Ten Supernova-rise in Binary Driven Gamma-ray Bursts

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2024-06-06 v2

Abstract

The observation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) associated with a supernova (SN) coincides remarkably with the energy output from a binary system comprising a very massive carbon-oxygen (CO) core and an associated binary neutron star (NS) by the Binary-Driven Hypernova (BdHN) model. The dragging effect in the late evolution of such systems leads to co-rotation, with binary periods on the order of minutes, resulting in a very fast rotating core and a binary NS companion at a distance of 105\sim 10^5 km. Such a fast-rotating CO core, stripped of its hydrogen and helium, undergoes gravitational collapse and, within a fraction of seconds, leads to a supernova (SN) and a newly born, fast-spinning neutron star (ν\nuNS), we name the emergence of the SN and the ν\nuNS as the SN-rise and ν\nuNS-rise. Typically, the SN energies range from 105110^{51} to 105310^{53} erg. We address this issue by examining 10 cases of Type-I BdHNe, the most energetic ones, in which SN accretion onto the companion NS leads to the formation of a black hole (BH). In all ten cases, the energetics of the SN events are estimated, ranging between 0.180.18 and 12×105212 \times 10^{52} erg. Additionally, in all 8 sources at redshift zz closer than 4.614.61, a clear thermal blackbody component has been identified, with temperatures between 6.26.2 and 39.9939.99 keV, as a possible signature of pair-driven SN. The triggering of the X-ray afterglow induced by the ν\nuNS-rise are identified in three cases at high redshift where early X-ray observations are achievable, benefits from the interplay of cosmological effects.
