摘要:

双星中子星合并事件GW 170817的对应物AT 2017 gfo kilonova的特征是在光学和紫外波段的早期亮峰。这种蓝色的千诺瓦通常被解释为快速膨胀风中弱$r$过程核合成的特征,其起源目前仍有争议。用微物理状态方程、近似中微子输运和湍流粘性进行的数值相对论模拟揭示了一种可以为蓝色千诺瓦提供动力的新机制。残留物中的螺旋密度波产生质量为${\sim}10^{-2}~M_{\odot}$、速度为${\sim}0.2$ c的特征风。喷射出的物质的电子分数主要分布在$0.25$上方,部分被膨胀臂中的流体动力学冲击再处理。动态喷出物和螺旋波风的结合可以解释太阳系中$r$过程元素的丰度和早期观测到的光变曲线。

英文摘要:

The AT2017gfo kilonova counterpart of the binary neutron star merger event GW170817 was characterized by an early-time bright peak in optical and UV bands. Such blue kilonova is commonly interpreted as a signature of weak $r$-process nucleosynthesis in a fast expanding wind whose origin is currently debated. Numerical-relativity simulations with microphysical equations of state, approximate neutrino transport, and turbulent viscosity reveal a new mechanism that can power the blue kilonova. Spiral density waves in the remnant generate a characteristic wind of mass ${\sim}10^{-2}~M_{\odot}$ and velocity ${\sim}0.2$c. The ejected material has electron fraction mostly distributed above $0.25$ being partially reprocessed by hydrodynamic shocks in the expanding arms. The combination of dynamical ejecta and spiral-wave wind can account for solar system abundances of $r$-process elements and early-time observed light curves.
