Three Dimensional Simulation of Gamma Ray Emission from Asymmetric Supernovae and Hypernovae

Abstract

Hard X- and $\gamma$-ray spectra and light curves resulting from radioactive decays are computed for aspherical (jet-like) and energetic supernova models (representing a prototypical hypernova SN 1998bw), using a 3D energy- and time-dependent Monte Carlo scheme. The emission is characterized by (1) early emergence of high energy emission, (2) large line-to-continuum ratio, and (3) large cut-off energy by photoelectric absorptions in hard X-ray energies. These three properties are not sensitively dependent on the observer's direction. On the other hand, fluxes and line profiles depend sensitively on the observer's direction, showing larger luminosity and larger degree of blueshift for an observer closer to the polar ($z$) direction. Strategies to derive the degree of asphericity and the observer's direction from (future) observations are suggested on the basis of these features, and an estimate on detectability of the high energy emission by the {\it INTEGRAL} and future observatories is presented. Also presented is examination on applicability of a gray effective $\gamma$-ray opacity for computing the energy deposition rate in the aspherical SN ejecta. The 3D detailed computations show that the effective $\gamma$-ray opacity ${\kappa }_{\gamma }\sim 0.025-0.027$ cm${}^2$ g${}^{-1}$ reproduces the detailed energy-dependent transport for both spherical and aspherical (jet-like) geometry.
