This distinction has not been taken into account in past studies that estimate the CME flux opening timescale. We outline key criteria to aid in distinguishing IC reconnection from IP reconnection based on in situ spacecraft data and highlight these through two example events. Studying the manner in which CMEs reconnect and open in the inner heliosphere yields important insights not only into CMEs’ role in the heliospheric flux budget but also the evolution of CME complexity, connectivity, and topology.","PeriodicalId":50735,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysical Journal","volume":"25 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135614958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conduct phase-resolved spectroscopy in a broad energy band for LFQPOs in MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst, utilizing Insight-HXMT observations. By employing the Hilbert–Huang transform method, we extract the intrinsic quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) variability, and obtain the corresponding instantaneous amplitude, phase, and frequency functions for each data point. With well-defined phases, we construct QPO waveforms and phase-resolved spectra. By comparing the phase-folded waveform with that obtained from the Fourier method, we find that phase folding on the phase of the QPO fundamental frequency leads to a slight reduction in the contribution of the harmonic component. This suggests that the phase difference between QPO harmonics exhibits time variability. Phase-resolved spectral analysis reveals strong concurrent modulations of the spectral index and flux across the bright hard state. The modulation of the spectral index could potentially be explained by both the corona and jet precession models, with the latter requiring efficient acceleration within the jet. Furthermore, significant modulations in the reflection fraction are detected exclusively during the later stages of the bright hard state. These findings provide support for the geometric origin of LFQPOs and offer valuable insights into the evolution of the accretion geometry during the outburst in MAXI J1820+070.","PeriodicalId":50735,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysical Journal","volume":"32 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135372012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by the application to radiation from accretion flows and jets, we explore the effect of temperature anisotropy on synchrotron emission. We derive analytically and provide numerical fits for the polarized synchrotron emission and absorption coefficients for a relativistic bi-Maxwellian plasma (we do not consider Faraday conversion/rotation). Temperature anisotropy can significantly change how the synchrotron emission and absorption coefficients depend on observing angle with respect to the magnetic field. The emitted linear polarization fraction does not depend strongly on anisotropy, while the emitted circular polarization does. We apply our results to black hole imaging of Sgr A* and M87* by ray tracing a GRMHD simulation and assuming that the plasma temperature anisotropy is set by the thresholds of kinetic-scale anisotropy-driven instabilities. We find that the azimuthal asymmetry of the 230 GHz images can change by up to a factor of 3, accentuating ( T ⊥ > T ∥ ) or counteracting ( T ⊥ < T ∥ ) the image asymmetry produced by Doppler beaming. This can change the physical inferences from observations relative to models with an isotropic distribution function, e.g., by allowing for larger inclination between the line of sight and spin direction in Sgr A*. The observed image diameter and the size of the black hole shadow can also vary significantly due to plasma temperature anisotropy. We describe how the anisotropy of the plasma can affect future multifrequency and photon ring observations. We also calculate kinetic anisotropy-driven instabilities (mirror, whistler, and firehose) for relativistically hot plasmas.","PeriodicalId":50735,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysical Journal","volume":"81 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135411685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These observations have motivated us to explore the mechanism underlying the formation of fast- and slow-mode ion-acoustic solitary waves in the magnetotail region. To this end, we have formulated a three-component magnetized plasma model consisting of nonthermal electrons and two cold ion beams streaming parallel and antiparallel to the magnetic field, respectively. In this work, we have examined the existence conditions for ion-acoustic subsonic waves in a suprathermal space plasma comprising two counterstreaming (drifting) ion beams interacting with a suprathermal electron background. An exact (nonperturbative) nonlinear technique has been adopted to examine the role of the beam velocity and the spectral index on the evolution of subsonic waves. Linear analysis reveals that subsonic waves are unstable when the beam velocity is lower than a threshold value; hence in this regime, only conventional supersonic (fast) waves are formed. On the other hand, when the beam velocity exceeds the threshold, either supersonic or subsonic waves may exist. The combined impact of the beam velocity and electron superthermality on the characteristics of subsonic solitary waves has been analyzed. Our results are shown to be in good agreement with observations of slow ESWs by the MMS spacecraft. Our findings will help to unfold the so-far unexplored dynamical characteristics of subsonic waves that may occur in the reconnection site of Earth’s magnetotail.","PeriodicalId":50735,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysical Journal","volume":"33 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135412375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, a jet from the central engine of a GRB is launched with a significant magnetization, and thus there would be a background magnetic field, rather than only the shock-generated magnetic field, in the emission region. In this paper, we study the synchrotron emission of internal shocks with both a decaying shock-generated magnetic field and a nondecaying background magnetic field. It is found that a shoulder with spectral index −1/2 appears in the low-energy regime of the radiation spectrum. The shoulder becomes dominant by increasing the ratio of the background magnetic field energy to the initial value of the shock-generated magnetic field energy f B . Correspondingly, a radiation spectrum with two bumps or a plateau around the peak of the ν F ν − ν spectrum may appear. Owing to the decay of the shock-generated magnetic field, the radiation spectral morphology in the high-energy regime is not a power-law function even though a power-law distribution of electrons is injected. We apply our model to GRB 211211A, of which the hard main emission is suggested to originate from the synchrotron emission. Compared with the spectral fitting results with a Band function and the synchrotron emission from the standard straightforward internal shocks, our model presents a perfect fitting to the observations. The fitting results show that f B is around 0.41–0.99 for the hard main emission of this burst.","PeriodicalId":50735,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysical Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135456360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supernova remnants (SNRs) represent strong candidates because they provide sufficient energetics to reproduce the CR flux observed at Earth.

The two-parameter Dainotti relation between the break time of the plateau and the corresponding break luminosity ( L b,z ) in the radio band is &lt;?CDATA ${L}_{{rm{b}},{rm{z}}}propto {T}_{{rm{b}},{rm{z}}}^{-1.20pm 0.24}$?&gt; &lt;mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\"&gt; &lt;mml:msub&gt; &lt;mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mi&gt;L&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;/mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;b&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;mml:mo&gt;,&lt;/mml:mo&gt; &lt;mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;z&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;/mml:mrow&gt; &lt;/mml:msub&gt; &lt;mml:mo&gt;∝&lt;/mml:mo&gt; &lt;mml:msubsup&gt; &lt;mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mi&gt;T&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;/mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;b&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;mml:mo&gt;,&lt;/mml:mo&gt; &lt;mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;z&lt;/mml:mi&gt; &lt;/mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mrow&gt; &lt;mml:mo&gt;−&lt;/mml:mo&gt; &lt;mml:mn&gt;1.20&lt;/mml:mn&gt; &lt;mml:mo&gt;±&lt;/mml:mo&gt; &lt;mml:mn&gt;0.24&lt;/mml:mn&gt; &lt;/mml:mrow&gt; &lt;/mml:msubsup&gt; &lt;/mml:math&gt; .
