摘要:

最近从中子星(NS)合并事件GW 170817的引力波的检测和电磁对应物的识别提供了一个独特的机会,研究在NS合并的物理过程。为了获得从NS合并喷出的材料的属性,我们进行辐射转移模拟的kilonova,光学和近红外辐射供电的放射性衰变的r-过程核的合并中合成。我们发现,观测到的近红外发射持续超过10天的解释是0.03 Msun的喷出物含有镧系元素。然而,在初始阶段观察到的蓝色光学成分需要具有相对高的电子分数(Ye)的喷出物成分。我们表明,光学和近红外发射同时再现的喷出物与介质叶~ 0.25。我们认为,一个占主导地位的组件供电的排放合并后的喷出物,这表明,质量喷射后,第一次动态喷射是相当有效的。我们的研究结果表明,NS合并综合了广泛的r-过程元素,并加强了假设,NS合并是宇宙中的r-过程元素的起源。

英文摘要:

Recent detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star (NS) merger event GW170817 and identification of an electromagnetic counterpart provide a unique opportunity to study the physical processes in NS mergers. To derive properties of ejected material from the NS merger, we perform radiative transfer simulations of kilonova, optical and near-infrared emissions powered by radioactive decays of r-process nuclei synthesized in the merger. We find that the observed near-infrared emission lasting for > 10 days is explained by 0.03 Msun of ejecta containing lanthanide elements. However, the blue optical component observed at the initial phases requires an ejecta component with a relatively high electron fraction (Ye). We show that both optical and near-infrared emissions are simultaneously reproduced by the ejecta with a medium Ye of ~ 0.25. We suggest that a dominant component powering the emission is post-merger ejecta, which exhibits that mass ejection after the first dynamical ejection is quite efficient. Our results indicate that NS mergers synthesize a wide range of r-process elements and strengthen the hypothesis that NS mergers are the origin of r-process elements in the Universe.
