Gamma-Ray Bursts and Jet-Powered Supernovae
نویسندگان
چکیده
The last five years have seen growing challenges to the traditional paradigm of a core collapse supernova powered by the neutrino emission of a young proto-neutron star. Chief among these challenges are gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the supernovae that seem to accompany them. Here we review some recent and not so recent models for GRBs and supernovae in which strong magnetic fields, rotation, or accretion into a black hole play a role. The conditions for these energetic explosions are special and, at this point, there is no compelling reason to invoke them in the general case. That is, 99% of supernovae may still operate in the traditional fashion.

A Unified Jet Model of X-ray Flashes, X-ray-rich Grbs, and Grbs
HETE-2 has provided strong evidence that the properties of X-Ray Flashes (XRFs), X-ray-rich GRBs, and GRBs form a continuum, and therefore that these three kinds of bursts are the same phenomenon. In this paper, we explore a unified jet model of all three kinds of bursts, using population synthesis simulations of the bursts. We show that both the uniform jet and the universal jet models can exp...
متن کاملConstraints on Jets and Luminosity Function of Gamma-ray Bursts Associated with Supernovae
If Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are generally associated with supernovae like 1998bw, a relatively wide intrinsic luminosity function is implied, which indicates the existence of a large amount of undetected dim bursts, and a much higher event-rate than is often assumed. If it is assumed that the intrinsic luminosity function of GRBs is a power-law: φ(L) ∝ L (β > 0, Lmin ≤ L ≤ Lmax), data from the B...
متن کاملThe supernova-gamma-ray burst-jet connection.
The observed association between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts represents a cornerstone in our understanding of the nature of gamma-ray bursts. The collapsar model provides a theoretical framework for this connection. A key element is the launch of a bipolar jet (seen as a gamma-ray burst). The resulting hot cocoon disrupts the star, whereas the (56)Ni produced gives rise to radioactive heati...
متن کاملA Theory of Gamma - Ray Bursts
Recent observations and theoretical considerations have linked gamma-ray bursts with ultra-bright type Ibc supernovae ('hypernovae'). We here work out a specific scenario for this connection. Based on earlier work, we argue that especially the longest bursts must be powered by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism of electromagnetic extraction of spin energy from a black hole. Such a mechanism require...
