PARTICLE ACCELERATION PHENOMENA IN ASTROPHYSICAL PLASMASPulsed Acceleration in Solar
We study the nonlinear dynamics of particle acceleration in solar ares by analyzing the time series of various quasi-periodic radio signatures during ares. In particular we present the radio and hard X-ray data of 3 ares which support the following tentative conclusions: 1) Particle acceleration and injection into magnetic loops occurs intrinsically in a pulsed mode (with a typical period of 1-...
متن کاملTopical Issues for Particle Acceleration Mechanisms in Astrophysical Shocks
Particle acceleration at plasma shocks appears to be ubiquitous in the universe, spanning systems in the heliosphere, supernova remnants, and relativistic jets in distant active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. This review addresses some of the key issues for shock acceleration theory that require resolution in order to propel our understanding of particle energization in astrophysical environmen...
متن کاملFermi acceleration in astrophysical jets
We consider the acceleration of energetic particles by Fermi processes (i.e., diffusive shock acceleration, second order Fermi acceleration, and gradual shear acceleration) in relativistic astrophysical jets, with particular attention given to recent progress in the field of viscous shear acceleration. We analyze the associated acceleration timescales and the resulting particle distributions, a...
متن کاملAstrophysical Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics
In this review the basic principles of smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) are outlined in a pedagogical fashion. To start, a basic set of SPH equations that is used in many codes throughout the astrophysics community is derived explicitly. Much of SPH’s success relies on its excellent conservation properties and therefore the numerical conservation of physical invariants receives much attentio...
متن کاملTime-dependent Stochastic Particle Acceleration in Astrophysical Plasmas: Exact Solutions including Momentum-dependent Escape
Stochastic acceleration of charged particles due to interactions with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma waves is the dominant process leading to the formation of the high-energy electron and ion distributions in a variety of astrophysical systems. Collisions with the waves influence both the energization and the spatial transport of the particles, and therefore it is important to treat these two...
