伽玛暴GeV辐射的外冲击同步辐射模型

On The External Shock Synchrotron Model for GRBs' GeV Emission

Tsvi Piran, Ehud Nakar

摘要:

LAT探测到的(100 MeV - 50 GeV)GRB辐射的主要成分相对于瞬发软(亚MeV)伽马射线开始延迟,并且在软成分消失后持续很长时间。这导致了一个有趣的建议,即这种高能量的发射是通过相对论电子的同步辐射产生的加速的外部冲击。此外,MeV余辉发射的限制导致的建议,至少在明亮的GeV爆发的领域是不是超出了冲击压缩放大。我们在这里表明,限制(内的减速冲击),效率和冷却的发射电子约束的考虑,在这个模型中,磁场,出现在上游(circumburst)和下游(喷出物)地区,使我们能够获得一个直接处理它们的值。最大同步辐射的已知极限,当结合冲击波演化时,意味着能量高于~ 10 GeV的晚期光子(在爆发后超过~100 s到达)不会自然地从外部冲击同步辐射中产生,并且几乎可以肯定有不同的起源。最后,即使是红外光学的适度种子通量(几mJy)也会通过逆康普顿冷却淬灭GeV辐射,除非激波后面的磁场被显著放大。同时观测到红外光学和GeV辐射的爆发将排除这种模型。

英文摘要:

The dominant component of the (100 MeV - 50 GeV) GRB emission detected by LAT starts with a delay relative to the prompt soft (sub-MeV) gamma-rays and lasts long after the soft component fades. This has lead to the intriguing suggestion that this high energy emission is generated via synchrotron emission of relativistic electrons accelerated by the external shock. Moreover, the limits on the MeV afterglow emission lead to the suggestion that, at least in bright GeV bursts the field is not amplified beyond compression in the shock. We show here that considerations of confinement (within the decelerating shock), efficiency and cooling of the emitting electrons constrain, within this model, the magnetic fields that arise in both the upstream (circum burst) and downstream (ejecta) regions, allowing us to obtain a direct handle on their values. The well known limit on the maximal synchrotron emission, when combined with the blast wave evolution, implies that late photons (arriving more than ~100 s after the burst) with energies higher than ~ 10GeV do not arise naturally from external shock synchrotron and almost certainly have a different origin. Finally, even a modest seed flux (a few mJy) at IR-optical would quench, via Inverse Compton cooling, the GeV emission unless the magnetic field is significantly amplified behind the shock. An observation of a burst with simultaneous IR-optical and GeV emission will rule out this model.
