论文摘要

我们讨论了当前板平衡的Vlasov-Maxwell平衡分布函数,该函数是Harris板和无力(或修饰的)Harris板之间的中间情况。这些平衡分布函数在空间和天体物理等离子体上具有潜在的应用。 Harrison和Neukirch 2009在其中简要讨论了这些分布函数的存在,但是在这里表明他们的方法陷入了指导字段为零的极限中的问题。将讨论此问题的性质,并将提出一种避免问题的替代方法。这是通过考虑磁场轮廓的微小变化来实现的,这允许哈里斯和无力量的哈里斯板盒之间的平滑过渡。

We discuss a family of Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium distribution functions for current sheet equilibria that are intermediate cases between the Harris sheet and the force-free (or modified) Harris sheet. These equilibrium distribution functions have potential applications to space and astrophysical plasmas. The existence of these distribution function had been briefly discussed in by Harrison and Neukirch 2009, but here it is shown that their approach runs into problems in the limit where the guide field goes to zero. The nature of this problem will be discussed and an alternative approach will be suggested that avoids the problem. This is achieved by considering a slight variation of the magnetic field profile, which allows a smooth transition between the Harris and force-free Harris sheet cases.
