辐射加速GRB火球的动态蒙特卡罗模拟

Dynamic Monte Carlo Simulations of Radiatively Accelerated GRB Fireballs

Atul Chhotray, Davide Lazzati

摘要:

提出了一种新的动态蒙特卡罗程序(DynaMo代码),它自洽地模拟了康普顿散射驱动的等离子体动态演化。我们使用DynaMo程序通过改变初始不透明度和重子含量来研究无耗散伽玛暴火球随时间的膨胀和加速。我们研究的不透明度和能量密度的演变最初光学厚,辐射占主导地位的火球在其整个相空间-特别是在$R_{\rm ph} < R_{\rm sat}$制度。我们的研究结果揭示了火球演化的新阶段:一个过渡阶段,径向范围为几个数量级-火球从$Γ\propto R$过渡到$Γ\propto R^0$,一个后湍流加速阶段-火球加速超过光球,和一个汤姆逊主导的加速阶段-其特征是光学厚,物质主导的火球由于汤姆逊散射缓慢加速。我们通过给出洛伦兹因子演化的解析表达式来量化新的相位,这将有助于推导射流参数。

英文摘要:

We present a novel Dynamic Monte Carlo code (DynaMo code) which self-consistently simulates the Compton scattering driven dynamic evolution of a plasma. We use the DynaMo code to investigate the time-dependent expansion and acceleration of dissipationless GRB fireballs by varying their initial opacities and baryonic content. We study the opacity and energy density evolution of an initially optically thick, radiation-dominated fireball across its entire phase space - in particular during the $R_{\rm ph} < R_{\rm sat}$ regime. Our results reveal new phases of fireball evolution: a transition phase with a radial extent of several orders of magnitude - the fireball transitions from $Γ\propto R$ to $Γ\propto R^0$, a post-photopsheric acceleration phase - where fireballs accelerate beyond the photosphere, and a Thomson-dominated acceleration phase - characterized by slow acceleration of optically thick, matter-dominated fireballs due to Thomson scattering. We quantify the new phases by providing analytical expressions of Lorentz factor evolution, which will be useful for deriving jet parameters.
