We discuss the physics of the power source for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). There is a great variety of stellar systems proposed
as progenitors of long and short GRBs, but any current model for the engine ultimately involves the formation of a hyper-accreting
disk around a newly-formed black hole of a few solar masses. The study of such disks can shed light onto the burst composition
and energy content. We present preliminary results from disk vertical structure calculations. These include neutrino transport,
a height-dependent determination of the nuclear composition, and a simplified treatment of turbulent mixing. We find that
vertical mixing is rapid enough to largely erase compositional gradients, and as a consequence the upper layers of the disk
reflect the neutron-rich composition of the midplane close to the black hole. We review the implications of this for the nuclear
composition of outflows in GRBs. Our models suggest an increasing role for pairs in the upper regions of the disk, and we
speculate that a pair-driven wind could be a significant source of cooling.

Investigation of the single neutron exposure model for the s-process: the primary nature of the neutron source 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The primary nature of the 13 C neutron source is very significant for the studies of the s -process nucleosynthesis. In this paper we present an attempt to fit the element abundances observed in 16 s -rich stars using parametric model of the single neutron exposure. The calculated results indicate that almost all s -elements were made in a single neutron exposure for nine sample stars. Although a large spread of neutron exposure is obtained, the maximum value of the neutron exposure will reach about 7.0 mbarn−1 , which is close to the theoretical predictions by the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) model. The calculated result is a significant evidence for the primary nature of the neutron source. Combining the result obtained in this work and the neutron exposure–initial mass relations, a large spread of neutron exposure can be explained by the different initial stellar mass and their time evolution. The possibility that the rotationally induced mixing process can lead to a spread of the neutron exposure in AGB stars is also existent. 相似文献

For the presupernova model Wsl5M⊙, we re-calculate the electron capture (EC) timescale and hydrodynamical (HD) timescale. We found that the EC timescale can be smaller than the HD timescale in the inner region of the collapse iron core at the moment immediately before the shock wave bounce. The change in these two timescales at the late stage of core collapse is expected to affect the collapse velocity. If the late-time collapse velocity is artificially increased by a small quantity, then prompt explosion of the supernova may happen. Further calculations are still needed to check the plausibility of the acceleration mechanism caused by the faster EC process. 相似文献

The structure of steady, one-dimensional detonation waves in C–O is investigated for initial densities in the range 2×107 to 1×109 g cm−3 . At these and greater densities, the self-supporting detonation wave is of the pathological type. For such waves the detonation speed is an eigenvalue of the steady equations, and the reaction zone contains an internal frozen sonic point where the thermicity vanishes. The self-supporting flow downstream of this singular point is supersonic, and is very different from that in supported (overdriven) detonations. A method for determining the structure of pathological detonation waves is described. These waves are examined, and the self-sustaining wave is compared with and contrasted to the supported detonations considered previously by Khokhlov. We show that the thickness of the self-sustaining detonation is a few times the thickness of supported detonations, and that the self-sustaining detonation produces more of the iron-peak and less of the intermediate mass elements than do supported detonations. Implications for the cellular detonation instability are also discussed. 相似文献

We report small but significant variations in the 58Ni/61Ni-normalised 60Ni/61Ni and 62Ni/61Ni ratios (expressed as ε60Ni and ε62Ni) of bulk iron and chondritic meteorites. Carbonaceous chondrites have variable, positive ε62Ni (0.05 to 0.25), whereas ordinary chondrites have negative ε62Ni (− 0.04 to − 0.09). The Ni isotope compositions of iron meteorites overlap with those of chondrites, and define an array with negative slope in the ε60Ni versus ε62Ni diagram. The Ni isotope compositions of the volatile-depleted Group IVB irons are similar to those of the refractory CO, CV carbonaceous chondrites, whereas the other common magmatic iron groups have Ni isotope compositions similar to ordinary chondrites. Only enstatite chondrites have identical Ni isotope compositions to Earth and so appear to represent the most appropriate terrestrial building material. Differences in ε62Ni reflect distinct nucleosynthetic components in precursor solids that have been variably mixed, but some of the ε60Ni variability could reflect a radiogenic component from the decay of 60Fe. Comparison of the ε60Ni of iron and chondritic meteorites with the same ε62Ni allows us to place upper limits on the 60Fe/56Fe of planetesimals during core segregation. We estimate that carbonaceous chondrites had initial 60Fe/56Fe < 1 × 10− 7. Our data place less good constraints on initial 60Fe/56Fe ratios of ordinary chondrites but our results are not incompatible with values as high as 3 × 10− 7 as determined by in-situ measurements. We suggest that the Ni isotope variations and apparently heterogeneous initial 60Fe/56Fe results from physical sorting within the protosolar nebula of different phases (silicate, metal and sulphide) that carry different isotopic signatures. 相似文献

Nova outbursts on rotating oblate white dwarfs 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A novel hypothesis is proposed in which the prolate geometry and latitudinal abundance gradients observed in nova ejecta are simultaneously explained as a natural consequence of the rotation and oblate distortion of the white dwarf. Thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an oblate rotating white dwarf is strongly affected by the local gravity, leading to stronger outbursts and faster outflows at the poles than in the equatorial regions. A unified scheme is presented which is capable of explaining the gross structures of the shells of classical novae, those 'recurrent novae' with giant companions, and symbiotic novae, which also show evidence for bipolar outbursts. It is shown that this hypothesis is capable of producing the observed geometry of the ejecta of the classical novae DQ Her 1934, V1500 Cyg 1975 and GK Per 1901, the recurrent nova RS Oph (1985 outburst), and the symbiotic nova HM Sge. Some observationally testable predictions which follow from this hypothesis are discussed. 相似文献

Coulomb corrections to the equation of state of degenerate matter are usually neglected in high-temperature regimes, owing to the inverse dependence of the plasma coupling constant, Γ, on temperature. However, nuclear statistical equilibrium matter is characterized by a large abundance by mass of large- Z (iron group) nuclei. It is found that Coulomb corrections to the ion ideal gas equation of state of matter in nuclear statistical equilibrium are important at temperatures T ≲5–10×109 K and densities ρ ≳108 g cm−3 . At a temperature T =8.5×109 K and a density ρ =8×109 g cm−3 , the neutronization rate is larger by ≳28 per cent when Coulomb corrections are included. However, the conductive velocity of a thermonuclear deflagration wave in C–O drops by ∼16 per cent when Coulomb corrections to the heat capacity are taken into account. The implications for SNIa models and nucleosynthesis, and also for the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs, are discussed. Particularly relevant is the result that the minimum density for collapse of a white dwarf to a neutron star is shifted down to 5.5–6×109 g cm−3 , a value substantially lower than previously thought. 相似文献
