摘要:

与短伽马射线暴(GRB)170817 A相关的引力波事件GW 170817证实了双星中子星(BNS)合并是短伽玛暴的起源之一。相关的kilonova排放,放射性供电的核合成重元素,也被检测到。黑洞-中子星(BH-NS)并合被认为是短伽玛暴和千新星的另一个有希望的起源候选者。数值模拟结果表明,BH-NS并合中的喷出物在几何上比BNS并合情况更具有各向异性。在本文中,我们调查的观测签名的kilonova发射的各向异性喷出物在BH-NS合并。我们发现,由于质量在纬向的不均匀分布,在测热光度光变曲线上出现了一个凸起。单波段光变曲线的衰减斜率变得更平坦,光谱也偏离单温度黑体辐射光谱,由于在速度分布的喷出物的梯度。未来的检测或不检测这样的签名将是有用的,以测试在BH-NS合并的质量喷射几何。

英文摘要:

The gravitational wave event GW170817 associated with the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A confirms that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are one of the origins of short GRBs. The associated kilonova emission, radioactively powered by nucleosynthesized heavy elements, was also detected. Black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers have been argued to be another promising origin candidate of short GRBs and kilonovae. Numerical simulations show that the ejecta in BH-NS mergers is geometrically much more anisotropic than the BNS merger case. In this paper, we investigate observational signatures of kilonova emission from the anisotropic ejecta in BH-NS mergers. We find that a bump appears on the bolometric luminosity light curve due to the inhomogeneous mass distribution in the latitudinal direction. The decay slope of the single-band light curve becomes flatter and the spectrum also deviates from a single-temperature blackbody radiation spectrum due to the gradient in the velocity distribution of the ejecta. Future detection or non-detection of such signatures would be useful to test the mass ejection geometry in BH-NS mergers.
