THE EFFECTIVE TWO MESON EXCHANGE POTENTIAL DERIVED FROM THE QUARK - ANTI-QUARK PAIR CREATION MODEL. (IN CHINESE)

title: Hyperon-Meson Vertices and Hyperon-Nucleon Interactions on Quark Model
abstract: In this paper, we introduce two parts of work: the hyperon-meson vertex structure from the one-gluon-exchange quark-antiquark pair creation model and the hyperon-nucleon interactions on a modified quark potential model. For both parts some significant results have been obtained.

title: Multi-strange hadronic systems in a chiral SU(3) quark mean field model
abstract: We apply the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model to investigate the finite nuclei. We find that the combined confining potential chi(c)(C) is more proper to describe finite nuclei compared with the scalar and scalar-vector potentials. The hypernuclei and multi-strange objects which include A and Xi are discussed in this model. The maximum binding energy for such kind of multi-strange objects is about 16-17 MeV and the corresponding strangeness fraction f(s) is around 1.2-1.3.

title: BARYON–BARYON INTERACTION IN THE EXTENDED CHIRAL SU(3) QUARK MODEL
abstract: The hyperon-nucleon scattering processes and some dibaryon states are studied both in the chiral SU(3) quark model and in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method (RGM) equation. We find that the short-range interaction could be described either by the one-gluon exchange or by the vector meson exchange for baryon-baryon system.

title: Color screening effect in the quark potential model
abstract: By using the color confinement potential which includes the color screening effect, we studied the baryon spectra and the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The results show that the color screening effect not only improves the baryon spectrum calculation, but also can solve the long-tail problem of the color Van der Waals force. A part of the medium attraction of the nuclear force can be obtained from the color Van der Waals force.

title: X-RAY AND HIGH-ENERGY FLARES FROM LATE INTERNAL SHOCKS OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS
abstract: We study afterglow flares of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the framework of the late internal shock (LIS) model based on a careful description for the dynamics of a pair of shocks generated by a collision between two homogeneous shells. First, by confronting the model with some fundamental observational features of X-ray flares, we find some constraints on the properties of the pre-collision shells that are directly determined by the central engine of GRBs. Second, high-energy emission associated with X-ray flares, which arises from synchrotron self-Compton emission of LISs, is investigated in a wide parameter space. The predicted flux of high-energy flares may reach as high as ~10–8 erg cm–2 s–1, which is likely to be detectable with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Space Telescope (formerly GLAST).

title: A past capture event at Sagittarius A* inferred from the fluorescent X-ray emission of Sagittarius B clouds
abstract: The fluorescent X-ray emission from neutral iron in the molecular clouds [Sagittarius (Sgr) B] indicates that the clouds are being irradiated by an external X-ray source. The source is probably associated with the Galactic central black hole (Sgr A*), which triggered a bright outburst 100 yr ago. We suggest that such an outburst could be due to a partial capture of a star by Sgr A*, during which a jet was generated. Using constraints from the observed flux and the time variability (∼10 yr) of the Sgr B fluorescent emission, we find that the shock produced by the interaction of the jet with the dense interstellar medium represents a plausible candidate for the X-ray source emission.

title: BRIGHT "MERGER-NOVA" FROM THE REMNANT OF A NEUTRON STAR BINARY MERGER: A SIGNATURE OF A NEWLY BORN, MASSIVE, MILLISECOND MAGNETAR
abstract: A massive millisecond magnetar may survive the merger of a neutron star (NS) binary, which would continuously power the merger ejecta. We develop a generic dynamic model for the merger ejecta with energy injection from the central magnetar. The ejecta emission (the “merger-nova”) powered by the magnetar peaks in the UV band and the peak of the light curve progressively shifts to an earlier epoch with increasing frequency. A magnetar-powered mergernova could have an optical peak brightness comparable to a supernova, which is a few tens or hundreds times brighter than the radioactive-powered merger-novae (the so-called macro-nova or kilo-nova). On the other hand, such a merger-nova would peak earlier and have a significantly shorter duration than that of a supernova. An early collapse of the magnetar could suppress the brightness of the optical emission and shorten its duration. Such millisecond-magnetar-powered merger-novae may be detected from NS-NS merger events without an observed short gamma-ray burst, and could be a bright electromagnetic counterpart for gravitational wave bursts due to NS-NS mergers. If detected, it suggests that the merger leaves behind a massive NS, which has important implications for the equation-of-state of nuclear matter.

title: Effect of a strong magnetic field on the surface electric field of strange stars
abstract: We made a detailed study of the properties of the electron layer near the quark surface of strange stars with strong (${\sim}10^{14}{-}10^{17}$ G) magnetic fields. The electrostatic potential and the electric field at the quark surface were calculated as functions of the magnetic field intensity of bare strange stars. Using an ultrastrong ($B\geq 2.5\times10^{16}$ G) magnetic field, we found that the distribution of electrons becomes an exponential function of radial distance, which is quite different in a magnetic field-free case. We also calculated the variation in gap width between the strange core and the normal nuclear crust for strange stars, which is due to magnetic field effect.

title: The luminosity function of Swift long gamma-ray bursts
abstract: The formation rate of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) could follow the cosmic star formation rate (SFR) incorporating with cosmic metallicity evolution. Therefore, the luminosity function (LF) of GRBs can in principle be explored by modeling the redshift-luminosity distributions of Swift observed GRBs. For an assumed LF form as �z(L) / e −L p/L (L=Lp) −� (1 + z) � , we found that (1) the approximate broken-power law distribution of the luminosities of the Swift observed GRBs is probably caused by the luminosity selection of the telescope by reducing the number of the GRBs with low luminosities, (2) the evolution of the LF could approach to be very weak, i.e., � � 0, if the GRB environments are metal-poor as Z < (0:1 0:3)Z� , and (3) the slope of the LF can be derived to be within � � (1:55 1:72) by fitting the redshift distribution of the GRBs and qualitatively explaining the luminosity distribution. Finally, we also suggest an empirical detection efficiency as a function of flux for the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) in order to model the logN logP distribution of the GRBs.
