 kpc to 7 kpc. In all cases the γ-eay emission is dominated by π
0-decay γ-rays due to nuclear CRs. Therefore Kepler’s SNR represents a very promising target for instruments like H.E.S.S., CANGAROO
and GLAST. A non-detection of γ-rays would mean that the actual source distance is larger than 7 kpc. 相似文献

The expression for the cutoff momentum of CR, accelerated by the supernova blast wave is derived. Geometrical factors (finite increase with time shock size, slowing shock speed and CR adiabatic effect in the downstream region) are shown to determine the value of the cutoff momentum. These factors are stronger than the time restriction and have a significant dynamical effect: the supernova blast wave cannot be completely smoothed by the CR backreaction even at very high Mach numbers. The shock transition always includes a pure gas subshock which strongly influences CR acceleration and shock evolution. It is shown that maximum particle energy achievable during CR acceleration by supernova shock can be as large as max ≈ Z × 1015 eV, if the diffusion coefficient is as small as the Bohm limit. Due to nonlinear effect and adiabatic heating in the downstream region in the free expansion phase the actual value of max is an order of magnitude higher than that from previous estimates based on the plane-wave consideration and is high enough to consider CR diffusive acceleration in SNRs as a main source of galactic CR at least up to the knee energy 3 × 1015 eV. 相似文献

We investigate the role of nonlinear Alfvén-wave interaction in the diffusive shock acceleration of solar-wind ions at the Earth’s bow shock. Allowance for the nonlinear wave interaction through induced scattering and two-quanta absorption at plasma parameters β≲0.1 is shown to limit the Alfvén-wave amplitude δB to δB≲B, whereas the quasi-linear approach predicts the generation of waves with amplitudes much larger than the diffusive shock magnetic field strength B. The nonlinear interaction results in spectral wave energy transfer to lower frequencies, which yields a significant increase in the particle acceleration rate. 相似文献

The solar cosmic ray (SCR) acceleration by the shocks driven by coronal mass ejections is studied by taking into account the generation of Alfvén waves by accelerated particles. Detailed numerical calculations of the SCR spectra produced during the shock propagation through the solar corona have been performed within a quasi-linear approach with a realistic set of coronal parameters. The resultant SCR energy spectrum is shown to include a power-law part N ∝ ?-γ with an index γ = 1.7–3.5 that ends with an exponential tail. The maximum SCR energy lies within the range ? max = 0.01–10 GeV, depending on the shock velocity V S = 750–2500 km s?1. The decrease of the shock Alfvénic Mach number due to the increase Alfvén velocity with heliocentric distance r leads to the end of the efficient SCR acceleration when the shock size reaches R S ≈ 4R ⊙. In this case, the diffusive SCR propagation begins to exceed the shock velocity; as a result, SCRs escape intensively from the shock vicinity. The self-consistent generation of Alfvén waves by accelerated particles is accompanied by a steepening of the particle spectrum and an increase of their maximum energy. Comparison of the calculated SCR fluxes expected near the Earth’s orbit with the available experimental data shows that the theory explains the main observed features. 相似文献

We investigated the acceleration of solar cosmic rays (SCRs) by the shock waves produced by coronal mass ejections. We performed detailed numerical calculations of the SCR spectra produced during the shock propagation in the solar corona in terms of a model based on the diffusive transport equation using a realistic set of physical parameters for the corona. The resulting SCR energy spectrum N(ε) ∝ ε?γ exp [? (ε/εmax)α] is shown to include a power-law portion with an index γ?2 that ends with an exponential tail with α ? 2.5 ? β, where β is the spectral index of the background Alfvén turbulence. The maximum SCR energy lies within the range εmax = 1–300 MeV, depending on the shock velocity. Because of the steep spectrum of the SCRs, their backreaction on the shock structure is negligible. The decrease in the Alfvén Mach number of the shock due to the increase in the Alfvén velocity with heliocentric distance r causes the efficient SCR acceleration to terminate when the shock reaches a distance of r = 2–3R⊙. Since the diffusive SCR propagation in this case is faster than the shock expansion, SCR particles intensively escape from the shock vicinity. A comparison of the calculated SCR fluxes expected near the Earth’s orbit with available experimental data indicates that the theory satisfactorily explains all of the main observed features. 相似文献

Based on the event observed by ISEE 3 near the Earth’s orbit at 01:21 UT on April 5, 1979, we investigate the diffusive shock acceleration of ions and the generation of Alfvén waves by accelerated particles near the quasi-parallel parts of interplanetary shock fronts within a quasi-linear approach. The theory is shown to give an excessively high level of Alfvén wave generation by accelerated particles at significant deflection angles of the interplanetary magnetic field from the normal to the shock front. At the Earth’s orbit, the Alfve´ n waves produced by accelerated ions are confined within the frequency range 5 × 10?2?0.5 Hz, and their spectral peak with a wave amplitude δB ≤ B corresponds to a frequency ν = (1?2)×10?2 Hz. The high-frequency part of the wave spectrum (ν ≥ 0.5 Hz) is subjected to damping on thermal protons. The calculated spectra of the accelerated ions and Alfvén waves generated by them reproduce the main features observed in experiments. 相似文献
