摘要:

最近探测到了中子双星系统(GW 170817)合并产生的第一个引力波事件。相关的短伽马射线暴(GRB 170817 A)具有低各向同性光度($\sim 10^{47}$ erg s $ ^{-1}$)和峰值能量$E_{p}\sim 145$ keV,在初始主发射期间在-0.3和0.4 s之间。这种短伽玛暴的起源仍在争论中,但一个合理的解释是,它是由于离轴发射的结构射流。我们考虑两种可能性。首先,由于GRB 170817 A主脉冲的最佳拟合光谱模型是具有硬低能光子指数($α=-0.62_{-0.54}^{+0.49} $)的截止幂律,因此我们考虑离轴光球模型。我们发展了一个光球层发射的结构射流的理论,并发现这样的模型可以重现一个低能量的光子指数,这是软比黑体通过增强高纬度的发射。该模型可以自然地解释所观察到的光谱。沿视线的最佳拟合洛伦兹因子是$\sim 20$,它要求在合并和喷气式飞机发射之间有一个显著的延迟。另外,我们认为,通过同步辐射在光学薄的区域中,在一个不断扩大的喷流减少磁场的发射。该模型不需要延迟喷气发动机的发射,但需要沿视线较大的体积洛伦兹因子。我们执行马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗拟合的数据在这两个模型的框架内,并获得良好的拟合结果在这两种情况下。

英文摘要:

The first gravitational-wave event from the merger of a binary neutron star system (GW170817) was detected recently. The associated short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) has a low isotropic luminosity ($\sim 10^{47}$ erg s$ ^{-1}$) and a peak energy $E_{p}\sim 145$ keV during the initial main emission between -0.3 and 0.4 s. The origin of this short GRB is still under debate, but a plausible interpretation is that it is due to the off-axis emission from a structured jet. We consider two possibilities. First, since the best-fit spectral model for the main pulse of GRB 170817A is a cutoff power law with a hard low-energy photon index ($α=-0.62_{-0.54}^{+0.49} $), we consider an off-axis photosphere model. We develop a theory of photosphere emission in a structured jet and find that such a model can reproduce a low-energy photon index that is softer than a blackbody through enhancing high-latitude emission. The model can naturally account for the observed spectrum. The best-fit Lorentz factor along the line of sight is $\sim 20$, which demands that there is a significant delay between the merger and jet launching. Alternatively, we consider that the emission is produced via synchrotron radiation in an optically thin region in an expanding jet with decreasing magnetic fields. This model does not require a delay of jet launching but demands a larger bulk Lorentz factor along the line of sight. We perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo fitting to the data within the framework of both models and obtain good fitting results in both cases.
