Effect of a magnetic field on the spectrum of relativistic electrons in a plasma turbulent reactor

Astrophysics Aims and scope

Conclusions

Our study shows the universality of the power-law spectrum with γ=3 in PTR in the presence of a magnetic field. This result is important to astrophysical applications because there is no doubt that magnetic fields are present in many different types of cosmic objects. This universality can be compared with the known statistical analysis of the spectra of various cosmic radio sources (Fig. 5); the most probable value is close to γ=3. The spread in the observed values of γ could be due to the escape of particles, nonuniformity, and so on, and requires further study.
