解释X射线闪光XRF 060218及其相关超新星

Interpreting the X-ray Flash XRF 060218 and its associated supernova

A. De Rujula

摘要:

在它们被发现40年后,尽管有大量的观测结果,但负责长时间伽马射线暴(GRB)和X射线闪光的“引擎”的运行-以及产生辐射的机制-仍然是辩论和研究的主题。在这方面,最近与SN 2006 aj有关的XRF 060218事件特别重要。有人认为,由于在超新星爆炸的辐射中检测到了热成分,这是第一次观察到超新星爆炸所涉及的冲击波的爆发;这种XRF不是“离轴”观察到的GRB,而是一类新的能量微弱的GRB的成员;它的“持续发动机活动”可能是由一颗残留的高磁化中子星驱动的。我认为,基于观测和清晰的验证假设,有一个共同的,更简单的替代这些观点,没有热成分,没有新的微弱伽玛暴,没有稳定的发动机活动。

英文摘要:

Forty years after their discovery, and in spite of a very large body of observations, the operation of the 'engine' responsible for long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and X-ray flashes --as well as the mechanisms generating their radiation-- are still the subject of debate and study. In this respect a recent event, XRF 060218, associated with SN 2006aj, is particularly significant. It has been argued that, for the first time, the break-out of the shock involved in the supernova explosion has been observed, thanks to the detection of a thermal component in the event's radiation; that this XRF was not a GRB seen 'off-axis', but a member of a new class of energetically feeble GRBs; and that its 'continued engine activity' may have been driven by a remnant highly-magnetized neutron star, a magnetar. I argue, on grounds based on observations and on limpid verified hypothesis, that there is a common, simpler alternative to these views, with no thermal component, no new feeble GRBs, and no steady engine activity.
