Anomalous anisotropies of cosmic rays from turbulent magnetic fields.
The propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) in turbulent interstellar magnetic fields is typically described as a spatial diffusion process. This formalism predicts only a small deviation from an isotropic CR distribution in the form of a dipole in the direction of the CR density gradient or relative background flow. We show that the existence of a global CR dipole moment necessarily generates a spect...
متن کاملModeling of small-scale turbulent magnetic fields on the Sun
Magnetic field generation is a key problem in understanding solar variability across a wide range of scales. Modern high-resolution observations of the global magnetic field distribution, such as from HMI/SDO (Scherrer et al. 2012), and magnetic fields in selected areas by NST/BBSO (Goode et al. 2010), SOT/Hinode (Tsuneta et al. 2008) and IMAX/SUNRISE (Solanki et al. 2010) demonstrate the compl...
متن کاملSmall–scale anisotropies of cosmic rays from relative diffusion
The arrival directions of multi–TeV cosmic rays show significant anisotropies at small angular scales. It has been argued that this small scale structure is reflecting the local, turbulent magnetic field in the presence of a global dipole anisotropy in cosmic rays as determined by diffusion. This effect is analogous to weak gravitational lensing of temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwa...
متن کاملNonlinear Evolution of Cosmic Magnetic Fields and Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
In this work we investigate the effects of primordial magnetic fields on cosmic microwave background anisotropies (CMB). Based on cosmological magneto-hydro dynamic (MHD) simulations [1] we calculate the CMB anisotropy spectra and polarization induced by fluid fluctuations (Alfvén modes) generated by primordial magnetic fields. The strongest effect on the CMB spectra comes from the transition e...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Momentum Diffusion in Magnetosonic versus Alfvénic Turbulent Fields
Energetic particle transport in a finite amplitude magnetosonic and Alfvénic turbulence is considered using Monte Carlo particle simulations, which involve an integration of particle equations of motion. We show that in a low-β plasma cosmic ray acceleration can be the most important damping process for magnetosonic waves. Assuming such conditions we derive the momentum diffusion coefficient Dp...
