On the GeV emission of the type I BdHN GRB 130427A

Published 2 Dec 2018 in astro-ph.HE | (1812.00354v8)

Abstract: We propose that the "inner engine" of a type I binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) is composed of a Kerr black hole (BH) in a non-stationary state, embedded in a uniform magnetic field B0B_0 aligned with the BH rotation axis, and surrounded by an ionized plasma of extremely low density of 10<sup>−1410<sup>{-14}~g~cm<sup>−3<sup>{-3}. Using GRB 130427A as a prototype we show that this "inner engine" acts in a sequence of "elementary impulses". Electrons are accelerated to ultra-relativistic energy near the BH horizon and, propagating along the polar axis, θ=0\theta =0, they can reach energies of ∼10<sup>18\sim 10<sup>{18} eV, and partially contribute to ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). When propagating with θ≠0{\theta \neq 0} through the magnetic field B0B_0 they give origin by synchrotron emission to GeV and TeV radiation. The mass of BH, M=2.3M⊙M=2.3 M_\odot, its spin, α=0.47\alpha = 0.47, and the value of magnetic field B0=3.48×10<sup>10B_0= 3.48 \times 10<sup>{10} G, are determined self-consistently in order to fulfill the energetic and the transparency requirement. The repetition time of each elementary impulse of energy E∼10<sup>37{\cal E} \sim 10<sup>{37} erg, is ∼10<sup>−14\sim 10<sup>{-14} s at the beginning of the process, then slowly increasing with time evolution. In principle, this "\textit{inner engine}" can operate in a GRB for thousands of years. By scaling the BH mass and the magnetic field the same "inner engine" can describe active galactic nuclei (AGN).
