伽马射线暴的高能余辉和耀斑的逆康普顿辐射

High energy afterglows and flares from Gamma-Ray Burst by Inverse Compton emission

A. Galli, L. Piro

摘要:

我们进行了详细的研究逆康普顿(IC)发射的火球经历外部冲击(ES)在均匀或风状星际介质,并评估IC和同步辐射的相对重要性。我们确定的主要模型参数驱动的IC同步辐射比的情况下,一个短时间的中央引擎。然后,我们调查ES的情况下,由一个长时间的中央发动机,或延迟外部冲击(DES),一个模型,可以解释在GRB X射线光变曲线中观察到的一些耀斑。我们提出的模型预测,特别是在GeV与X射线的行为,并将它们与其他模型提出解释耀斑的起源。我们发现,如果大部分的排放发生时,火球是在快速冷却制度,然后大量的GeV排放预计都为短(标准ES)和长(DES)持续时间的中央发动机活动。特别是,在标准ES的背景下,我们能够解释GRB 940217中观察到的延迟发射。在DES的情况下,我们发现,IC散射的X射线耀斑光子可以产生高能耀斑在GeV波段,这可以检测到的GLAST。高能耀斑的可探测性随着爆发动能的增加而提高:在X射线光变曲线上显示耀斑的雨燕伽玛暴中,约有30%具有足够大的动能,因此GLAST可以探测到预期的高耀斑。DES模型的一个重要预测是低能量耀斑和高能量耀斑之间的不对称性。为了测试这种一致性,两个耀斑的峰值能量都需要低于或在观测波段之内。我们预测,X射线耀斑的峰值能量约为10 eV的产生高能量耀斑的峰值能量约为100 MeV-GeV。然后,斯威夫特和GLAST的观测可以检验预测的一致性。

英文摘要:

We perform a detailed study of inverse Compton (IC) emission for a fireball undergoing external shock (ES) in either a uniform or a wind-like interstellar medium, and assess the relative importance of IC and synchrotron emissions. We determine the primary model parameters driving the IC to synchrotron emission ratio in the case of a short duration central engine. We then investigate the case of ES by a long duration central engine, or delayed external shock (DES), a model that can account for some of the flares observed in GRB X-ray light curves. We present model predictions, in particular in terms of GeV vs X-ray behavior, and compare them with other models proposed to explain the origin of flares. We find that if most of the emission occurs when the fireball is in the fast cooling regime, then a substantial GeV emission is expected both for a short (standard ES) and a long (DES) duration central engine activity. In particular, in the context of standard ES we are able to account for the delayed emission observed in GRB940217. In the case of DES, we find that IC scattering of X-ray flare photons can produce high energy flares in the GeV band, which can be detected by GLAST. The detectability of high energy flares improves with the burst kinetic energy: about 30% of Swift GRBs showing flares in their X-ray light curve have sufficiently large kinetic energy so that the expected high flares can be detected by GLAST. One important prediction of the DES model is the simultaneity between low and high energy flares. To test this simultaneity, the peak energies of both flares need to fall below or within the observational bands. We predict that X-ray flares with peak energy of ~10 eV produce high energy flares with peak energy of around 100 MeV-GeV. Observations by Swift and GLAST then, can test the predicted simultaneity.
