摘要

热粒子如何被加速为超热能是一个尚未解决的问题，对许多天体物理系统来说至关重要。我们报告了高马赫数行星际激波上游超热粒子群不规则色散增强的新观测结果。我们将观察到的行为解释为由激波锋面不规则性引起的超热粒子的不规则“注入”。我们的发现，直接与自一致的模拟结果进行比较，为研究经常被忽视的遥远天体物理系统提供了重要的见解。

Irregular Proton Injection to High Energies at Interplanetary Shocks

Abstract How thermal particles are accelerated to suprathermal energies is an unsolved issue, crucial for many astrophysical systems. We report novel observations of irregular, dispersive enhancements of the suprathermal particle population upstream of a high-Mach-number interplanetary shock. We interpret the observed behavior as irregular “injections” of suprathermal particles resulting from shock front irregularities. Our findings, directly compared to self-consistent simulation results, provide important insights for the study of remote astrophysical systems where shock structuring is often neglected.
