横向膨胀相对论喷流的减速

Deceleration of relativistic jets with lateral expansion

Wenbin Lu, Paz Beniamini, Austin McDowell

摘要:

提出了一个相对论性喷流与星周介质相互作用的流体力学模型。假设受冲击的CSM和射流材料位于无限薄的表面上,因此将原来的二维问题有效地简化为一维问题。从一般的守恒定律,我们推导出运动方程为每个流体元素沿这个表面,考虑到沿表面法线的减速,由于新扫起的质量和横向扩张,由于压力梯度在切向方向。冲击CSM的压力和能量密度由前向冲击的跳跃条件给出。该方法是实现与有限差分数值方案,随着计算的同步辐射和吸收的冲击加速电子,在一个新的代码$\mathtt{Jedi}$(“射流动力学”)。我们提出了一些测试用例,包括顶帽射流,幂律结构射流,“助推火球”的轮廓,并在风终止冲击的密度跳跃CSM。与其他分析和数值计算的协议的基础上,我们得出结论,我们的简化方法提供了一个很好的近似的流体力学和余辉发射的各种各样的射流结构和CSM密度分布。余辉的有效建模,例如,中子星合并,将提供重要的信息喷流能量,CSM性质,和视角。

英文摘要:

We present a model for the hydrodynamics of a relativistic jet interacting with the circum-stellar medium (CSM). The shocked CSM and the jet material are assumed to be in an infinitely thin surface, so the original 2D problem is effectively reduced to 1D. From general conservation laws, we derive the equation of motion for each fluid element along this surface, taking into account the deceleration along the surface normal due to newly swept-up mass and lateral expansion due to pressure gradient in the tangential direction. The pressure and energy density of the shocked CSM are given by the jump conditions at the forward shock. The method is implemented with a finite-differencing numerical scheme, along with calculation of synchrotron emission and absorption from shock-accelerated electrons, in a new code $\mathtt{Jedi}$ (for "jet dynamics"). We present a number of test cases, including top-hat jet, power-law structured jet, "boosted fireball" profile, and CSM with density jump at the wind termination shock. Based on the agreement with other analytical and numerical calculations, we conclude that our simplified method provides a good approximation for the hydrodynamics and afterglow emission for a wide variety of jet structures and CSM density profiles. Efficient modeling of the afterglow from e.g., neutron star mergers, will provide important information on the jet energetics, CSM properties, and the viewing angle.
