由逐渐能量耗散引起的瞬发GRB发射

Prompt GRB emission from gradual energy dissipation

Dimitrios Giannios

摘要:

我计算预期从坡印廷通量为主的伽马射线暴(GRB)流中的能量逐渐消散的磁重联的排放。在这幅图中,辐射粒子的能量由加热和冷却平衡(缓慢加热模型)决定。详细的辐射转移计算表明,在汤姆逊光学深度为1阶时,主要的辐射过程是逆康普顿散射。同步自吸收发射和逆康普顿在汤姆逊流的薄部分占主导地位。由于库仑碰撞(汤姆逊流厚的部分)和同步加速器光子的交换(汤姆逊流薄的部分),电子在整个耗散区域保持热状态。由此产生的光谱自然解释了观测到的伽玛射线暴发射的亚MeV突变以及突变上方和下方的光谱斜率。该模型预测,伽玛射线的幂律尾有一个高能量的截止,通常在~0.1-1 GeV的能量范围内,应该是可观察到的{ \it GLAST}。该模型还预测了一个即时发射组件在光学和紫外线与GeV的排放。该模型解释了GRB 061121的瞬发辐射的观测结果,其能量范围从光学到~1 MeV。

英文摘要:

I calculate the emission expected from a Poynting-flux-dominated gamma-ray burst (GRB) flow in which energy is dissipated gradually by magnetic reconnection. In this picture, the energy of the radiating particles is determined by heating and cooling balance (slow heating model). Detailed radiative transfer calculations show that, at Thomson optical depths of order of unity, the dominant radiative process is inverse Compton scattering. Synchrotron-self-absorbed emission and inverse Compton dominate in the Thomson thin parts of the flow. The electrons stay thermal throughout the dissipation region because of Coulomb collisions (Thomson thick part of the flow) and exchange of synchrotron photons (Thomson thin part). The resulting spectrum naturally explains the observed sub-MeV break of the GRB emission and the spectral slopes above and below the break. The model predicts that the gamma-ray power-law tail has a high-energy cutoff typically in the ~0.1-1 GeV energy range that should be observable with {\it GLAST}. The model also predicts a prompt emission component in the optical and UV associated with the GeV emission. Observations of the prompt emission of GRB 061121 that cover the energy range from the optical to ~1 MeV are explained by the model.
