  • X-ray morphology due to charge-exchange emissions used to study the global structure around Mars

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: Soft x-ray emissions induced by solar wind ions that collide with neutral material in the solar system have been detected around planets, and were proposed as a remote probe for the solar wind interaction with the Martian exosphere. A multi-fluid three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic model is adopted to derive the global distributions of solar wind particles. Spherically symmetric exospheric H, H$_2$, He, O, and CO$_2$ density profiles and a sophisticated hybrid model that includes charge-exchange and proton/neutral excitation processes are used to study the low triplet line ratio $G=\frac{i+f}{r}$ (0.77$\pm$0.58) of O VII and total x-ray luminosity around Mars. We further calculate the emission factor $\alpha$-value with different neutrals over a wide ion abundance and velocity ranges. Our results are in good agreement with those of previous reports. The evolution of the charge stage of solar wind ions shows that sequential recombination due to charge-exchange can be negligible at the interaction region. This only appears below the altitude of 400~km. The anonymous low disk $G$ ratio can be easily explained by the collisional quenching effect at neutral densities higher than 10$^{11}$cm$^{-3}$. However, the quenching contribution is small in Mars' exosphere and only appears below 400~km. Charge-exchange with H$_2$ and N$_2$ is still the most likely reason for this low $G$-ratio. X-ray emissivity maps in collisions with different neutrals differ from each other. A clear bow shock in the collision with all the neutrals is in accordance with previous reports. The resulting total x-ray luminosity of 6.55~MW shows a better agreement with the XMM-Newton observation of 12.8$\pm$1.4~MW than that of previous predictions.

  • A scaling relation in [C II]-detected galaxies and its likely application in cosmology

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: We identify and investigate a possible correlation between the $\rm{[CII]} 158{\mu}m$ luminosity and linewidth in the $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies. Observationally, the strength of the $\rm{[CII]} 158{\mu}m$ emission line is usually stronger than that of the CO emission line and this $\rm{[CII]}$ line has been used as another tracer of the galactic characteristics. Moreover, many $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies are identified in $z > 4$. Motivated by previous studies of the CO luminosity - FWHM correlation relation (LFR) and the available new $\rm{[CII]}$ measurements, we compile samples of the $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies in the literature and perform the linear regression analysis. The $\rm{[CII]}$ LFR is confirmed at a robust level. We also demonstrate the possible application of the $\rm{[CII]}$ LFR by utilizing it on the distance measurement of the high-$z$ galaxy. As a result, we extend the cosmic spatial scale beyond the redshift $z$ of $7$. With the outcome of the distance measurement, we constrain the cosmology parameters in the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder model, which considers the evolution of dark energy. Consequently, the uncertainties of the $\textit{w}_{0}$ and $\textit{w}_{a}$ are reduced significantly when the measured distance data of the $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies are included in the cosmological parameter constraint, exemplifying the potential of using the $\rm{[CII]}$-detected galaxies as a tracer to constrain the cosmological parameters.

  • Higher-order valley vortices enabled by synchronized rotation in a photonic crystal

    摘要: Synchronized rotation of unit cells in a periodic structure provides a novel design perspective for manipulation of band topology. We then design a two-dimensional version of higher-order topological insulators (HOTI), by such rotation in a triangular photonic lattice with $\mathcal{C}_3$ symmetry. This HOTI supports the hallmark zero-dimensional corner states and simultaneously the one-dimensional edge states. We also find that our photonic corner states carry chiral orbital angular momenta locked by valleys, whose wavefunctions are featured by the phase vortex (singularity) positioned at the maximal Wyckoff points. Moreover, when excited by a fired source with various frequencies, the valley topological states of both one-dimensional edges and zero-dimensional corners emerge simultaneously. Extendable to higher or synthetic dimensions, our work provides access to a chiral vortex platform for HOTI realisations in the THz photonic system.

  • Topological edge states of Kekul\'e-type photonic crystals induced by a synchronized rotation of unit cells

    摘要: Generating and manipulating Dirac points in artificial atomic crystals has received attention especially in photonic systems due to their ease of implementation. In this paper, we propose a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of a Kekul\'e lattice of pure dielectrics, where the internal rotation of cylindrical pillars induces optical Dirac-degeneracy breaking. Our calculated dispersion reveals that the synchronized rotation reverses bands and switches parity as well so as to induce a topological phase transition. Our simulation demonstrates that such topologically protected edge states can achieve robust transmission in defect waveguides under deformation, and therefore provides a pragmatically tunable scheme to achieve reconfigurable topological phases.
