AI总结:

本研究追踪伽马射线暴喷流中从深亚光球层到观测信号的辐射演化,发现高光深下辐射有三种特征区制,部分高能幂律可在脉冲上升段显现,结果适用于所有光学厚相对论外流。

摘要:

从相对论性喷流中退耦的光子会在一定半径范围内完成退耦,这会导致光子到达观测者的时间出现展宽。因此,退耦区内共动光子分布的变化会被编码在发射信号中。本文研究了发生在单个脉冲内的此类光谱演化。我们追踪了从深亚光球层区域一直到观测到的时间分辨信号的辐射过程,考虑了不同角度和半径处的发射。我们假设在一定光深范围内注入简单的幂律光子谱,并让光子与局地等离子体相互作用。在高光深条件下,我们发现辐射存在三种特征区制,其中两种呈现高能幂律分布。根据注入的性质不同,该幂律可以持续到低光深区域,并在脉冲的上升阶段显现,其光谱指数β≈α−1,其中α为低能光谱指数。本研究结果是在伽马射线暴喷流的背景下给出的,但对光学厚的相对论性外流具有普适性。

英文摘要:

Photons that decouple from a relativistic jet do so over a range of radii, which leads to a spreading in arrival times at the observer. Therefore, changes to the comoving photon distribution across the decoupling zone are encoded in the emitted signal. In this paper, we study such spectral evolution occurring across a pulse. We track the radiation from the deep subphotospheric regions all the way to the observed time-resolved signal, accounting for emission at various angles and radii. We assume a simple power-law photon spectrum injection over a range of optical depths and let the photons interact with the local plasma. At high optical depths, we find that the radiation exists in one of three characteristic regimes, two of which exhibit a high-energy power law. Depending on the nature of the injection, this power law can persist to low optical depths and manifest itself during the rise time of the pulse with a spectral index $β\approx α- 1$, where $α$ is the low-energy spectral index. The results are given in the context of a gamma-ray burst jet but are general to optically thick, relativistic outflows.
