Simulation of Polarized Synchrotron Radiation of Cosmic Rays in a Synthetic Turbulent Magnetic Field

Abstract

We report a method for simulating synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons under conditions of spatial turbulence of an inhomogeneous model galactic magnetic field. The software package developed in this study allows polarized spectra of the simulated synchrotron radiation to be constructed. In addition, a model visualization of the sky is implemented, demonstrating the spatial nonuniformity of the distribution of the synchrotron radiation power perceived by the observer. This approach opens up a possibility of a detailed study of the behavior of the interstellar turbulent magnetic field using synchrotron radiation maps, which is especially important for research in the field of cosmic ray physics.
