While proton acceleration modeling based on the Fokker-Planck equation with diffusion through kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW) has been proposed to understand in-situ measurements of suprathermal protons in the interplanetary medium, more investigations using such modeling could help clarify the nature of particle acceleration in various astrophysical media beyond the interplanetary medium. Since the characteristics of KAW turbulence depend on the magnetization of the plasma system and the temperature anisotropy of the proton distribution function, proton acceleration mediated by KAW turbulence could also be influenced by these factors. By solving the Fokker-Planck equation, this study examines proton acceleration through KAW turbulence across strongly to weakly magnetized astrophysical plasmas, parameterized by plasma beta (<span>(beta =0.01-10)</span>), and the effects of proton temperature anisotropy. Particularly, our findings indicate that KAW turbulence significantly influences the presence of suprathermal protons in low-beta plasmas, such as the interplanetary medium, but is less impactful in high-beta environments, like the intergalactic and intracluster medium. Additionally, the proton temperature anisotropy significantly modulates the efficiency of proton diffusion in velocity space in low-beta environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8644,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics and Space Science","volume":"369 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Distant Retrograde Orbits (DROs) are highly valuable trajectories in the Earth-Moon space. Under the ephemeris model, DROs will become quasi-periodic. Efficiently computing quasi-periodic DROs in the ephemeris model is a pressing issue. This paper addresses the problems of high computational time cost and significant divergence over multiple orbit cycles when calculating quasi-periodic DROs under the ephemeris model and proposes an adaptive two-level differential correction algorithm based on differential evolution. The traditional two-level differential correction selects patch points at equal intervals, while the DRO states are different with different amplitudes, choosing patch points at equal intervals is simple but not suitable for most DRO. Each quasi-periodic DRO should have its own patch points position. The adaptive two-level differential correction algorithm firstly uses differential evolution to obtain the optimal solution of the position of the patch points and then two-level differential correction is played. This algorithm significantly improving both computational efficiency and orbital convergence. Simulation results show that this algorithm significantly reduces computational costs and achieves better convergence compared to traditional two-level differential correction algorithm. This study has a reference value for the design of long-term quasi-periodic DRO, and provides a new idea for the selection strategy of patch points in the two-level differential correction algorithm and the multiple shooting algorithm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8644,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics and Space Science","volume":"369 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Could they belong in the past to a common parent binary star until it was captured and then gravitationally ruptured by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) within the Hills scenario? A cross-analysis of these observational data is carried out to obtain reliable evidence for the possible quantitative relationship of the stars under consideration. Three key issues are considered: 1. reconstruction of the trajectory of HVS ejection from the SMBH neighborhood by the method of backward integration in the Galaxy potential; 2. estimation of the dynamical stability of the S-star orbits by the <span>(N)</span>-body method — direct integration of their motion in the central field of the SMBH, taking into account the perturbing potential created by the S-cloud members; 3. checking of the coplanarity of orbits of a central S-star and an HVS; For nine HVSs it is possible to reconstruct the central trajectory of the ejection (at a distance less than a parsec from the SMBH) within the uncertainty of the observational proper motion values. For S2 star the timescale of the dynamical stability of its spatial orbital configuration in the S-cloud is evaluated as ∼ 100,000 years. This requires an additional comment on the criterion of the coplanarity of the orbits of paired S-HVS. The problem of identifying tidally decoupled components (S-HVS pairs) by the SMBH field poses a challenge to modern astrometric observations, and not only. This problem may provide an independent test of our knowledge of the distribution of baryon and dark matter, as well as the Galactic gravitational potential constructed on their basis, which is important in cosmological and evolutionary interpretations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8644,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics and Space Science","volume":"369 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
