Perspectives on Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) - Enigma and a Tool Tsvi Piran Racah Institute of Physics, The Hebrew University Tuesday, February 7, 2012 Once or twice a day we see a burst of low energy gamma-rays from the outer space lasting


  1. Some bursts show an “isotropic equivalent” energy of >10 54 ergs. This is more than a solar rest mass -> The emission must be beamed Relativistic Jets Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  23. Low luminosity GRBs - ll GRBs don’ t arise from Collapsars ll GRBs T B 98bw Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  24. Low Luminosity GRBs - ll GRBs Bromberg Nakar, TP, 11 ApJL 2011 counts • Low luminosity GRBs: • E iso ~10 48 -10 49 ergs • Smooth single peaked light curve. time • Soft Emission (E peak <150 keV) • Much more numerous than SN Ib/c Rate regular long GRBs! llGRBs • ll GRBs dont have enoug Short power to penetrate the star Long Wanderman & Piran Energy Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  25. Jet Simulations - A Failed Jet (Obergaulinger, Piran + 11) Opening angle of 15 o degrees at 2000 km into a star of 15 solar masses and solar metallicity. Constant energy injection rate, 5 * 10 50 erg/s, for 2 seconds. Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  26. What makes a ll GRBs? Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  27. What makes a ll GRBs? A weak jet that fails to break out (“ a failed GRB ”). Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  28. What makes a ll GRBs? A weak jet that fails to break out (“ a failed GRB ”). We observe the shock breakout form the stellar envelope (Colgate, 1967; Katz, Budnik, Waxman, 2010; Nakar & Sari, 2011) Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  29. Three types of GRBs Collapsars - collapse of a massive star - generation of a jet that penetrates the envlope and produces γ- rays at a large distance Mergers - mergers of two neutron stars produce short GRBs low luminosity GRBs - produced by a shock breakout from a supernova.
