GeV是来自外部冲击源的伽马射线暴的发射吗?

Is GeV Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts of External Shock Origin?

Amanda Maxham, Bin-Bin Zhang, Bing Zhang

摘要:

费米大天区望远镜(LAT)最近对伽马射线暴(GRB)的观测揭示了高能辐射(100 MeV以上)的幂律衰减特征,这导致了它起源于(可能是辐射性的)外部冲击的建议。我们分析了Fermi LAT和伽马射线暴监测仪(GBM)联合探测到的4个伽玛暴(080916 C、090510、090902 B和090926 A),它们在两个仪器能带都具有高质量的光变曲线。使用MeV瞬时排放(GBM)数据,我们可以记录中央发动机输出的能量随时间的变化。假设一个恒定的辐射效率,我们能够跟踪能量积累的外部冲击,使用我们的内部/外部壳模型代码。通过求解绝热和辐射爆炸波的早期演化,我们计算了LAT波段的高能发射光变曲线,并将其与每次爆炸的观测结果进行了比较。T90以后的后期LAT光变曲线可以很好地拟合。然而,由于连续的能量注入到爆炸波在即时发射阶段,早期的外部冲击发射不能解释所观察到的GeV通量水平。在瞬发阶段(T90之前)的高能量发射很可能是一个逐渐增强的外部冲击分量和一个主导的发射分量,是一个内部的起源的叠加。

英文摘要:

Recent observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) revealed a power law decay feature of the high energy emission (above 100 MeV), which led to the suggestion that it originates from a (probably radiative) external shock. We analyze four GRBs (080916C, 090510, 090902B and 090926A) jointly detected by Fermi LAT and Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), which have high quality lightcurves in both instrument energy bands. Using the MeV prompt emission (GBM) data, we can record the energy output from the central engine as a function of time. Assuming a constant radiative efficiency, we are able to track energy accumulation in the external shock using our internal/external shell model code. By solving for the early evolution of both an adiabatic and a radiative blastwave, we calculate the high energy emission lightcurve in the LAT band and compare it with the observed one for each burst. The late time LAT light curves after T90 can be well fit by the model. However, due to continuous energy injection into the blastwave during the prompt emission phase, the early external shock emission cannot account for the observed GeV flux level. The high energy emission during the prompt phase (before T90) is most likely a superposition of a gradually enhancing external shock component and a dominant emission component that is of an internal origin.
