伽马射线暴多波长余辉的多样性特征:自然还是特殊?

Diverse Features of the Multi-wavelength Afterglows of Gamma-ray Bursts: Natural or Special?

J. J. Geng, Y. F. Huang

摘要:

伽马射线暴(GRB)余辉中光学再增亮和X射线平台的探测对一般的外激波模型提出了挑战。最近,我们发展了一种数值方法来计算由前向激波和反向激波组成的系统的动力学。在此,我们简要回顾了这种方法在余辉理论中的应用。通过将这些不同的特征与伽玛暴的中心引擎联系起来,我们发现陡峭的光学再增亮可能是由黑洞的后退吸积引起的,而浅的光学再增亮则是来自中心磁星的电子-正电子对风注入的结果。这些研究为探索伽玛暴中心发动机的特性提供了有用的途径。

英文摘要:

The detection of optical re-brightenings and X-ray plateaus in the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) challenges the generic external shock model. Recently, we have developed a numerical method to calculate the dynamic of the system consisting of a forward shock and a reverse shock. Here, we briefly review the applications of this method in the afterglow theory. By relating these diverse features to the central engines of GRBs, we find that the steep optical re-brightenings would be caused by the fall-back accretion of black holes, while the shallow optical re-brightenings are the consequence of the injection of the electron-positron-pair wind from the central magnetar. These studies provide useful ways to probe the characteristics of GRB central engines.
