It has long been considered a candidate site for accelerating particles to ultra-high energies (UHE) and producing subsequent secondaries. Such an event can be crucial to explore the different phenomena of secondary production from the UHEs and viable to understand the energetics of the sources. Our study finds that the multi-wavelength flare, spanning UV, optical, X-rays, and HE gamma rays, originates from leptonic emissions, whereas the delayed VHE activity by proton synchrotron emission within the source, results from the extended duration of particle acceleration.

Comparatively, the bulging MH exhibits a donut electron distribution, which may be attributed to the combined effects of internal expansion-induced betatron cooling and boundary contraction-induced betatron acceleration, while the deflated MH presents a pancake electron distribution. The beam instability and temperature anisotropy inside the bulging MH also excite electron cyclotron waves and whistler waves, respectively, while the deflated MH does not exhibit these types of waves.

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}
