伽玛暴的磁喷流模型和>100个MeV光子的延迟到达

Magnetic jet model for GRBs and the delayed arrival of >100 MeV photons

Z. Bosnjak, P. Kumar

摘要:

来自长伽马射线暴的能量大于100 MeV的光子在小于10 MeV的光子到达后几秒钟到达。我们表明,这种延迟是一个自然的结果,一个磁占主导地位的相对论性喷流。具有半径的磁喷流的加速速度要慢得多(与热重子流出相比),导致高能伽马射线光子在更大的半径内转换为电子-正电子对,而能量小于10 MeV的低能伽马射线可以在喷流穿过汤姆孙光球时逃逸。高能光子到达的延迟被发现是类似的费米卫星观测到的一些伽玛暴的值。该模型的预测是延迟应随着光子能量(E)而增加,对于E>100 MeV,为E^{0.17}。延迟几乎与爆发红移成线性关系,并与喷流发射时距中心致密天体的距离(R_0)有关。因此,如果伽马射线产生的磁喷流模型是正确的,并且长伽玛暴的R_0大致相同,则可以用大于10^2 MeV光子的到达延迟来估计暴红移。

英文摘要:

Photons of energy larger than 100 MeV from long-GRBs arrive a few seconds after <10 MeV photons do. We show that this delay is a natural consequence of a magnetic dominated relativistic jet. The much slower acceleration of a magnetic jet with radius (compared with a hot baryonic outflow) results in high energy gamma-ray photons to be converted to electron-positron pairs out to a larger radius whereas lower energy gamma-rays of energy less than ~10 MeV can escape when the jet crosses the Thomson-photosphere. The resulting delay for the arrival of high energy photons is found to be similar to the value observed by the Fermi satellite for a number of GRBs. A prediction of this model is that the delay should increase with photon energy (E) as E^{0.17} for E>100 MeV. The delay depends almost linearly on burst redshift, and on the distance from the central compact object where the jet is launched (R_0). Therefore, the delay in arrival of >10^2 MeV photons can be used to estimate burst redshift if the magnetic jet model for gamma-ray generation is correct and R_0 is roughly the same for long-GRBs.
