三个基本问题困扰着γ射线暴模型:能量来源;高能光子逃离辐射区域的能力;以及x射线发射的相对弱点。γ射线发射等离子体的相对论体运动是解决这三个问题的自然方法。它的作用可以用三个参数来概括:α,高能光子数谱的幂律指数;γ,体积流的洛伦兹因子;δ = 1/[γ(1-βμ *)],其中μ *是我们的视角相对于气流方向的余弦。
Three fundamental problems beset models of γ-ray bursts : the energy source ; the ability of high-energy photons to escape the radiation region ; and the comparative weakness of X-ray emission. Relativistic bulk motion of the γ-ray-emitting plasma is a natural solution to all three problems. Its effect can be concisely summarized in terms of three parameters : α, the power-law index of the high-energy photon number spectrum ; γ, the Lorentz factor of the bulk flow ; and δ = 1/[γ(1-βμ * )], where μ * is the cosine of our viewing angle with respect to the direction of the flow.
