Our simulations reproduce the jet morphology transitioning from a well-collimated state to a thermal pressure-driven state for a range of CSM masses and outer radii. The jet–CSM interaction redistributes the jet energy to materials expanding into a wide solid angle and results in a quasi-spherical ejecta with four-velocities from $Gamma beta simeq 0.1$ to 10. The mass and kinetic energy of the ejecta with velocities faster than $0.1c$ are typically of the order of $0.1, M_{odot }$ and $10^{51}:mbox{erg}$ with only a weak dependence on the CSM mass and radius for the explored CSM parameter ranges. We find that the numerically obtained density structure of the mildly relativistic ejecta is remarkably universal. The radial density profile is well approximated as a power-law function of the radial velocity with an index of $-5$, $rho propto v^{-5}$, in agreement with our previous simulations and other studies, as well as those suggested from recent studies on early-phase spectra of supernovae associated with GRBs. Such fast ejecta rapidly becomes transparent following its expansion. Gradually releasing the trapped thermal photons, the ejecta gives rise to bright UV–optical emission within ${sim} 1:$d. We discuss the potential link of the relativistic ejecta resulting from jet–CSM interaction to GRB-associated supernovae as well as fast and blue optical transients.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141575872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The source of FRBs is still unknown. One possible scenario of an FRB is the collapse of a spinning supra-massive neutron star. Zhang (2014, ApJ, 780, L21) suggests that the collapse can happen shortly (hundreds to thousands of seconds) after the birth of supra-massive neutron stars. The signatures can be visible in X-ray afterglows of long and short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). For instance, a sudden drop (decay index steeper than $-3$ to $-9$) from a shallow decay (decay index shallower than $-1$) in the X-ray afterglow flux can indicate such an event. We selected the X-ray afterglow light curves with a steep decay after the shallow decay phase from the Swift/XRT GRB catalog. We analyzed when the decay index changed suddenly by fitting these light curves to double power-law functions and compared them with the onset of FRBs. We found that none of our GRB samples match the onset of FRBs.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on graphite VSGs which contain free electrons. The energy level statistics devised by Kubo (1962, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., 17, 975) are used for the first time to understand the thermal properties of free electrons in graphite VSGs. We show that the shape irregularity of the grains allows graphite VSGs to absorb or emit photons at submillimeter wavelengths or longer; otherwise, the frequency is limited to above a few THz. Additionally, we consider the decrease in Debye temperature due to the surface effect. VSGs have an extremely small volume, resulting in limited thermal energy storage, especially at low temperatures. Since a VSG is able to emit a photon with energy smaller than its internal energy, this determines the maximum frequency of the emitted photon. We develop a Monte Carlo simulation code to track the thermal history of a dust grain, considering the stochastic heating from the absorption of ambient photons and radiative cooling. This approach is applied to the interstellar environment to compute the spectral energy distributions from the interstellar graphite dust grains. The results show that graphite VSGs emit not only the mid-infrared excess emission, but also a surplus emission from submillimeter to millimeter wavelengths.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present kinematics and molecular gas distributions in the longitude–velocity diagram, and suggest that the Brick is located along the GC Arm I in the central molecular zone (CMZ), which yields a distance from the Sun of 8 kpc and a Galactocentric distance of 0.2 kpc. The major- and minor-axis diameters of the Brick are $D_xtimes D_y=8.4 times 4.1, {rm pc}$ at position angles of 40 and $130^circ$, respectively, and the scale radius is $r_{rm Bri}=sqrt{D_x D_y}=2.96, {rm pc}$. The molecular mass inferred from the $^{12}$CO-line integrated intensity is $M_{mathrm{Bri};X_mathrm{CO}}sim 5.1times 10^4, M_odot$ for a conversion factor $X_{rm CO;GC}=1.0times 10^{20}$ H$_2$ cm $^{-2}$ [K km s$^{-1}]^{-1}$. On the other hand, the dynamical (virial) mass for the measured velocity dispersion of $sigma _v=10.0, {rm km s^{-1}}$ is calculated to be $M_{rm Bri;vir}sim 6.8 times 10^4,M_odot$, which yields a new conversion factor of $X_{rm CO;Bri}=1.3times 10^{20}$ H$_2$ cm $^{-2}$ [K km s$^{-1}]^{-1}$. The Brick’s center has a cavity surrounded by a spherical molecular bubble of radius $r_{rm bub}=1.85$ pc and mass $sim 1.7times 10^4,M_odot$ expanding at $v_{rm exp}simeq 10 {rm km s^{-1}}$ with a kinetic energy of $E_0sim 1.7times 10^{49}$ erg. If the bubble is approximated by an adiabatic spherical shock wave, the age is estimated to be $tsim 2/5 r_{rm bub}/v_{rm exp}sim 7.2times 10^4$ yr. Neither non-thermal radio structures nor thermal radio emission indicative of the H ii region are found in the archival data from MeerKAT.

One outstanding question is how electrons and ions approach an equilibrium after they were heated to different immediate-postshock temperatures. In order to fill the significant lack of observational information of the downstream temperature-relaxation process, we observe a thermal-dominant X-ray filament in the northwest of SN 1006 with Chandra. We divide this region into four layers with a thickness of $15^{prime prime }$ or $0.16:$pc each, and fit each spectrum by a non-equilibrium ionization collisional plasma model.

In this paper, as a sequel to our previous study, we analytically investigate the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks corresponding to Class 0/I young stellar objects using the modified steady accretion disk model combining an analytical model of envelope accretion. We estimate that the disk radius is several astronomical units at the disk formation epoch and increases to several hundred astronomical units at the end of the accretion phase. The disk mass is estimated to be $0.01 lesssim M_{rm disk} lesssim 0.1 , M_odot$ for a disk with a radius of several tens of astronomical units and a mass accretion rate of $dot{M}_{rm disk} sim 10^{-6} , M_odot ,, {rm yr^{-1}}$. These estimates seems to be consistent with recent observations. We also found that, with typical disk ionization rates (ζ ≳ 10−19 s−1) and a moderate mass accretion rate ($dot{M}_{rm disk}gtrsim 10^{-8} , M_odot ,, {rm yr^{-1}}$), magnetorotational instability is suppressed in the disk because of low plasma β and efficient ambipolar diffusion. We argue that the radial profile of specific angular momentum (or rotational velocity) at the disk outer edge should be continuously connected to that of the envelope if the disk evolves by magnetic braking, and should be discontinuous if the disk evolves by an internal angular momentum transport process such as gravitational instability or magnetorotational instability. Future detailed observations of the specific angular momentum profile around the disk outer edge are important for understanding the angular momentum transport mechanism of protoplanetary disks.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that such ORCs are synchrotron emission from remnants of explosive galactic outflows, calling them OGREs, and discuss their broad-band non-thermal emission and evolution. We posit that a large amount of energy was ejected from the central galaxy in the past, creating an outgoing shock that accelerates cosmic rays. Assuming plausible values for the density, temperature and magnetic field of the ambient medium, consistency with the observed spectral index, size, and power of the ORCs requires the energy to be as high as ∼1060 erg, suggesting that their sources could be active galactic nuclei. We calculate the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the OGREs and their evolution, including synchrotron, inverse Compton (IC), and bremsstrahlung emission from electrons, and pion-decay emission from protons. We find that the SEDs of the younger OGREs are not greatly different from those of older ones currently observable as ORCs if radiative cooling of electrons is effective. As such younger OGREs are expected to be rarer and smaller, they may not be readily observable. However, if radiative cooling of electrons is ineffective, younger OGREs may be detectable in X-rays.","PeriodicalId":20733,"journal":{"name":"Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We derived the X-ray efficiency (η) concerning the spin-down luminosity to be 0.012 (0.0022–0.074), a value comparable to that of ordinary neutron star pulsars. The inferred X-ray luminosity may be compatible with curvature radiation from sub-TeV electrons accelerated within open magnetic fields in the magnetosphere of ZTF J1901+14.
