由紧密伴星组成的密近双星演化的最后阶段

The last stages of evolution of close binaries composed of compact companions

B. E. Zhilyaev, D. L. Dubinovska

摘要:

伽马射线暴(GRB)是宇宙中最强大的瞬态现象。目前,人们对伽玛暴的起源进行了几十种推测,但到目前为止,还没有一个单一的模型来解释特别是短伽玛暴的起源。黑洞(BH)-中子星(NS)并合是一个有希望的短暴源。大多数双星合并的数值模拟都是为了研究引力波的发射。这种情况包括一个螺旋,合并和振铃阶段。在本文中,我们提出的观测结果和分析预测的一个测试粒子在一个准圆轨道的BH。引力波的发射导致轨道半径的迅速减小和辐射的{\it chirp}的增加。围绕黑洞运行的物质预计会产生高频振荡(HFO)。合并过程的时间尺度是毫秒的顺序和数百赫兹的振荡频率与太阳质量BH同伴的系统。本文报道了在两个短伽马射线暴中探测到的HFO。振荡的频率和持续时间与预测值一致。还识别出{\it啁啾}现象。因此,我们主张BH-NS合并作为一个方案的生产短伽马射线暴。

英文摘要:

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are the most powerful transient phenomena in the Universe. Nowadays dozens of speculations on the origin of GRB were undertaken, but so far a single model for the origin of, in particular, short GRBs does not exist. The black hole (BH) - neutron star (NS) coalescence is a promising candidate source for short GRBs. Most of binary mergers numerical simulations were carried out with the purpose of investigating the emission of gravitational waves. Such a scenario consists of an inspiral, merging and ringdown phase. In this paper we present the comparison of the observational results and analytical predictions for a test particle in a quasicircular orbit around the BH. The emission of gravitational waves causes a rapid decrease of the orbital radius and a rise of a {\it chirp} of radiation. Matter orbiting the black hole would be expected to produce high-frequency oscillations (HFO). Timescales of the coalescence process are of the order of milliseconds and oscillation frequencies of hundreds Hz for a system with a solar mass BH companion. We report on the detection of HFO in two short gamma-ray bursts in this paper. The frequencies and durations of the oscillations are in agreement with the predicted values. A {\it chirp} phenomenon is identified also. We therefore argue in favor of BH-NS mergers as a scenario for the production of short gamma-ray bursts.
