Two Predictions of supernova: GRB 130427A / SN 2013cq and GRB 180728A / SN 2018fip
Abstract: On 2018 July 28, GRB 180728A triggered \textit{Swift} satellites and, soon after the determination of the redshift, we identified this source as a type II binary-driven hypernova (BdHN II) in our model. Consequently, we predicted the appearance time of its associated supernova (SN), which was later confirmed as SN 2018fip. A BdHN II originates in a binary composed of a carbon-oxygen core (CO) undergoing SN, and the SN ejecta hypercritically accrete onto a companion neutron star (NS). From the time of the SN shock breakout to the time when the hypercritical accretion starts, we infer the binary separation cm. The accretion explains the prompt emission of isotropic energy erg, lasting s, and the accompanying observed blackbody emission from a thermal convective instability bubble. The new neutron star (NS) originating from the SN powers the late afterglow from which a NS initial spin of $2.5$ ms is inferred. We compare GRB 180728A with GRB 130427A, a type I binary-driven hypernova (BdHN I) with isotropic energy $> 10<sup>{54}$ erg. For GRB 130427A we have inferred an initially closer binary separation of cm, implying a higher accretion rate leading to the collapse of the NS companion with consequent black hole formation, and a faster, $1$ ms spinning NS. In both cases, the optical spectra of the SNe are similar, and not correlated to the energy of the gamma-ray burst. We present three-dimensional smoothed-particle-hydrodynamic simulations and visualisations of the BdHNe I and II.
