The Collapsar Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts S. E. Woosley (UCSC) Weiqun Zhang (UCSC) Alex Heger (Univ. Chicago) Andrew MacFadyen (Cal Tech) Harvard CfA Meeting on GRBs, May 21, 2002

Requirements on the Central Engine and its Immediate Surroundings (long-soft bursts) Provide adequate energy at high Lorentz factor (  > 200; KE ~ 5 x erg) Collimate the emergent beam to approximately 0.1 radians Make bursts in star forming regions In the internal shock model, provide a beam with rapidly variable Lorentz factor Allow for the observed diversity seen in GRB light curves Last approximately 20 s, but much longer in some cases Explain diverse events like GRB Produce a (Type Ib/c) supernova in some cases Make x-ray lines

Collapsars Type Mass/sun BH Time Scale Distance Comment I He prompt 20 s all z neutrino-dominated disk II He delayed 20 s – 1 hr all z black hole by fall back III >130 He prompt ~20 s z>10? time dilated, redshifted *(1+z) very energetic, pair instability, low Z A rotating massive star whose core collapses to a black hole and produces an accretion disk. Type I is what we are usually talking about. The 40 solar mass limit comes from assuming that all stars above 100 solar masses on the main sequence are unstable (except Pop III).

Collapsar Progenitors Two requirements: Core collapse produces a black hole - either promptly or very shortly thereafter. Sufficient angular momentum exists to form a disk outside the black hole (this virtually guarantees that the hole is a Kerr hole) Fryer, ApJ, 522, 413, (1999)

With decreasing metallicity, the binding energy of the core and the size of the silicon core both increase, making black hole formation more likely at low metallicity. Woosley, Heger, & Weaver, RMP, (2002) Black hole formation may be unavoidable for low metallicity Solar metallicity Low metallicity

In the absence of mass loss and magnetic fields, there would be abundant progenitors. Unfortunately nature has both. 15 solar mass helium core born rotating rigidly at f times break up The more difficult problem is the angular momentum. This is a problem shared by all current GRB models that invoke massive stars...

. Heger and Woosley (2002) using prescription for magnetic torques from Spruit (2001) followed here

Some implications.... T he production of GRBs may be favored in metal- deficient regions, either at high red shift or in small galaxies (like the SMC). The metallicity- dependence of mass loss rates for RSGs is an important source of uncertainty. (Kudritzsky (2000); Vink, de Koters, & Lamers A&A, 369, 574, (2001)) But below some metallicity Z about, 0.1, single massive stars will not make GRBs because they do not lose their hydrogen envelope. GRBs may therefore not track the total star formation rate, but of some special set of stars with an appreciable evolutionary correction.

Progenitor Winds Massive Wolf-Rayet stars – during helium burning - are known to have large mass loss rates, approximately solar masses/yr or more. This wind may be clumpy and anisotropic and its metallicity dependence is uncertain. The density dependence of matter around a single star in vacuum could be approximately 1000 (10 16 cm/R) 2 cm -3 composed of carbon, oxygen, and helium, BUT During approximately the last ~100 – 1000 years of its life, the star burns carbon (mainly) and heavier fuels. The mass loss rate of the star during these stages is unknown. No WR star has ever knowingly been observed in such a state. This means that the mass distribution inside ~ cm is unknown (100 yrs at 1000 km/s).

Given the necessary angular momentum, black hole formation is accompanied by disk formation...

The Star Collapses (log j > 16.5) alpha = 0.1alpha = MacFadyen & Woosley ApJ, 524, 262, (1999) 7.6 s 7.5 s Neutrino flux high Neutrino flux low

I n the vicinity of the rotational axis of the black hole, by a variety of possible processes, energy is deposited. It is good to have an energy deposition mechanism that proceeds independently of the density and gives the jet some initial momentum along the axis 7.6 s after core collapse; high viscosity case.

a=0.5 a=0 Optimistic nu-deposition Neutrino annihilation energy deposition rate (erg cm –3 s -1 ) MacFadyen & Woosley (1999) Given the rather modest energy needs of current central engines (3 x erg?) the neutrino-powered model is still quite viable and has the advantage of being calculable. A definitive calculation of the neutrino transport coupled to a realistic multi- dimensional hydrodynamical model is still lacking. Fryer (1998) The Neutrino-Powered Model (Type I Collapsar Only)

MHD Energy Extraction Blandford & Znajek (1977) Koide et al. (2001) etc. The efficiencies for converting accreted matter to energy need not be large. B ~ – gauss for a 3 solar mass black hole. Well below equipartition in the disk.

Jet Initiation - 1 The jet is initially collimated by the density gradient left by the accretion. It will not start until the ram pressure has declined below a critical value.

MacFadyen, Woosley, & Heger, ApJ, 550, 410, (2001) High disk viscosity (7.6 s s) Low disk viscosity (9.4 s s) (Energy deposition of 1.8 x erg/s commenced for 0.6 s; opening angle 10 degrees) log rho = Jet Initiation -2

The Production of 56 Ni Needed to power the light curve of the supernova if one is to be visible. Need 0.1 to 0.5 solar masses of it. A bigger problem than most realize The jet doesn’t do it – too little mass Forming the black hole depletes the innermost core of heavy elements Pulsars may have a hard time too if their time scale is > 1 sec In the collapsar model the 56 Ni is made by a wind off of the accretion disk. It’s abundance is related to how much mass accretes into the hole

The disk wind: MacFadyen & Woosley (2001) Neglecting electron capture in the disk

The Jet-Star Interaction

Relativistic Jet Propagation Through the Star Zhang, Woosley, & MacFadyen (2002) Initiate a jet of specified Lorentz factor (here 50), energy flux (here erg/s), and internal energy (here internal E is about equal to kinetic energy), at a given radius (2000 km) in a given post-collapse (7 s) phase of 15 solar mass helium core evolved without mass loss assuming an initial rotation rate of 10% Keplerian. The stars radius is 8 x cm. The initial opening angle of the jet is 20 degrees. 480 radial zones 120 angular zones 0 to 30 degrees 80 angular zones 30 to 90 degrees 15’ near axis Zoom out by 10

Pressure in the same model The pressure in the jet is greater than in the star through which it propagates.

The jet can be divided into three regions: 1) the unshocked jet, 2) the shocked jet, and 3) the jet head. For some time, perhaps the duration of the burst, the jet that emerges has been shocked and has most of its energy in the form of internal energy. Information regarding the central engine is lost. Zhang, Woosley, & MacFadyen ApJ, to be submitted jet head at 4.0 s

Initial opening angle 20 degrees; erg/s Initial opening angle 5 degrees; erg/s Independent of initial opening angle, the emergent beam is collimated into a narrow beam with opening less than 5 degrees (see also Aloy et al. 2000)

The previous calculation was 2D in spherical coordinates. This puts all the resolution near the origin and also spends a lot of zones following the unshocked star. Repeat using cylindrical coordinates and study the just the jet’s interactions with finer zoning – but keeping the same density and temperature structure as in the star along its rotational axis. Carry 80,000 km = 10% of the star.

Lorentz factor Density

Density structure at 2.2 seconds; inner 80,000 km (star radius is 800,000 km).

Pressure at 2.2 seconds

Lessons Learned Even a jet of constant power is strongly modulated by its passage through the star. The variations in Lorentz factor and density can be of order unity. An initially collimated jet stays collimated. There may be important implications for the light curve – especially its time structure.

The Jet Explodes the Star Continue the spherical calculation for a long time, at least several hundred seconds. See how the star explodes, the geometry of the supernova, and what is left behind.

Density and radial velocity at 80 s (big picture)

Zoom in by 5... The shock has wrapped around and most of the star is exploding. Outer layers and material along the axis moves very fast. Most of the rest has more typical supernova like speeds ~ 3000 – 10,000 km s seconds

t = 80 seconds Shown on a magnified scale, there is still a lot of dense low velocity material near the black hole (Zoom in *100)

at 240 seconds The shock has wrapped around and the whole star is exploding (initial radius was less than one tick mark here). A lot of matter in the equatorial plane has not achieved escape velocity though and will fall back. Continuing polar outflow opens a channel along the rotational axis. radial velocity/c

By this time the star has expanded to over ten times its initial radius the expansion has become (very approximately) homologous. Provided outflow continues along the axis as assumed, an observer along the axis (i.e., one who saw a GRB) will look deeper into the explosion and perhaps see a bluer supernova with broader lines (e.g., SN2001ke; Garnavich et al. 2002). Continued accretion is occurring in the equatorial plane. 240 seconds Caution: Effect of disk wind not included here

Spreading of jets after they exit the star

10 seconds 35 seconds Zhang, Woosley, and MacFadyen (2002)

The jet properties are shown 35 seconds after its initiation. Lines give properties at 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 x cm. At 15 degrees in Model W1, the equivalent isotropic energy flux is about erg s -1 (solid line).

Some Conclusions: The light curves of (long-soft) GRBs may reflect more the interaction of the jet with the star than the time variability of the engine itself. The emergent jet in the collapsar model may still contain a large fraction of its energy as internal energy. Expansion after break out of material with Lorentz factor of order 10 can still give final Lorentz factors over 100. Much weaker bursts are expected off axis (GRB ?, x-ray flashes?) Jet powered supernovae may have significant equatorial fall back. Jet may continue with a declining power for a long time Circum-burst mass distribution highly uncertain 56 Ni synthesis given by disk wind. May be related to total mass accreted.
