无碰撞GRB激波的上游磁场:Fermi-LAT观测的约束

The upstream magnetic field of collisionless GRB shocks: constraint by Fermi-LAT observations

Zhuo Li, Xiao-Hong Zhao

摘要:

长寿命的>100 MeV辐射是大多数费米-LAT探测到的伽马射线暴(GRB)的共同特征,例如,在长伽玛射线暴080916 C和090902 B中检测到的时间长达~10^3s,在短伽玛射线暴090510中检测到的时间为~10^2s。这种发射是一致的产生的同步辐射的电子加速到高能量的相对论无碰撞冲击传播到弱磁化介质。在这里,我们表明,这种高能量余辉发射约束的震前磁场满足1(n/1cc)^{9/8} mG<B<10^2(n/1cc)^{3/8}mG,其中n是震前密度,比以前的约束更严格的X射线余辉观测在一天的尺度。这表明震前磁场被强烈放大,很可能是由高能冲击加速粒子流造成的。

英文摘要:

Long-lived >100 MeV emission has been a common feature of most Fermi-LAT detected gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), e.g., detected up to ~10^3s in long GRBs 080916C and 090902B and ~10^2s in short GRB 090510. This emission is consistent with being produced by synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated to high energy by the relativistic collisionless shock propagating into the weakly magnetized medium. Here we show that this high-energy afterglow emission constrains the preshock magnetic field to satisfy 1(n/1cc)^{9/8} mG<B<10^2(n/1cc)^{3/8}mG, where n is the preshock density, more stringent than the previous constraint by X-ray afterglow observations on day scale. This suggests that the preshock magnetic field is strongly amplified, most likely by the streaming of high energy shock accelerated particles.
