摘要:

雨燕任务发现了伽马射线暴(GRB)余辉的一个有趣特征,这是X射线和光学光变曲线中通量的浅下降阶段。这种行为通常归因于能量注入爆发喷出物。在某个时刻,这个阶段结束,导致光变曲线的中断,这通常被解释为能量注入的停止。然而,在少数情况下,虽然观察到X射线光变曲线的中断,但光发射继续其缓慢的通量下降。这种行为表明了一种更复杂的情况。在本文中,我们提出了一个模型,调用一个双组分流出,其中窄准直喷出物负责的X射线发射,而广泛的流出是负责的光发射。窄的分量可以在相对较早的时间在X射线光变曲线中产生射流中断,而光发射由于其较低的准直度而不会中断。在我们的模型中,两个组件都受到能量注入的整个持续时间的后续观察。我们将此模型应用于色突变的伽玛暴,我们展示了它可能如何改变伽玛暴典型光变曲线的解释。我们还从理论的角度研究了我们的模型,调查可能的配置的频率和值的伽玛暴物理参数允许在我们的模型。

英文摘要:

The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behaviour is typically attributed to energy injection into the burst ejecta. At some point this phase ends, resulting in a break in the lightcurve, which is commonly interpreted as the cessation of the energy injection. In a few cases, however, while breaks in the X-ray lightcurve are observed, optical emission continues its slow flux decline. This behaviour suggests a more complex scenario. In this paper, we present a model that invokes a double component outflow, in which narrowly collimated ejecta are responsible for the X-ray emission while a broad outflow is responsible for the optical emission. The narrow component can produce a jet break in the X-ray lightcurve at relatively early times, while the optical emission does not break due to its lower degree of collimation. In our model both components are subject to energy injection for the whole duration of the follow-up observations. We apply this model to GRBs with chromatic breaks, and we show how it might change the interpretation of the GRBs canonical lightcurve. We also study our model from a theoretical point of view, investigating the possible configurations of frequencies and the values of GRB physical parameters allowed in our model.
