摘要:

磁场在伽马射线暴(GRB)流中的作用仍有争议。早期余辉阶段的研究,特别是反向冲击动力学和相关的排放提供了一个有前途的探测喷出物的磁化。在本文中,我们推导出存在的条件,在任意磁化的喷出物,减速和相互作用的环暴介质的反向冲击。恒定和风一样的密度配置文件被认为是。我们表明,在以前的估计相比,喷出物的磁化大于团结没有交叉的一个大部分的参数空间相关的伽玛射线暴流的反向冲击。考虑到壳层的扩展,在σ_o < 0.3的喷出物中,总有相对论性或弱相对论性的反向激波形成.由此,我们得出结论,光学闪光的缺乏,被认为是一个独特的签名的反向冲击,可以解释的存在动态重要的磁场在喷出物。

英文摘要:

The role of magnetic fields in gamma-ray burst (GRB) flows remains controversial. The study of the early afterglow phases and, in particular, of the reverse shock dynamics and associated emission offers a promising probe of the magnetization of the ejecta. In this paper, we derive the conditions for the existence of a reverse shock in arbitrarily magnetized ejecta that decelerate and interact with the circumburst medium. Both constant and wind-like density profiles are considered. We show, in contrast to previous estimates, that ejecta with magnetization larger than unity are not crossed by a reverse shock for a large fraction of the parameter space relevant to GRB flows. Allowing for shell spreading, there is always a relativistic or mildly relativistic reverse shock forming in sigma_o < 0.3 ejecta. From this, we conclude that the paucity of optical flashes, believed to be a distinctive signature of a reverse shock, may be explained by the existence of dynamically important magnetic fields in the ejecta.
