来自GRB 080319 B的裸眼光学闪光:追踪流出物中的衰变中子

Naked-eye optical flash from GRB 080319B: Tracing the decaying neutrons in the outflow

Yi-Zhong Fan, Bing Zhang, Da-Ming Wei

摘要:

对于非定常的重子伽马射线暴(GRB)外流,快质子壳层和慢质子壳层相互碰撞产生高能的软伽玛射线辐射。如果流出物中有大量的中子成分,超相对论中子最初会自由膨胀,直到在更大的半径处衰变。从伽玛射线暴中央发动机喷射出的晚期质子壳层,在为常规的内部冲击提供动力之后,将扫过这些$β-$衰变产物,并产生非常明亮的紫外/光学发射。GRB 080319 B是遥远宇宙中的一次高能爆炸,它产生的肉眼可见的闪光可以用这种方式很好地解释。

英文摘要:

For an unsteady baryonic gamma-ray burst (GRB) outflow, the fast and slow proton shells collide with each other and produce energetic soft gamma-ray emission. If the outflow has a significant neutron component, the ultra-relativistic neutrons initially expand freely until decaying at a larger radius. The late time proton shells ejected from the GRB central engine, after powering the regular internal shocks, will sweep these $β-$decay products and give rise to very bright UV/optical emission. The naked-eye optical flash from GRB 080319B, an energetic explosion in the distant universe, can be well explained in this way.
