Gamma-ray burst interaction with dense interstellar medium

چکیده
Abstract. Interaction of cosmological gamma ray burst radiation with the dense interstellar medium of host galaxy is considered. Gas dynamical motion of interstellar medium driven by gamma ray burst is investigated in 2D approximation for different initial density distributions of host galaxy matter and different total energy of gamma ray burst. The maximum velocity of motion of interstellar medium is 1.8 · 10 km/s. Light curves of gamma ray burst afterglow are calculated for set of non homogeneous density, distribution gamma ray burst total energy, and different viewing angles. Spectra of gamma ray burst afterglow are modeled taking into account conversion of hard photons (soft X-ray, hard UV) to soft UV and optics photons.

A Plasma Instability Theory of Gamma-Ray Burst Emission
A new theory for gamma-ray burst radiation is presented. In this theory, magnetic fields and relativistic electrons are created through plasma processes arising as a relativistic shell passes through the interstellar medium. The gamma-rays are produced through synchrotron self-Compton emission. It is found that shocks do not arise in this theory, and that efficient gamma-ray emission only occur...
متن کاملOn the Variability of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows — A Possibility of a Transition to Nonrelativistic Motion
Variability on time scales δt < t is observed in many gamma-ray burst afterglows. It is well known that there should be no such variability if the afterglow is emitted by external shock, which is produced by the interaction of ultrarelativistic ejecta with the ambient interstellar medium, within the framework of simple models. The corresponding constraints were established by Ioka et al. (2005)...
متن کاملThe Surroundings of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Constraints on Progenitors
The association of a supernova with a gamma-ray burst (GRB 030329) implies a massive star progenitor, which is expected to have an environment formed by pre-burst stellar winds. Although some sources are consistent with the expected wind environment, many are not, being better fit by a uniform density environment. One possibility is that this is a shocked wind, close to the burst because of a h...
متن کاملThe Soft X–ray Afterglow of Gamma Ray Bursts, a Stringent Test for the Fireball Model
I consider the recent discovery of a soft X–ray source inside the error box of the gamma ray burst GB 960720 by the SAX, ASCA and ROSAT satellites, in terms of the fireball model. I show that the ejecta shell, which, after causing the burst is cold and dense, but still relativistic, keeps plowing through the interstellar medium, heating up the just–shocked matter which then emits X–rays. I comp...
متن کاملPrecessing jets interacting with interstellar material as the origin for the light curves of gamma - ray bursts .
We present an internal shock model with external characteristics for explaining the complicated light curves of gamma-ray bursts. Shocks produce gamma-rays in the interaction between a precessing beam of relativistic particles and the interstellar medium. Each time the particle beam passes the same line of sight with the observer the inter stellar medium is pushed outward. Subsequent interactio...
