论文摘要
旋转的脉冲星通过稳步释放出充满活力的风向超新星残留或星际培养基的内部冲击波内部来创建周围的脉冲星风星云(PWN)。在PWN的终止冲击时,压缩了以po频率为主的相对论条纹风。磁重新连接是由压缩驱动的,并将磁能转化为粒子动能,并加速颗粒到高能。我们进行粒子中的粒子(PIC)模拟以研究冲击结构以及能量转换和粒子加速机制。通过分析粒子轨迹,我们发现许多颗粒是通过Fermi型机制加速的。电子和正电子的最大能量可以达到数百个TEV。
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or interstellar medium. At the termination shock of a PWN, the Poynting-flux-dominated relativistic striped wind is compressed. Magnetic reconnection is driven by the compression and converts magnetic energy into particle kinetic energy and accelerating particles to high energies. We carrying out particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the shock structure as well as the energy conversion and particle acceleration mechanism. By analyzing particle trajectories, we find that many particles are accelerated by Fermi-type mechanism. The maximum energy for electrons and positrons can reach hundreds of TeV.
