Sidereal Anisotropy

Significant evidence for a bi-directional sidereal anisotropy has been obtained from observations with meson telescopes at depths in the vicinity of 40 metres water equivalent (m.w.e.) underground. The anisotropy is of the type which should occur when charged particles which were formerly isotropic stream equally in both directions along a magnetic field, if there is a tendency for pitch angles to become reduced (the pitch angle being the angle between the particle trajectory and the direction of the field). If the magnetic moments of the particles are adiabatically invariant, changes in the magnetic field, both with position and time, could be responsible for the anisotropy.

The Magnetic Field

The study of the distribution of geomagnetically trapped charged particles is aided by the introduction of a parameter L which is a function of the magnitude of the magnetic field and an integral invariant of the particle motion evaluated between the mirror points of the particle trajectory, which are referred to here as absolute conjugate points of the field (McIlwain 1961).

The Magnetic Field

Traditionally, the magnetic field is always vertical to the electrical field in a magnetic-electrochemical compound polishing.The magnetic field is set to parallel the electrical field in this paper. The mathematical model of the charged particles movement in a magnetic field is established through the analysis of its movement process when using Coulomb laws and Lorentz force. Through constructing the velocity formulation and loci formulation, the function of the magnetic field is proved. Because of the magnetic field, the concentration polarization of electrochemical reaction can be reduced more and the electrochemical reaction can be accelerated easily than the traditional polishing in which the magnetic field is vertical to the electrical field. Finally, to verify the model, the magnetic-electrochemical compound polishing process has been tested and the results, compared with those obtained from the model, have shown the movement model is reasonable and the analysis to function of magnetic field is correct.

Fraction of energy, E em /E0, transferred to the electron-photon component of EAS at E0 = 1015 ± 1019 eV was estimated by using the Cherenkov radiation data and the data on charged particles obtained at the Yakutsk EAS array. The results are compared with predictions of different models for energy dissipation into the EAS electron-photon component and with calculations performed with different primary nuclei content. In the energy ranges 1015 ± 1016 eV and 1018 ± 1019 eV , the ratio E em /E0 is equal to (77 ± 2)% and (88 ± 2)%, respectively, that does not contradict to a mixed composition of primary particles in the first energy interval and purely proton composition in the second one.

<p><span lang="EN-GB">BepiColombo is going to conduct its first Mercury flyby in October 2021. During this flyby,  plasma measurement will be obtained and bring new insights on the Hermean magnetosphere and its interaction with the Sun despite the limited field of view of the instruments during the cruise phase. Unlike Mariner-10 ion measurements will be obtained, and unlike MESSENGER, low energy electrons and ions will be measured simultaneously. In this study, we have revisited Mariner 10 and MESSENGER observations with the help of the global hybrid model LatHyS in order to understand the influence of time-variable solar wind and to constraint the plasma environment. We are able to reproduce the magnetic field observations of Mariner 10 along its trajectory with in particular two distinct signatures consisting of a quiet and disturbed state of the magnetosphere. In addition, the plasma spectrogram is also collected in the model and this enables us to detail the properties of the charged particles observed during the flyby. We will discuss all these signatures both in term of an interaction with a time-variable solar wind and localized processes occurring in the magnetosphere. We will then present the virtual sampling of both the magnetic field and plasma spectrogram along BepiColombo’s first Mercury flyby trajectory and discuss the possible signatures to be observed at that time.</span></p>

Insight Into

<p>Since arriving at Jupiter, Juno has observed instances of field-aligned proton and electron beams, in both the upward and downward current regions. These field-aligned beams are identified by inverted-V structures in plasma data, which indicate the presence of potential structures aligned with the magnetic field. The direction, magnitude and location of these potential structures is important, as it affects the characteristics of any resultant field-aligned current. At high latitudes, Juno has observed potentials of 100’s of kV occurring in both directions. Charged particles that are accelerated into Jupiter’s atmosphere and precipitate can excite aurora; likewise, particles accelerated away from the planet can contribute to the population of the magnetosphere.</p> <p>Using a time-varying 1-D spatial, 2-D velocity space Vlasov code, we examine magnetic field lines which extend from Jupiter into the middle magnetosphere. By applying and varying a potential difference at the ionosphere, we can gain insight into the effect these have on the plasma population, the potential structure, and plasma densities along the field line. Utilising a non-uniform mesh, additional resolution is applied in regions where particle acceleration occurs, allowing the spatial and temporal evolution of the plasma to be examined. Here, we present new results from our model, constrained, and compared with recent Juno observations, and examining both the upward and downward current regions.</p>

The Magnetic Field

The ferromagnetism induced by an external magnetic field (EMF), in (3+1) dimensions, is governed by Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system (KMMS). A (1+1) dimension model equation was derived in the literature. The magnetic moments are parallel to the magnetic field in ferromagnetism as they are aligning in the same direction of the external field. Here, it is shown that the KMMS supports the presence of internal magnetic field. This may be argued to medium characteristics. The objective of this work is to mind multiple soliton solutions, which are obtained via the generalized together with extended unified methods. Graphical representation of the results are carried. They describe infinite soliton shapes, which arise from the multiple variation of the arbitrary functions in the solutions. It is, also, shown that internal magnetic field decays, asymptotically, to zero with time.

ABSTRACT In a previous paper, we reported simulations of the evolution of the magnetic field in neutron star (NS) cores through ambipolar diffusion, taking the neutrons as a motionless uniform background. However, in real NSs, neutrons are free to move, and a strong composition gradient leads to stable stratification (stability against convective motions) both of which might impact on the time-scales of evolution. Here, we address these issues by providing the first long-term two-fluid simulations of the evolution of an axially symmetric magnetic field in a neutron star core composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons with density and composition gradients. Again, we find that the magnetic field evolves towards barotropic ‘Grad–Shafranov equillibria’, in which the magnetic force is balanced by the degeneracy pressure gradient and gravitational force of the charged particles. However, the evolution is found to be faster than in the case of motionless neutrons, as the movement of charged particles (which are coupled to the magnetic field, but are also limited by the collisional drag forces exerted by neutrons) is less constrained, since neutrons are now allowed to move. The possible impact of non-axisymmetric instabilities on these equilibria, as well as beta decays, proton superconductivity, and neutron superfluidity, are left for future work.
