Energy Deposition Rate

I have developed two-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code. I have performed numerical simulations of collapsars using these codes and realistic progenitor models. In the GRMHD simulation, it is shown that a jet is launched from the center of the progenitor. We also performed two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations in the context of collapsar model to investigate the explosive nucleosynthesis happened there. It is found that the amount of 56 Ni is very sensitive to the energy deposition rate. This result means that the amount of synthesized 56 Ni can be little even if the total explosion energy is as large as 1052 erg. Thus, some GRBs can associate with faint supernovae. Thus we consider it is quite natural to detect no underlying supernova in some X-ray afterglows.

Carbon/Phenolic (C/P), a typical anisotropic material, is an important component of aerospace and often used to protect the thermodynamic effects of strong X-ray radiation. In this paper, we establish the anisotropic elastic-plastic constitutive model, which is embedded in the in-house code “RAMA” to simulate a two-dimensional thermal shock wave induced by X-ray. Then, we compare the numerical simulation results with the thermal shock wave stress generated by the same strong current electron beam via experiment to verify the correctness of the numerical simulation. Subsequently, we discuss and analyze the rules of thermal shock wave propagation in C/P material by further numerical simulation. The results reveal that the thermal shock wave represents different shapes and mechanisms by the radiation of 1 keV and 3 keV X-rays. The vaporization recoil phenomenon appears as a compression wave under 1 keV X-ray irradiation, and X-ray penetration is caused by thermal deformation under 3 keV X-ray irradiation. The thermal shock wave propagation exhibits two-dimensional characteristics, the energy deposition of 1 keV and 3 keV both decays exponentially, the energy deposition of 1 keV-peak soft X-ray is high, and the deposition depth is shallow, while the energy deposition of 3 keV-peak hard X-ray is low, and the deposition depth is deep. RAMA can successfully realize two-dimensional orthotropic elastoplastic constitutive relation, the corresponding program was designed and checked, and the calculation results for inspection are consistent with the theory. This study has great significance in the evaluation of anisotropic material protection under the radiation of intense X-rays.

In order to study the effects of liner materials on the formation of Shaped Charges with Double Layer Liners (SCDLL) into tandem Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP), the formation mechanism of DLSCL was studied. Utilizing two-dimensional finite element dynamic code AUTODYN, the numerical simulations on the mechanical phenomenon of SCDLL forming into tandem EFP were carried out. X-ray pictures were obtained after Experiments on SCDLL. Comparisons between experimental results and numerical simulation results have good agreement. It can be concluded from the results that the materials properties and configurations of both liners are crucial to the formation of tandem EFP.

AbstractThe connection between the long GRBs and Type Ic Supernovae (SNe) has revealed the interesting diversity: (i) GRB-SNe, (ii) Non-GRB Hypernovae (HNe), (iii) X-Ray Flash (XRF)-SNe, and (iv) Non-SN GRBs (or dark HNe). We show that nucleosynthetic properties found in the above diversity are connected to the variation of the abundance patterns of extremely-metal-poor (EMP) stars, such as the excess of C, Co, Zn relative to Fe. We explain such a connection in a unified manner as nucleosynthesis of hyper-aspherical (jet-induced) explosions of Pop III core-collapse SNe. We show that (1) the explosions with large energy deposition rate, Ėdep, are observed as GRB-HNe and their yields can explain the abundances of normal EMP stars, and (2) the explosions with small Ėdepare observed as GRBs without bright SNe and can be responsible for the formation of the C-rich EMP (CEMP) and the hyper metal-poor (HMP) stars. We thus propose that GRB-HNe and the Non-SN GRBs (dark HNe) belong to a continuous series of BH-forming massive stellar deaths with the relativistic jets of different Ėdep.

Abstract. From simultaneous observations of the European incoherent scatter Svalbard radar (ESR) and the Cooperative UK Twin Located Auroral Sounding System (CUTLASS) Finland radar on 9 March 1999, we have derived the height distributions of the thermospheric heating rate at the F region height in association with electromagnetic energy inputs into the dayside polar cap/cusp region. The ESR and CUTLASS radar observations provide the ionospheric parameters with fine time-resolutions of a few minutes. Although the geomagnetic activity was rather moderate (Kp=3+~4), the electric field obtained from the ESR data sometimes shows values exceeding 40 mV/m. The estimated passive energy deposition rates are also larger than 150 W/kg in the upper thermosphere over the ESR site during the period of the enhanced electric field. In addition, enhancements of the Pedersen conductivity also contribute to heating the upper thermosphere, while there is only a small contribution for thermospheric heating from the direct particle heating due to soft particle precipitation in the dayside polar cap/cusp region. In the same period, the CUTLASS observations of the ion drift show the signature of poleward moving pulsed ionospheric flows with a recurrence rate of about 10–20 min. The estimated electromagnetic energy deposition rate shows the existence of the strong heat source in the dayside polar cap/cusp region of the upper thermosphere in association with the dayside magnetospheric phenomena of reconnections and flux transfer events.
