Rebound Shock Breakouts of Exploding Massive Stars: A MHD Void Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
With a self-similar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of an exploding progenitor star and an outgoing rebound shock and with the thermal bremsstrahlung as the major radiation mechanism in X-ray bands, we reproduce the early X-ray light curve observed for the recent event of XRO 080109/SN 2008D association. The X-ray light curve consists of a fast rise, as the shock travels into the “visible layer" in the stellar envelope, and a subsequent power-law decay, as the plasma cools in a self-similar evolution. The observed spectral softening is naturally expected in our rebound MHD shock scenario. We propose to attribute the “non-thermal spectrum" observed to be a superposition of different thermal spectra produced at different layers of the stellar envelope.

Global galactic dynamo driven by cosmic-rays and exploding magnetized stars
We report first results of first global galactic-scale CR-MHD simulations of cosmicray-driven dynamo. We investigate the dynamics of magnetized interstellar medium (ISM), which is dynamically coupled with the cosmic-ray (CR) gas. We assume that exploding stars deposit small-scale, randomly oriented, dipolar magnetic fields into the differentially rotating ISM, together with a portion of cosmic ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Rebound Shocks of Supernovae
We construct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) similarity rebound shocks joining ‘quasistatic’ asymptotic solutions around the central degenerate core to explore an MHD model for the evolution of random magnetic field in supernova explosions. This provides a theoretical basis for further studying synchrotron diagnostics, MHD shock acceleration of cosmic rays, and the nature of intense magnetic field in...
متن کاملSupernovae , Jets , and Collapsars
We consider the explosion of supernovae and the possible production of a variety of high energy transients by delayed black hole formation in massive stars endowed with rotation. Following the launch of a " successful " shock by the usual neutrino powered mechanism, the inner layers of the star move outwards, but lack adequate energy to eject all the matter exterior to the neutron star. Over a ...
متن کاملEnvelope Expansion with Core Collapse. III. Similarity Isothermal Shocks in a Magnetofluid
We explore magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solutions for envelope expansions with core collapse (EECC) with isothermal MHD shocks in a quasi-spherical symmetry and outline potential astrophysical applications of such magnetized shock flows. By including a random magnetic field in a gas medium, we further extend the recent isothermal shock results of Bian & Lou who have unified earlier similarity isot...
متن کاملMagnetized massive stars as magnetar progenitors
The origin of ultra-intense magnetic fields on magnetars is a mystery in modern astrophysics. We model the core collapse dynamics of massive progenitor stars with high surface magnetic fields in the theoretical framework of a self-similar general polytropic magnetofluid under the self-gravity with a quasi-spherical symmetry. With the specification of physical parameters such as mass density, te...
