GRB余辉图像表面亮度分布的解析表达式

Analytic Expressions for the Surface Brightness Profile of GRB Afterglow Images

Jonathan Granot

摘要:

伽马射线暴(GRB)余辉图像在天空平面上的精确轮廓可以提供对基础物理的重要约束。特别地,它可以测试发射冲击的外部介质中的磁场是否随着冲击波阵面后面的距离而显著减小,或者保持大致恒定。此外,它能够更准确地测量余辉图像大小和预期的闪烁特性。在这项工作中的余辉图像的幂律段(PLS)的余辉同步加速器光谱,其中的发射起源于一个非常薄的层后面的冲击,而简单的半解析表达式推导出剩余的PLS中的发射产生的大部分的冲击流体。在所有情况下的表达式是一个一般的幂律外部密度分布,并方便地使用在余辉研究。

英文摘要:

The exact profile of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow image on the plane of the sky can provide important constraints on the underlying physics. In particular, it can test whether the magnetic field in the emitting shocked external medium decreases significantly with the distance behind the shock front, or remains roughly constant. Moreover, it enables more accurate measurements of the afterglow image size and the expected scintillation properties. In this work analytic expressions are derived for the afterglow image in power law segments (PLSs) of the afterglow synchrotron spectrum in which the emission originates from a very thin layer just behind the shock, while simple semi-analytic expressions are derived for the remaining PLSs in which the emission arises from the bulk of the shocked fluid. In all cases the expressions are for a general power law external density profile, and are convenient to use in afterglow studies.
