论文摘要
Deschamps和Mottez(以下称DM)认为,高斯山山山地磁场的逆转可能使一个消失的主偶极矩到现场持续了10,000年的时间。他们说,这可能允许增强的宇宙射线通量,从而增强了我们在Melott和Thomas(2019)中提出的影响。我们指出,来自附近超新星的大部分宇宙射线通量应该过于活力,比陆地磁场的偏转极限高出一百万倍。实际上,只有那些高能量的人才能直接到达对流层,这与云到地面闪电有关。从宇宙爆炸到陆地大火?:讨论。 F.

Deschamps and Mottez (hereafter DM) argue that the Gauss-Matuyama terrestrial magnetic field reversal may have left a vanishing main dipole moment to the field for a time of order 10,000 years. They say this may have allowed an enhanced cosmic ray flux, boosting the effect we proposed in Melott and Thomas (2019). We point out that the bulk of the cosmic ray flux from a nearby supernova should be too energetic, up to a million times more energetic than the limits of deflection by the terrestrial magnetic field. In fact, only those highly energetic ones will directly reach the troposphere, relevant for cloud-to-ground lightning. From Cosmic Explosions to Terrestrial Fires?: A Discussion. F. Deschamps and F.
