Analytical Study of Supernova Remnant Non-Stationary Expansions

We study analytically the Rayleigh–Taylor instability in expanding supernova gas shell. The instability appears at the inner shell surface accelerated by blowing pulsar wind. The most dangerous perturbations correspond to wavelengths comparable to the shell thickness. We analyze the fragility of the supernova remnant shell in function of the initial perturbation amplitude and the shell thickness.     

脉冲星与超新星遗迹成协的候选体

从所有已被提出和发现的230多颗超新星遗迹和1300多颗脉冲星中，总结出一个共50对脉冲星与超新星遗迹成协候选体的样本．其中至少20对因为环绕脉冲星的脉冲星风云已被探测到，其成协性应该是真实的。结合近来的观测结果，对导致这种成协对缺失现象的各种因素进行了讨论，尤其深入地讨论了这个样本中有代表性的3个很可能成协的脉冲星与超新星遗迹对。     

Interferometric Measurements of the Interaction of Two Plasmas in a Transverse Magnetic Field

Presented are interferometric results of the interaction of two plasmas without and with a magnetic field. This study is based on the collision-free interaction of two millimetre-scale, counter-streaming plasmas – a proposed experimental simulation of shock production in a supernova remnant. This collision-free interaction is compared with a separate set of experiments with an external 7.5 T magnetic field applied. The interaction dynamics are inferred from spatially and temporally resolved electron density measurements, and the effect of the magnetic field on the plasma interaction is discussed.     

星际无碰撞激波的Balmer双线结构

Balmer发射线是研究星际无碰撞激波物理性质的重要途径之一.星际无碰撞激波的Balmer发射线包括宽线和窄线两个明显的成分.通常认为,这种双线成分是与激波联系在一起的,宽线产生于激波前慢中性粒子与激波后高能质子的电荷交换,反映了激波后粒子的热运动状况,而窄线则产生于激波前慢中性粒子的激发,反映了激波前粒子的热运动状况.但是,近来更细致的观测和理论计算表明,超新星遗迹中Balmer发射线的双线结构很可能还要受到其他因素的影响,并且与激波速度和电子-质子的热平衡有着密切的关系.该文将讨论影响Balmer双线结构的各种因素,并讨论Balmer双线结构在超新星遗迹研究中的一些应用.     

Excitation of Electromagnetic Flute Modes in the Process of Interaction of Plasma Flow with Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

Laboratory experiments on the interaction of a plasma flow, produced by laser ablation of a solid target with the inhomogeneous magnetic field from the Zebra pulsed power generator demonstrated the presence of strong wave activity in the region of the flow deceleration. The deceleration of the plasma flow can be interpreted as the appearance of a gravity-like force. The drift due to this force can lead to the excitation of flute modes. In this paper a linear dispersion equation for the excitation of electromagnetic flute-type modes with plasma and magnetic field parameters, corresponding to the ongoing experiments is examined. Results indicate that the wavelength of the excited flute modes strongly depends on the strength of the external magnetic field. For magnetic field strengths ∼0.1 MG the excited wavelengths are larger than the width of the laser ablated plasma plume and cannot be observed during the experiment. But for magnetic field strengths ∼1 MG the excited wavelengths are much smaller and can then be detected.

Impact of small bodies on to discs around compact objects — II. Interaction with the disc

We consider a system consisting of a neutron star surrounded by a disc of dense degenerate matter, and study the sequence of events following the impact of comets on to the disc. The direct signature of the impact event is a short burst of high-energy radiation (X-rays to UV, depending on the impact location) emitted from the bubble of hot gas created at the impact site. We assume that the bubble is confined by the magnetic field of the central neutron star. Part of the bubble matter may be channelled along magnetic field lines and rain down on the polar caps. The surface density at the neutron star surface may be sufficient to initiate a runaway thermonuclear reaction. These X-rays or the direct effect of the transferred plasma crossing charge-depleted regions in the outer magnetosphere may re-ignite an otherwise dead pulsar.
