GRB外流中剩余碰撞的瞬发光辐射

Prompt optical emission from residual collisions in GRB outflows

Zhuo Li, Eli Waxman

摘要:

伽马射线暴中的瞬发伽玛射线发射被认为是由相对论非定常外流中的内激波产生的。最近检测到的即时光发射伴随着即时伽马射线发射似乎与此模型不一致,因为流出的等离子体预计是高度光学厚的光学光子。我们在这里表明,在短,~ 1毫秒,时间尺度上的流动特性的波动,这驱动的伽马射线产生的碰撞在小半径,预计将导致“残留”的碰撞在更大的半径,光学深度的光学光子是低的。后期残留碰撞自然地解释了相对明亮的光发射。伽马射线和光发射的明显不稳定性是由于等离子体膨胀的高度相对论速度。残余碰撞也可能解释早期“陡降”阶段的X射线发射,其中半径被推断为大于伽马射线发射半径。最后,我们指出,在大半径的剩余碰撞的逆康普顿发射预计将有助于显着的高能量的发射,因此可能会“涂抹”对生产光谱截止。

英文摘要:

The prompt gamma-ray emission in gamma-ray bursts is believed to be produced by internal shocks within a relativistic unsteady outflow. The recent detection of prompt optical emission accompanying the prompt gamma-ray emission appears to be inconsistent with this model since the out flowing plasma is expected to be highly optically thick to optical photons. We show here that fluctuations in flow properties on short, ~ 1 ms, time scale, which drive the gamma-ray producing collisions at small radii, are expected to lead to "residual" collisions at much larger radii, where the optical depth to optical photons is low. The late residual collisions naturally account for the relatively bright optical emission. The apparent simultaneity of gamma-ray and optical emission is due to the highly relativistic speed with which the plasma expands. Residual collisions may also account for the X-ray emission during the early "steep decline" phase, where the radius is inferred to be larger than the gamma-ray emission radius. Finally, we point out that inverse-Compton emission from residual collisions at large radii is expected to contribute significantly to the emission at high energy, and may therefore "smear" the pair production spectral cut-off.
