AI总结:

通过二维广义相对论中微子磁流体动力学模拟,发现强磁场使磁化白矮星吸积诱导坍缩喷射出约0.2太阳质量的中子-rich物质,实现强r-过程核合成至第三峰以上,产生富含镧系元素的千新星,并与AT 2023vfi/GRB 230307A观测吻合。

摘要:

我们展示了首个端到端计算,将磁化、快速旋转白矮星的吸积诱导坍缩(AIC)与可观测的千新星特征联系起来,结合了二维广义相对论中微子磁流体动力学模拟,随后进行具有原位核网络的辐射流体动力学和具有空间分辨加热率的二维蒙特卡罗辐射传输。与所有先前未磁化的AIC模型(预测富质子、以$^{56}$Ni为主的抛射物)不同,强磁场在动力学时间尺度上喷射出约$0.2 M_\odot$的中子-rich材料($\langle Y_e \rangle \sim 0.24$),在中微子辐照提高电子分数之前,使得强r-过程核合成能够达到并超过第三峰。由此产生的千新星富含镧系元素($X_{\rm lan} \approx 8\%$),并以近红外辐射为主。我们计算了LSST和JWST波段中的合成光变曲线,发现对于极向视角,AT 2023vfi/GRB 230307A的观测与我们的宽带光变曲线惊人地一致,无需参数调整。这些结果确立了磁化AIC作为重r-过程元素产生的可行通道,以及作为具有千新星特征的长伽马射线暴的有前途的前身候选者。

英文摘要:

We present the first end-to-end calculation connecting the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a magnetized, rapidly rotating white dwarf to observable kilonova signatures, combining 2D general-relativistic neutrino-magnetohydrodynamic simulations, followed by radiation hydrodynamics with in-situ nuclear network and 2D Monte Carlo radiative transfer with spatially resolved heating rates. Unlike all previous unmagnetized AIC models - which predicted proton-rich, $^{56}$Ni-dominated ejecta - strong magnetic fields eject ${\sim 0.2 M_\odot}$ of neutron-rich material $(\langle Y_e \rangle \sim 0.24)$ on dynamical timescales, before neutrino irradiation can raise the electron fraction, enabling strong $r$-process nucleosynthesis up to and beyond the third peak. The resulting kilonova is lanthanide-rich $(X_{\rm lan} \approx 8\%)$ and dominated by near-infrared emission. We compute synthetic light curves in the LSST and JWST bands and find striking agreement, without parameter tuning, between the observations of AT 2023vfi/GRB 230307A and our broadband light curves for polar viewing angles. These results establish magnetized AIC as a viable channel for heavy $r$-process element production and a compelling progenitor candidate for long-duration gamma-ray bursts with kilonova signatures.
