Self-Consistent Current Structures, Synchrotron Radiation, Relativistic Collisionless Plasma
Scientific paper
The properties of the magnetostatic structures in a collisionless relativistic plasma found by exactly solving the nonlinear self-consistent kinetic and Maxwell equations using the method of invariants of particle motion are analyzed. These structures include individual neutral current sheets and cylindrically symmetric filaments as well as their ensembles, admitting a wide variety of types of particle energy distribution functions. Relationships are established between the possible parameters of the current sheets and filaments—their sizes, currents and magnetic fields, and the degree of anisotropy of the particle momentum distribution. The extent to which these parameters are conditioned by the properties of the Weibel instability that can produce these structure is also discussed. The spectral peculiarities of the synchrotron radiation from the particles that form the current sheets and filaments are investigated in the special case of power-law energy distribution functions.
