TeV neutrinos and GeV photons from shock breakout in supernovae.
We show that as a Type II supernova shock breaks out of its progenitor star, it becomes collisionless and may accelerate protons to energies >10 TeV. Inelastic nuclear collisions of these protons produce an approximately 1 h long flash of TeV neutrinos and 10 GeV photons, about 10 h after the thermal (10 MeV) neutrino burst from the cooling neutron star. A Galactic supernova in a red supergiant...
متن کاملGrb060218: a Relativistic Supernova Shock Breakout
We show that the prompt and afterglow X-ray emission of GRB060218, as well as its early (t 1 d) optical-UV emission, can be explained by a model in which a radiation-mediated shock propagates through a compact progenitor star into a dense wind. The prompt thermal X-ray emission is produced in this model as the mildly relativistic shock, β ≈ 0.85 carrying few ×10 49 erg, reaches the wind (Thomso...
متن کاملShock Breakout in Core-collapse Supernovae and Its Neutrino Signature
We present results from dynamical models of core-collapse supernovae in one spatial dimension, employing a newly-developed Boltzmann neutrino radiation transport algorithm, coupled to Newtonian Lagrangean hydrodynamics and a consistent high-density nuclear equation of state. The transport method is multi-group, employs the Feautrier technique, uses the tangent-ray approach to resolve angles, is...
متن کاملIdentification of Photons in Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
The possibility of discerning extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy (UHE) photons from those induced by hadrons is studied. Two effects characteristic only for UHE photons are taken into account: LPM effect and photon conversion/cascading in the geomagnetic field. First conclusions about the possibility of identification of photons in the UHE cosmic-ray spectrum are presented and...
