| 英文摘要 | Interstellar magnetic fields exist over a broad range of spatial scales, extending from large Galactic scales (similar to10 kpc) down to very small dissipative scales (<<1 pc). In this paper, we use a set of 490 pulsars distributed over roughly one-third of the Galactic disk out to a radius R similar or equal to 10 kpc (assuming R-. = 8.5 kpc) and combine their observed rotation and dispersion measures with their estimated distances to derive the spatial energy spectrum of the Galactic interstellar magnetic field over the scale range 0.5-15 kpc. We obtain a nearly flat spectrum, with a one-dimensional power-law index alpha = -0.37 +/- 0.10 for E-B(k) = Ck(alpha) and an rms field strength of approximately 6 muG over the relevant scales. Our study complements the derivation of the magnetic energy spectrum over the scale range 0.03 - 100 pc by Minter & Spangler, showing that the magnetic spectrum becomes flatter at larger scales. This observational result is discussed in the framework of current theoretical and numerical models. |
