The properties of magnetohydrodynamic waves and instabilities of laboratory and space plasmas are determined by the overall
magnetic confinement geometry and by the detailed distributions of the density, pressure, magnetic field, and background velocity
of the plasma. Consequently, measurement of the spectrum of MHD waves (MHD spectroscopy) gives direct information on the internal
state of the plasma, provided a theoretical model is available to solve the forward as well as the inverse spectral problems.
This terminology entails a program, viz. to improve the accuracy of our knowledge of plasmas, both in the laboratory and in
space. Here, helioseismology (which could be considered as one of the forms of MHD spectroscopy) may serve as a luminous example.
The required study of magnetohydrodynamic waves and instabilities of both laboratory and space plasmas has been conducted
for many years starting from the assumption of static equilibrium. Recently, there is a outburst of interest for plasma states
where this assumption is violated. In fusion research, this interest is due to the importance of neutral beam heating and
pumped divertor action for the extraction of heat and exhaust needed in future tokamak reactors. Both result in rotation of
the plasma with speeds that do not permit the assumption of static equilibrium anymore. In astrophysics, observations in the
full range of electromagnetic radiation has revealed the primary importance of plasma flows in such diverse situations as
coronal flux tubes, stellar winds, rotating accretion disks, and jets emitted from radio galaxies. These flows have speeds
which substantially influence the background stationary equilibrium state, if such a state exists at all. Consequently, it
is important to study both the stationary states of magnetized plasmas with flow and the waves and instabilities they exhibit.
We will present new results along these lines, extending from the discovery of gaps in the continuous spectrum and low-frequency
Alfvén waves driven by rotation to the nonlinear flow patterns that occur when the background speed traverses the full range
from sub-slow to super-fast.

The differences between the composition of Galactic cosmic rays and that of the interstellar medium are manifold, and they
contain a wealth of information about the varying processes that created them. These differences reveal much about the initial
mixing of freshly synthesized matter, the chemistry and differentiation of the interstellar medium, and the mechanisms and
environment of ion injection and acceleration. Here we briefly explore these processes and show how they combine to create
the peculiar, but potentially universal, composition of the cosmic rays and how measurements of the composition can provide
a unique measure of the mixing ratio of the fresh supernova ejecta and the old interstellar medium in this initial phase of
interstellar mixing.
In particular, we show that the major abundance differences between the cosmic rays and the average interstellar medium can
all result from cosmic ray ion injection by sputtering and scattering from fast refractory oxide grains in a mix of fresh
supernova ejecta and old interstellar material. Since the bulk of the Galactic supernovae occur in the cores of superbubbles,
the bulk of the cosmic rays are accelerated there out of such a mix. We show that the major abundance differences all imply
a mixing ratio of the total masses of fresh supernova ejecta and old interstellar material in such cores is roughly 1 to 4.
That means that the metallicity of ∼3 times solar, since the ejecta has a metallicity of ∼8 times that of the present interstellar
medium. 相似文献

The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse almost perpendicular to the ecliptic plane (inclination
79°, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in 1992. The in situ dust detector
on board continuously measured interstellar dust grains with masses up to 10−13 kg, penetrating deep into the solar system. The flow direction is close to the mean apex of the Sun’s motion through the
solar system and the grains act as tracers of the physical conditions in the local interstellar cloud (LIC). While Ulysses
monitored the interstellar dust stream at high ecliptic latitudes between 3 and 5 AU, interstellar impactors were also measured
with the in situ dust detectors on board Cassini, Galileo and Helios, covering a heliocentric distance range between 0.3 and
3 AU in the ecliptic plane. The interstellar dust stream in the inner solar system is altered by the solar radiation pressure
force, gravitational focussing and interaction of charged grains with the time varying interplanetary magnetic field. We review
the results from in situ interstellar dust measurements in the solar system and present Ulysses’ latest interstellar dust
data. These data indicate a 30° shift in the impact direction of interstellar grains w.r.t. the interstellar helium flow direction,
the reason of which is presently unknown. 相似文献

This review is devoted to ponderomotive forces and their importance for the acceleration of charged particles by electromagnetic
waves in space plasmas. Ponderomotive forces constitute time-averaged nonlinear forces acting on a media in the presence of
oscillating electromagnetic fields. Ponderomotive forces represent a useful analytical tool to describe plasma acceleration.
Oscillating electromagnetic fields are also related with dissipative processes, such as heating of particles. Dissipative
processes are, however, left outside these discussions. The focus will be entirely on the (conservative) ponderomotive forces
acting in space plasmas.
The review consists of seven sections. In Section 1, we explain the rational for using the auxiliary ponderomotive forces
instead of the fundamental Lorentz force for the study of particle motions in oscillating fields. In Section 2, we present
the Abraham, Miller, Lundin–Hultqvist and Barlow ponderomotive forces, and the Bolotovsky–Serov ponderomotive drift. The hydrodynamic,
quasi-hydrodynamic, and ‘`test-particle’' approaches are used for the study of ponderomotive wave-particle interaction. The
problems of self-consistency and regularization are discussed in Section 3. The model of static balance of forces (Section
4) exemplifies the interplay between thermal, gravitational and ponderomotive forces, but it also introduces a set of useful
definitions, dimensionless parameters, etc. We analyze the Alfvén and ion cyclotron waves in static limit with emphasis on
the specific distinction between traveling and standing waves. Particular attention has been given to the impact of traveling
Alfvén waves on the steady state anabatic wind that blows over the polar regions (Section~5). We demonstrate the existence
of a wave-induced cold anabatic wind. We also show that, at a critical point, the ponderomotive acceleration of the wind is
a factor of 3 greater than the thermal acceleration. Section 6 demonstrates various manifestations of ponderomotive forces
in the Earth's magnetosphere, for instance the ionospheric plasma acceleration and outflow. The polar wind and the auroral
density cavities are considered in relation to results from the Freja and Viking satellites. The high-altitude energization
and escape of ions is discussed. The ponderomotive anharmonicity of standing Alfvén waves is analyzed from ground based ULF
wave measurements. The complexity of the many challenging problems related with plasma processes near the magnetospheric boundaries
is discussed in the light of recent Cluster observations. At the end of Section 6, we consider the application of ponderomotive
forces to the diversity of phenomena on the Sun, in the interstellar environment, on newborn stars, pulsars and active galaxies.
We emphasize the role of forcing of magnetized plasmas in general and ponderomotive forcing in particular, presenting some
simple conceivable scenarios for massive outflow and jets from astrophysical objects. 相似文献

Using Chandra X-ray, Spitzer mid-IR, and 1.5 GHz radio data, we examine the spatial structure of SNR 3C 391. The X-ray surface brightness is generally anti-correlative with the IR and radio brightness. The multiband data clearly exhibit a heart-shaped morphology and show the multi-shell structure of the remnant. A previously unseen thin brace-like shell on the south detected at 24 μm is projected outside the radio border and confines the southern faint X-ray emission. The leading 24 μm knot on the SE boundary appears to be partly surrounded by soft X-ray emitting gas. The mid-IR emission is dominated by the contribution of the shocked dust grains, which may have been partly destroyed by sputtering. 相似文献

Shocks are found throughout the heliosphere, wherever supersonic (or super-magnetosonic) flows encounter obstacles or other,
slowly moving, media. Although some of the physical parameters are in different regimes, all shocks heat and decelerate the
media incident upon them. Most shocks must propagate in a collisionless plasma, thereby adding importance to the particle
interactions with the electromagnetic fields, and enabling some particles to be accelerated to high energies. This paper explores
the commonalities, and differences, in shocks throughout the heliosphere, and concentrates on the role of shock microstructure
in effecting the shock transition and in governing the resulting energy partition amongst the constituent species. Shocks
play a significant role in the solar-terrestrial chain. 相似文献

A cosmic dust detector is currently being developed using a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) element. The characteristics of the multilayered detector (MD), which was composed of one hundred PZT disks, were investigated by bombarding it with hypervelocity iron particles supplied by a Van de Graaff accelerator. It was confirmed that there was a linear relationship between the signal amplitude observed from MD and the momentum of the particles. As compared with the single-layered detector (SD) that was composed of one PZT disk, it was found that the sensitivity of MD was ∼3 times higher than that of SD within the limits of the experimental conditions. 相似文献

In semiconductor manufacturing, contamination due to particulates significantly decreases the yield and quality of device fabrication, therefore increasing the cost of production. Dust particle clouds can be found in almost all plasma processing environments including both plasma etching devices and in plasma deposition processes. Dust particles suspended within such plasmas will acquire an electric charge from collisions with electrons and ions in the plasma. If the ratio of inter-particle potential energy to the average kinetic energy is sufficient, the particles will form either a “liquid” structure with short-range ordering or a crystalline structure with long-range ordering. Many experiments have been conducted over the past decade on such colloidal plasmas to discover the character of the systems formed, but more work is needed to fully understand these structures. The preponderance of previous experiments used monodisperse spheres to form complex plasma systems. However, most plasma processing environments contain more arbitrary distributions of particle size. In order to examine in more detail the effects of a size distribution, experiments were carried out in a GEC rf reference cell modified for use as a dusty plasma system. Using two monodisperse particle sizes, experiments were conducted to determine the manner in which phase transitions and other thermodynamic properties depended upon the overall dust grain size distribution. Plasma crystals were formed from different mixtures of 8.89 and 6.50 μm monodisperse particles in argon plasma. With the use of various optical techniques, the pair correlation function was determined at different pressures and powers and then compared to measurements obtained for monodisperse spheres. 相似文献

Analysis of the polarization of light scattered by cometary particles reveals similarities amongst the phase curves, together
with some clear differences: i) comets with a strong silicate emission feature present a high maximum in polarization, ii)
the polarization is always slightly lower than the average in inner comae and stronger in jet-like structures. These results
are in excellent agreement with the Greenberg model of dust particles built up of fluffy aggregates of much smaller grains.
Also, they suggest the existence of different regions of formation, and of different stages of evolution for the scattering
particles inside a given cometary coma.

A European probe to comet Halley is proposed. The probe's model payload consists of 8 scientific instruments, viz. neutral, ion and dust impact mass spectrometers, magnetometer, medium energy ion and electron analyzer, camera, dust impact detectors and plasma wave experiment. Fly-by of the comet Halley nucleus will take place on November 28th, 1985, at about 500 km miss distance. The main spacecraft serves as relay link to transmit the observed data to Earth. As probe, a modified ISEE 2 design is proposed. Because of the cometary dust hazard expected in the coma a heavy dust shield (27 kg) is required, consisting of a thin front sheet and a 3 layer rear sheet. The probe is spin-stabilized (12 rpm), has no active attitude and orbit control capability and uses battery power only to provide about 1000 Wh for a measuring phase. A despun antenna transmits up to 20 kbit/s, in X-band. The total probe mass is estimated at 250 kg. The 3 model development programme should start in mid 1981 with Phase B. 相似文献
