摘    要

    由于同步辐射机制在天体物理应用中取得了巨大成功,近十多年来已出现滥用的趋势。“幂律能谱的电子一定辐射幂律谱”的传统观念其实有错误。对非均匀磁场,正确的公式应该是同步-曲率辐射公式,而不是同步辐射公式。将一般磁场都看成平均均匀场,用同步辐射讨论,很可能导至对天体情况的错误描述。

Abstract

    In recent years, owing to the great success of the synchrotron radiation in contemporary astrophysical research, the abusive use of synchrotron radiation has been emerged. In this paper, we show that the traditional idea, “electrons with a power-law energy distribution certainly yield a power-law radiation Spectrum”, should be changed. If the magnetic field of radiation region is not flat and straight, the synchro-curvature radiation, instead of the synchrotron radiation, should be used to get a real description. In a curved magnetic field, the resulting spectrum of electrons could obviously distinct from a power-law one. This means that the way of only adding many other mechanisms to a pure power-law spectrum to get the expected spectrum might not be reasonable.
