高能中微子和极高能宇宙线起源天体的理论研究

极高能宇宙线一般指来自地外的能量高于1018电子伏特(eV)的高能质子与原子核,其起源的研究一直是高能天体物理和粒子天体物理领域的热点问题.近年随着一些大型探测器(如Pierre Auger天文台)的运行,极高能宇宙线的研究取得很大进展.然而由于极高能宇宙线事例相对较少及其在从源到地球传播过程中的复杂性(如与宇宙微波背景辐射以及磁场的作用),需要通过观测这些宇宙线在强子反应中产生的次级粒子(如中微子)来获得其起源的额外信息.最近,位于南极的IceCube中微子天文台探测到了54个能量分布在60TeV{3PeV内的中微子事例,开启了高能中微子天文学的新时代.在本文中,我们研究了高能中微子、极高能宇宙线的天体物理起源以及它们之间可能的联系.

旋转射电暂现源物理参数的统计研究

旋转射电暂现源被发现已有将近20yr,但是其具体的起源仍然不够清楚.该文通过收集文献共找到182颗已发现的旋转射电暂现源,更新了旋转射电暂现源数据库,并对旋转射电暂现源的空间位置、周期、周期导数、色散量、距离、特征年龄、特征磁场、法拉第旋转量以及线偏振度等观测参数进行统计分析,发现除了法拉第旋转量,其他所有以上观测参数的对数均服从正态分布.与脉冲星相比,旋转射电暂现源的空间位置和脉冲星相近,周期和周期导数以及表面磁场的平均值比普通脉冲星略大,特征年龄和法拉第旋转量位于正常脉冲星范围,自转能损率、色散值以及距离比脉冲星更小.这些结果对于研究旋转射电暂现源的物理起源问题具有重要意义.

XTE J1550-564 2001年“迷你爆发”的X射线能谱研究

黑洞X射线暂现源的迷你爆发是一类峰值光度较低、持续时间较短的爆发.由于观测数据较少,其物理机制仍不清楚.利用RXTE (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer)卫星从2001年1月28日到3月14日的数据,研究了黑洞X射线暂现源XTE J1550–564 2001年迷你爆发的X射线能谱特性.发现在本次迷你爆发中, XTE J1550–564的X射线能谱可以用幂律谱很好地拟合.整个爆发的硬度强度图不是标准的q型,而是一直保持在最右侧.此外,还分析了此次爆发谱指数Γ与未吸收的2–10 keV能段的X射线流量F_(2–10 keV)的相关性,发现Γ-F_(2–10 keV)呈反相关关系,且谱指数Γ∈[1.35, 1.72].上述结果表明2001年这次爆发一直处于低/硬态,它的X射线辐射主要来自于辐射低效的吸积模式,如ADAF(Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow).     

Extreme Ultraviolet Emission Lines of ca xv in Solar and Laboratory Spectra

New R-matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates in Caxv are used to derive theoretical electron density diagnostic emission line intensity ratios involving 2s ²2p ²–2s2p ³ transitions, specifically R ₁=I(208.70 Å)/I(200.98 Å), R ₂=I(181.91 Å)/I(200.98 Å), and R ₃=I(215.38 Å)/I(200.98 Å), for a range of electron temperatures (T _e=10^6.4–10^6.8 K) and densities (N _e=10⁹–10¹³ cm^–3) appropriate to solar coronal plasmas. Electron densities deduced from the observed values of R ₁, R ₂, and R ₃ for several solar flares, measured from spectra obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A spectrograph on board Skylab, are found to be consistent. In addition, the derived electron densities are in excellent agreement with those determined from line ratios in Caxvi, which is formed at a similar electron temperature to Caxv. These results provide some experimental verification for the accuracy of the line ratio calculations, and hence the atomic data on which they are based. A set of eight theoretical Caxv line ratios involving 2s ²2p ²–2s2p ³ transitions in the wavelength range 140–216 Å are also found to be in good agreement with those measured from spectra of the TEXT tokamak plasma, for which the electron temperature and density have been independently determined. This provides additional support for the accuracy of the theoretical line ratios and atomic data.     

Si IX Emission Lines in Spectra Obtained with the Solar euv Research Telescope and Spectrograph (Serts)

Theoretical electron-density-sensitive emission line ratios involving 2s ²2p ²–2s2p ³ transitions in Si?ix between 223 and 350 Å are presented. A comparison of these with an extensive dataset of solar-active-region, quiet-Sun, subflare and off-limb observations, obtained during rocket flights by the Solar EUV Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS), reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment. This provides support for the accuracy of the line-ratio diagnostics, and hence the atomic data on which they are based. In particular, the density-sensitive intensity ratio I(258.10 Å)/I(349.87 Å) offers an especially promising diagnostic for studies of coronal plasmas, as it involves two reasonably strong emission lines and varies by more than an order of magnitude over the useful density range of 10⁹–10¹¹ cm^?3. The 2s ²2p ^2 1 S ₀–2s2p ^3 1 P ₁ transition at 259.77 Å is very marginally identified for the first time in the SERTS database, although it has previously been detected in solar flare observations.

Rotating self-gravitating fluid spheroid with a magnetic field

The equilibrium of a self-gravitating fluid spheroid is examined in the presence of a rotation and a poloidal magnetic field. It is shown that ‘true equilibrium’ allows only rigid rotation for a spheroid of a small eccentricity.     

Equilibrium configuration of the magnetosphere of a star loaded with accreted magnetized mass

Equilibrium configuration of the magnetosphere of a star loaded by the gravitationally accreted plasma having its own magnetic field is investigated. Axisymmetry around the star’s magnetic axis is assumed for simplicity. It is seen that two distinct configurations appear for the cases of parallel and antiparallel magnetic field of the accreted plasma with respect to the star’s magnetic moment. If the external field is antiparallel to the star’s magnetic moment, the stellar magnetosphere is confined within a spherical region surrounded by the external field with a separatric surface between them. This is an extension of the case of the spherical accretion of non-magnetic plasma dealt with thus far in connection with the mass accretion by the degenerate stars in X-ray binaries. It is noticed that the mass slides down along the field lines to the point closest to the star and is stratified hydrostatically in equilibrium to form a disk in the equatorial plane. The mass loading compresses the sphere as a whole in this case. If, on the other hand, the external field is parallel to the star’s magnetic moment, there appears a ring of magnetic neutral point in the equatorial plane. Polar field is open and extends to infinity while the low-latitude field is closed and faces the external field of opposite polarity across the neutral point. The increase of the loaded mass in this case causes a shrink of the closed field region, and the open polar flux is increased. Therefore, the transition between equilibria with small and large amount of the loaded mass requires the reconnection of magnetic lines of force, and the reconnection of the flux through the magnetic neutral ring is proposed as the mechanism of the steady or the intermittent mass leakage like the ones postulated for some X-ray bursters.

Planetary ENA Imaging: Venus and a comparison with Mars

We present simulated images of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) produced in charge exchange collisions between solar wind protons and neutral atoms in the exosphere of Venus, and make a comparison with earlier results for Mars. The images are found to be dominated by two local maxima. One produced by charge exchange collisions in the solar wind, upstream of the bow shock, and the other close to the dayside ionopause. The simulated ENA fluxes at Venus are lower than those obtained in similar simulations of ENA images at Mars at solar minimum conditions, and close to the fluxes at Mars at solar maximum. Our numerical study shows that the ENA flux decreases with an increasing ionopause altitude. The influence of the Venus nighttime hydrogen bulge on the ENA emission is small.     

Imaging properties of a photoheliograph with a Lyot plane shutter

In a photoheliograph the shutter (a slit moving with constant velocity) may be placed in the Lyot plane, where the image of the objective is formed by the enlarging lens. This degrades the frequency response function of the objective, depending on the width of the slit. Calculated frequency response functions for a ideal objective and various slit widths are presented.
