A Generic Dynamical Model of Gamma-ray Burst Remnants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conventional generic model is deemed to explain the dynamics of γ-ray burst remnants very well, no matter whether they are adiabatic or highly radiative. However, we find that for adiabatic expansion, the model could not reproduce the Sedov solution in the non-relativistic phase, thus the model needs to be revised. In the present paper, a new differential equation is derived. The generic model based on this equation has been shown to be correct for both radiative and adiabatic fireballs, and in both ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic phase.

Dynamical Evolution of Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants with Evolving Radiative Efficiency
In previous works, a generic dynamical model has been suggested by Huang et al., which is shown to be correct for both adiabatic and radiative blastwaves, and in both ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic phases. In deriving their equations, Huang et al. have assumed that the radiative efficiency of the fireball is constant. They then applied their model directly to realistic cases where the ...
متن کاملHypernova and Gamma-ray Burst Remnants as Tev Unidentified Sources
We investigate hypernova (hyper-energetic supernova) and gamma-ray burst (GRB) remnants in our Galaxy as TeV gamma-ray sources, particularly in the role of potential TeV unidentified sources, which have no clear counterpart at other wavelengths. We show that the observed bright sources in the TeV sky could be dominated by GRB/hypernova remnants, even though they are fewer than supernova remnant...
متن کاملRemnants from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We model the intermediate time evolution of a “jetted” gamma-ray burst by two blobs of matter colliding with the interstellar medium. We follow the hydrodynamical evolution of this system numerically and calculate the bremsstrahlung and synchrotron images of the remnant. We find that for a burst energy of 10 erg the remnant becomes spherical after ∼ 5000 years when it collects ∼ 50M⊙ of interst...
متن کاملDynamical Evolution, Light-curves and Spectra of Spherical and Collimated Gamma-ray Burst Remnants
We present an analytical approach to the dynamical evolution of fireballs or axially symmetric jets expanding into an external medium, with application to Gamma-Ray Burst remnants. This method leads to numerical calculations of fireball dynamics that are computationally faster than hydrodynamic simulations. It is also a very flexible approach, that can be easily extended to include more complex...
متن کاملIdentifying Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants in Nearby Galaxies
We study the spectral signatures arising from cooling and recombination of an interstellar medium whose equilibrium state has been altered over ∼ 100 pc by the radiation of a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) and its afterglow. We identify signatures in the line diagnostics which are indicative of a photo-ionized GRB remnant which is ∼< 5 × 10 4 years old . We estimate that at least a few such remnants sho...
