The Magnetic Field

The topic of this presentation is the origin and dynamical behavior of the magnetic field and cosmic-ray gas in the disk of the Galaxy. In the space available I can do no more than mention the ideas that have been developed, with but little explanation and discussion. To make up for this inadequacy I have tried to give a complete list of references in the written text, so that the interested reader can pursue the points in depth (in particular see the review articles Parker, 1968a, 1969a, 1970). My purpose here is twofold, to outline for you the calculations and ideas that have developed thus far, and to indicate the uncertainties that remain. The basic ideas are sound, I think, but, when we come to the details, there are so many theoretical alternatives that need yet to be explored and so much that is not yet made clear by observations.

Open Magnetic Field

It is argued that the description of the magnetic field in halos of galaxies should take into account its dynamical coupling to the other major components of the interstellar medium, namely thermal plasma and cosmic rays (CR's). It is then inevitable to have some loss of gas and CR's (galactic wind) provided that there exist some “open” magnetic field lines, facilitating their escape, and a sufficient level of self-generated waves which couple the particles to the gas. We discuss qualitatively the topology of the magnetic field in the halo and show how galactic rotation and magnetic forces can be included in such an outflow picture.

The Magnetic Field

In this work, I study the propagation of cosmic rays inside the magnetic field of the Earth, at distances d ≤ 500 Km from its surface; at these distances, the geomagnetic field deeply influences the diffusion motion of the particles. I compare the different effects of the interplanetary and of the geomagnetic fields, by also discussing their role inside the cosmic rays transport equation; finally, I present an analytical method to solve such an equation through a factorization technique.

The Magnetic Field

In spite of the recent progress of high energy gamma-ray astronomy, there still remains quite unclear and important problem about the origin of cosmic rays. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the favoured site for cosmic rays up to 1016 eV, as they satisfy the requirements such as an energy input rate. But direct supporting evidence is sparse. Recently intense non-thermal X-ray emission from the rims of the Type Ia SNR SN1006 (G327.6+14.6) has been observed by ASCA (Koyama et al. 1995)and ROSAT (Willingale et al. 1996), which is considered, by attributing the emission to synchrotron radiation, to be strong evidence of shock acceleration of high energy electrons up to ~100 TeV. If so, TeV gamma rays would also be expected from inverse Compton scattering (IC) of low energy photons (mostly attributable to the 2.7 K cosmic background photons) by these electrons. By assuming the magnetic field strength (B) in the emission region of the SNR, several theorists (Pohl 1996; Mastichiadis 1996; Mastichiadis & de Jager 1996; Yoshida & Yanagita 1997) calculated the expected spectra of TeV gamma rays using the observed radio/X-ray spectra. Observation of TeV gamma rays would thus provide not only the further direct evidence of the existence of very high energy electrons but also the another important information such as the strength of the magnetic field and diffusion coefficient of the shock acceleration. With this motivation, SN1006 was observed by the CANGAROO imaging air Cerenkov telescope in 1996 March and June, also 1997 March and April.

The Magnetic Field

X-ray observations have demonstrated that the intergalactic medium in many clusters (cf. Coma, Perseus) contains a thin, hot plasma that may be produced by the accretion process in the gravitational potential of clusters with radiative cooling; this is usually called “cooling flows” (Fabian, Nulsen, and Canizares 1984; Sarazin 1986). On the other hand, the existence of radio halos in some clusters has been reported (Coma: Jaffe, Perola, and Valentijn 1976; A401: Roland et al. 1981). In addition, many elliptical galaxies in the center of clusters are also strong synchrotron radio sources. These radio emissions provide evidence for large amounts of relativistic electrons associated with the active phenomena in or around these galaxies and clusters. We can estimate the values or limits on the magnetic field in the cluster from the limits on the inverse Compton X-ray emission with the synchrotron radio emission (cf. Jaffe 1980). The intracluster field strength Bo is roughly 1 μG. It has been suggested that the influence of cosmic rays and magnetic fields is important for the properties and dynamics of the intercluster medium (Böhringer and Morfill 1988; Soker and Sarazin 1989). If cooling flows are real, this inward flow can impede the escape of the cosmic rays from the central galaxies in clusters and enhance the magnetic field. The confinement of the cosmic rays and the magnetic field in the center of clusters affects the gas of the intracluster medium.

The Magnetic Field

The origin and dynamics of magnetic fields depend crucially on the dynamics of a gas in the Galaxy. In turn the magnetic field is needed to isotropize the cosmic rays (the influence on chemistry) and is of importance for the formation of stars (local dynamics). Thus the appearance of this topic at the Colloquium is justified.

Modulation of low-rigidity cosmic rays and the power spectrum of the interplanetary magnetic field in 1962 and 1965

The Magnetic Field

The observed change in cosmic-ray modulation from 1963–64 to 1965 may be associated with a corresponding change in the magnetic-field power spectra between 1962 and 1965, as obtained from Mariner 2 and Mariner 4 magnetometer data, respectively. It is further suggested that the diffusion mean-free-path λ may approach a constant value approximately equal to the correlation length of the magnetic field for very-low-rigidity particles.
