Fractal dimensions and scaling laws in the interstellar medium: A new field theory approach.
We develop a field theoretical approach to the cold interstellar medium (ISM). We show that a non-relativistic self-gravitating gas in thermal equilibrium with variable number of atoms or fragments is exactly equivalent to a field theory of a single scalar field φ(~x) with exponential self-interaction. We analyze this field theory perturbatively and non-perturbatively through the renormalizatio...
متن کاملHigh accuracy measurements of the interstellar magnetic field in the direction of pulsars with a new method
Low error measurements at the Arecibo Observatory (at 318MHz) of the weighted average interstellar magnetic field projected on the line of sight 〈B‖〉 and of the Rotation Measure in the direction of several pulsars were done using a new method. This method is based on the measurement of the period of the temporal modulation in the linearly polarized component of the pulsar pulse observed in a wi...
متن کاملTriangulation of the Interstellar Magnetic Field
Determining the direction of the local interstellar magnetic field (LISMF) is important for understanding the heliosphere’s global structure, the properties of the interstellar medium, and the propagation of cosmic rays in the local galactic medium. Measurements of interstellar neutral atoms by Ulysses for He and by SOHO/SWAN for H provided some of the first observational insights into the LISM...
متن کاملSystematic bias in interstellar magnetic field estimates
Faraday rotation of the polarization plane in magnetized thermal plasma provides one of the most efficient methods to deduce regular magnetic fields from radio astronomical observations. Since the Faraday rotation measure RM is proportional to an integral, along the line of sight, of magnetic field weighted with thermal electron density, RM is believed to yield the regular magnetic field averag...
متن کاملModel for Synchrotron X-rays from Shell Supernova Remnants in Nonuniform Interstellar Medium and Nonuniform Magnetic Field
Possibility to model the high energy synchrotron emission (in Xand γ-rays) from supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important task for modern astronomy and astrophysics, because it may be responsible for the nonthermal X-rays and TeV γrays observed recently from a number of SNRs. This emission allows as to look in the processes of particle acceleration on SNR shocks and generation of cosmic rays. I...
