The multimessenger picture of compact object encounters: binary mergers versus dynamical collisions.
ROSSWOG S., PIRAN T. and NAKAR E.
Abstract (from CDS):
We find that dynamical collisions are at least as promising as binary mergers for producing (short) gamma-ray bursts, but they also share the same possible caveats in terms of baryonic pollution. All encounter remnants produce peak neutrino luminosities of at least ∼ 1053 erg s-1, some of the collision cases exceed this value by more than an order of magnitude. The canonical ns2 merger case ejects more than 1percent of a solar mass of extremely neutron-rich (Ye ∼ 0.03) material, an amount that is consistent with double neutron star mergers being a major source of r-process in the galaxy. nsbh collisions eject very large amounts of matter ( ∼ 0.15 M☉) which seriously constrains their admissible occurrence rates. The compact object collision rate (sum of ns2 and nsbh) must therefore be less, likely much less, than 10percent of the ns2 merger rate. The radioactively decaying ejecta produce optical-ultraviolet `macronova' which, for the canonical merger case, peak after ∼ 0.4 d with a luminosity of ∼ 5x1041 erg s-1. ns2 (nsbh) collisions reach up to two (four) times larger peak luminosities. The dynamic ejecta deposit a kinetic energy comparable to a supernova in the ambient medium. The canonical merger case releases approximately 2 x 1050 erg, the most extreme (but likely rare) cases deposit kinetic energies of up to 1052 erg. The deceleration of this mildly relativistic material by the ambient medium produces long lasting radio flares. A canonical ns2 merger at the detection horizon of advanced LIGO/Virgo produces a radio flare that peaks on a time-scale of 1 yr with a flux of ∼ 0.1mJy at 1.4GHz. Collisions eject more material at higher velocities and therefore produce brighter and longer lasting flares.
