63 Origin of GeV Emission

64 PS Where dose the High Energy emission come from? Internal? - External?

65 A Dilemma (e.g, C) GBM GBM LAT LAT In spectral domain, one single component (GeV component seems to be natural extentension of Lower energy parts)

66 A Dilemma (e.g, C) GBM GBM LAT LAT In spectral domain, one single component (GeV component seems to be natural extentension of Lower energy parts) In light curve domain, two different components. (Different decay slopes)

67 A Dilemma (e.g, C) GBM GBM LAT LAT In spectral domain, one single component (GeV component seems to be natural extentension of Lower energy parts) How to solve the dilemma? In light curve domain, two different components. (Different decay slopes)

68 A Dilemma (e.g, C) Internal GBM GBM External LAT LAT In light curve domain, two different components. (Different decay slopes)

69 A Dilemma (e.g, C) Internal GBM GBM External LAT LAT Have to interpret.

70 Solution 1: Superposition in Spectrum Internal GBM GBM External LAT LAT Have to interpret.

71 Solution 1: Superposition in Spectrum A Big Issue: Since observation shows Band function in every time slice. ---> have to assume superposition of external and internal components in each time slice to make a Band function umar, & Barniol Duran, 2010.

72 A Dilemma of Superpositions Superposition in Spectrum Plus, our simulation shows that the external shock model can NOT reproduce a so steep light curve during the prompt emission phase (Amanda Maxham, Bin-Bin Zhang And Bing Zhang, 2011 submitted,arxiv: )

73 Maxham, Zhang B-B and Zhang,B, 2011, MNRAS, in press Using the MeV prompt emission (GBM) data record the energy output from the central engine as a function of time

74 Maxham, Zhang B-B and Zhang,B, 2011, MNRAS, in press Using the MeV prompt emission (GBM) data record the energy output from the central engine as a function of time (assuming a constant radiative efficiency) track energy accumulation in the external shock

75 Maxham, Zhang B-B and Zhang,B, 2011, MNRAS, in press Using the MeV prompt emission (GBM) data record the energy output from the central engine as a function of time (assuming a constant radiative efficiency) track energy accumulation in the external shock calculate the high energy emission lightcurve in the LAT band

76 Maxham, Zhang B-B and Zhang,B, 2011, MNRAS, in press Using the MeV prompt emission (GBM) data record the energy output from the central engine as a function of time (assuming a constant radiative efficiency) track energy accumulation in the external shock calculate the high energy emission lightcurve in the LAT band Our Simulation shows that : The late time LAT light curves after T90 can be well fit by the model. The early external shock emission cannot account for the observed GeV flux level.

79 A Dilemma (e.g, C) GBM GBM LAT LAT Have to interpret

80 Solution 2 Superposition in Light Curve GBM GBM LAT LAT Have to interpret

81 Solution 2 Superposition in Light Curve a dominant internal emission component + gradually enhancing external shock component Maxham, Zhang B-B and Zhang,B 2011, MNRAS, in press Prompt Emission Phase

82 Further Evidence for Internal Origin of Prompt GeV Rough Tracking Light Curve btw GBM and LAT

83 Further Evidence for Internal Origin of Prompt GeV Rough Tracking Light Curve btw GBM and LAT For C, GeV peak Coincides the Second Peak of GBM light Curve (logscale) cf, talk by Ghisellini

84 If Prompt GeV emission is internal, how to interpret the onset delay? Possibility 1: Possibility 2: hange of particle acceleration echanism arly on, the particle acceleration process ay not be so efficient, so the electron nergy spectral index is steep

85 If Prompt GeV emission is internal, how to interpret the onset delay? Possibility 1: hange of particle acceleration echanism arly on, the particle acceleration process ay not be so efficient, so the electron nergy spectral index is steep Possibility 2: Change of Opacity particle acceleration process is the same, the pair-production opacity changes early on. supporting evidence: 1) GBM alone spectra give similar beta with later epochs 2) gradual increase of the maximum energy with time

95 PS Where dose the High Energy emission come from? Internal? - External? - Both ()

96 PS Where dose the High Energy emission come from? Internal? - Entire Band Function is from Sync Emission - External? - Sync emission from External forward shock - Both ()

97 Summary Three Elemental Spectral Components are observed in Fermi/LAT GRBs Prompt GeV emission is likely of internal origin. Long term GeV emission is likely of external origins. Further Co-triggered Bursts by Swift and Fermi would help to narrow down the physical origins of GeV emissions.

101 Q&A 1. Band or BB: due to Binning effect? 2. How to Change the particle acceleration Mechanism 3. What Changes the Opacity 4. What are the possibilities for GeV Onset Delay? 5. Constrains from Observed kev-gev Band Function 6. How to choose Models?

102 Band or BB: due to Binning effect? No Time bins, Δt/(1+z), in rest frame for C and B are comparable

103 How to Change the particle acceleration Mechanism UNKNOWN May be related to the initial B configurations

104 What Changes the Opacity Lorentz factor are smaller in early times?

105 What are the possibilities for GeV Onset Delay? Up-scanter cocoon (Kenji Toma,2010) Hardronic (pγ, pp, etc) process, Razzaque et al 2008,2010) External Forward Shock Change of particle acceleration Mechanism Change of Opacity

106 Constrains from Observed kev-gev Band Function NO photosphere thermal component most energy carried in B filed, not in photons, photosphere emission is suppressed NO second SSC bump Compton parameter Y<<1 (because B energy density >> photon energy density, Y=U_ph/U_B<<1), so SSC is suppressed (L_ssc~YL_syn) NO pair-production cutoff Poynting flux : larger emission radius reduce 2-photon annihilation opacity and increase the pair cutoff energy

107 How to choose spectral models? The following spectral functions are considered : PL, CPL, BB, Band (1) If a one-component model can adequately describe the data (giving reasonable reduced 2, say, between 0.75 and 1.5), two-component models are not considered; (2) for onecomponent models, if a function with less free parameters can describe the data adequately, it is favored over the models with more parameters. (3) In addition, the Akaike s Information Criterion2 (AIC, Akaike 1974) is calculated to evaluate each model by considering both the fitting goodness and the complexity of the model.
