A ST R O - P H - 9 50 10 05 Gamma - Ray Transfer and Energy Deposition in Supernovae Douglas
Solutions to the energy-independent (gray) radiative transfer equations are compared to results of Monte Carlo simulations of the Ni and Co radioactive decay -ray energy deposition in supernovae. The comparison shows that an e ective, purely absorptive, gray opacity, (0:06 0:01)Ye cm 2 g , where Ye is the total number of electrons per baryon, accurately describes the interaction of -rays with t...
متن کاملApplication of FLUKA code to gamma-ray attenuation, energy deposition and dose calculations
Background: In radiation therapy, water is the phantom material of choice, both for reference and for relative dosimetry measurements. Solid phantoms, however, are more useful for routine measurements because they tend to be more robust and easier to set up than water phantoms. Materials and Methods: FLUKA input data cards have been arranged in sequential order. A simple cylindrical geometry wi...
متن کاملSupernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts
Supernovae are explosions of stars which are triggered either by the implosion of the core of a star or a thermonuclear runaway, causing a bright optical display lasting for weeks to years. This chapter first explains the main explosion types, how they are classified and the principles that determine their lightcurves. It then discusses in more detail some of the most important supernova types,...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts and Jet-Powered Supernovae
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 ...
متن کاملSupernovae, Gamma-Ray Bursts, and Stellar Rotation
One of the most dramatic possible consequences of stellar rotation is its influence on stellar death, particularly of massive stars. If the angular momentum of the iron core when it collapses is such as to produce a neutron star with a period of 5 ms or less, rotation will have important consequences for the supernova explosion mechanism. Still shorter periods, corresponding to a neutron star r...
