Collision less entrainment of the surrounding matter imports the relativistic baryon component in the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) fireball frame. We show that half the fireball energy can be transferred from radiation to the comoving hot motions of baryons under the photosphere. The yet baryon-poor fireball can reexpand to a very high Lorentz factor (VHLF) Gamma similar to 10(3)-10(6) by its own relativistic collisionless pressure beyond the photosphere (so-called collisionless bulk acceleration), leading to internal and external shocks. A simple synchrotron emission from the VHLF internal shocks produces (i) the extra power-law spectral component with variability observed in the Fermi GeV bursts, up to the TeV range for the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), (ii) the GeV onset delay with a weak luminosity dependence t(delay) similar to L-1/5, and (iii) the spectral break of GRB 090926 by the synchrotron cooling break or the maximum synchrotron cutoff limited by the dynamical time, not by the e creation cutoff. The relativistic baryon component could also heat the photospheric thermal photons into the main GRB Band spectrum via pp, p gamma (Bethe-Heitler and photomeson), and Coulomb thermalization processes. In this hot photosphere-internal-external shock model, we can predict the anticorrelation of similar to TeV neutrinos and GeV gamma-rays, which may be detectable using Ice Cube. The spectral peak and luminosity (Yonetoku) relation is also reproduced if the progenitor stars are nearly identical. We also discuss the steep/shallow decay of early X-ray afterglows and short GRBs.

Jet propagation in expanding medium for gamma-ray bursts

Hamid Hamidani, Kunihito Ioka

Summary: Research on the propagation of short gamma-ray burst jets produced in binary neutron star mergers shows that they differ from those in collapsars by traveling through the expanding ambient medium of merger ejecta. The models presented have been tested in numerical simulations and are consistent in various aspects, providing useful estimates for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves.

Statistical modelling of the cosmological dispersion measure

Ryuichi Takahashi, Kunihito Ioka, Asuka Mori, Koki Funahashi

Summary: Through hydrodynamic simulations, the statistical properties of cosmological dispersion measure were studied, with analytical fitting functions provided for the free-electron power spectrum. By analyzing mock sky maps and source redshift distributions, the cosmological features of fast radio bursts were explored, expecting confirmation in future observations when more FRBs are available.

Neutron conversion-diffusion: a new model for structured short gamma-ray burst jets compatible with GRB 170817

Edwan Preau, Kunihito Ioka, Peter Meszaros

Summary: The theoretical model proposed in the study describes the structuring of a relativistic jet propagating through the ejecta of a binary neutron star merger event, taking into account the effects of neutron conversion-diffusion. This results in an increased baryon load structure of the outer jet with an energy distribution proportional to the off-axis angle.

Fallback Accretion Model for the Years-to-decades X-Ray Counterpart to GW170817

Wataru Ishizaki, Kunihito Ioka, Kenta Kiuchi

Summary: The X-ray counterpart to the binary neutron star merger and gravitational-wave event GW170817 shows evidence of a fallback accretion process, providing insights into the afterglow emission from the kilonova/macronova ejecta. Future observations are needed to further investigate this model.

Fallback Accretion Halted by R-process Heating in Neutron Star Mergers and Gamma-Ray Bursts

Wataru Ishizaki, Kenta Kiuchi, Kunihito Ioka, Shinya Wanajo

Summary: By studying the fallback accretion with r-process heating, this research shows that the usual fallback rate is halted by the heating due to pressure gradients accelerating ejecta beyond the escape velocity. The characteristic halting timescale is around 10(4)-10(8) seconds for r-process heating like GW170817, and future observations of fallback halting could constrain the r-process heating on the scale of a year.

Binary Comb Models for FRB 121102

Tomoki Wada, Kunihito Ioka, Bing Zhang

Summary: The study suggests that FRB 121102 can be interpreted as an interacting neutron star binary system with an orbital period of around 159 days. By introducing eccentricity into the orbit, new modes of the binary comb model are identified and applied to interpret the source. These models expand the applicable parameter space, allowing for different companion stars like massive stars, black holes, or supermassive black holes.

Probing cosmology and gastrophysics with fast radio bursts: cross-correlations of dark matter haloes and cosmic dispersion measures

Masato Shirasaki, Ryuichi Takahashi, Ken Osato, Kunihito Ioka

Summary: By cross-correlating the foreground dark matter haloes with their known redshifts, valuable cosmological information for future surveys of fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be obtained. This has significant implications for FRB cosmology and calls for further research.

Probing particle acceleration at trans-relativistic shocks with off-axis gamma-ray burst afterglows

Kazuya Takahashi, Kunihito Ioka, Yutaka Ohira, Hendrik J. van Eerten

Summary: This study reveals the relationship between electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves by observing the changes in spectral slope during particle acceleration in both relativistic and non-relativistic scenarios. The relativistic spectral slope shows a steep change near the peak time of the light curve and approaches the non-relativistic limit after about 10 times the peak time.

Cocoon breakout and escape from the ejecta of neutron star mergers

Hamid Hamidani, Kunihito Ioka

Summary: The cocoon formed by a jet in ambient matter is an important factor in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). This study focuses on the differences between short GRBs (sGRBs) and collapsars, with sGRBs being produced from the merger of neutron stars. Using simulations, the researchers find that the expansion of the ambient matter influences the cocoon mass, with only a small fraction escaping in sGRBs compared to collapsars. The analysis suggests that the observed cooling emission is unlikely to be from the sGRB-jet heated cocoon associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817.

Expanding fireball in magnetar bursts and fast radio bursts

Tomoki Wada, Kunihito Ioka

Summary: A radiation plasma fireball near the surface of a neutron star expands and produces photon emission and relativistic matter outflow along magnetic field lines. We classify the evolution of the expanding fireball into five cases, taking into account key processes such as lateral diffusion of photons, effects of strong magnetic field, baryon loading, and radiative acceleration. Applying this model to magnetar bursts with FRBs, we show that the burst radiation can accelerate the outflow to high-Lorentz factor with sufficient energy to power FRBs.

External Inverse-compton and Proton Synchrotron Emission from the Reverse Shock as the Origin of VHE Gamma Rays from the Hyper-bright GRB 221009A

B. Theodore Zhang, Kohta Murase, Kunihito Ioka, Deheng Song, Chengchao Yuan, Peter Meszaros

Summary: The detection of hyper-bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A allows us to investigate the nature of GRB emission and the origin of very high-energy gamma rays. Using Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) data, we analyze the GeV-TeV emission of this burst within the framework of the external reverse-shock model. Our findings suggest that the early emission in the 1-10 GeV range can be explained by the external inverse-Compton mechanism, in addition to the synchrotron self-Compton component. We also propose that the proton synchrotron emission from accelerated ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is detectable and may explain TeV photons detected by LHAASO or constrain the UHECR acceleration mechanism.

Cocoon cooling emission in neutron star mergers

Hamid Hamidani, Kunihito Ioka

Summary: In the GW170817 gravitational wave event, a 10-hour gap without detection of the cocoon was observed before electromagnetic observations. The cocoon is formed by a short gamma-ray burst jet passing through the ejecta of a neutron star merger. Our simulations and calculations show that the cocoon emits strong UV radiation, outshining the r-process kilonova/macronova at early times. The relativistic velocity of the cocoon can be measured, and energetic cocoons may be detected as X-ray flashes.
