- Abstract
Results on generation of an electromagnetic pulse on a spacecraft under the action of X-ray and gamma radiation are described. The computational technology used is based on a hierarchical system of mathematical models constructed on a system of the Maxwell-Vlasov equations and spacecraft models that rather accurately describe all physical processes typical of origination of secondary electromagnetic fields and the object geometry. It is shown that polarization components of the electric field, which are directed normal to irradiated surfaces, depend weakly on geometric factors and are mainly determined by the photon radiation flux density. Formation of the magnetic field is determined by the dynamics of variation of the first derivative of the dipole moment of the electron layer formed owing to emission of particles under the action of ionization radiation and depends on the object shape, characteristic size of the irradiated surface, and spacecraft attitude.
