Positronium Fraction
Annihilation of e+ in the gas after thermalisation
•direct annihilation e+ e- : 2(511keV)• formation of Positronium (para)
• 1/4 of the Ps (s=0)• annihilation via 2(511keV line)
• formation of Ps (s=1)• 3/4 of the Ps (triplet)• annihilation via 3(0 - 511 keV)
CGRO/OSSE Kinzer et al, ApJ 559 (2001)• thin line 3 keV

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF POSITRONS?
FLUX & MORPHOLOGY (summary)
M.Cassé@iap.fr 11
GAS DENSITY(rough estimate)
Gaz density (through dE/dx) determines behaviour of positrons in the GB together with Diffusion coefficient D, both poorly known
No clear observation of HI, H2(foreground disk), except in the CMZ
Bulge = elliptical galaxy in a spiral (see models by Wyse &Silk )
Age of stars ~ 10 Gyr, Metallicity ~ solarIMF dN/dm =k Ma (Gould 2000)
(a =-2.0 for M>0.7Mo, a= -1.3 for M<0.7Mo)
1Mo<M<8Mo stars WD: 22%
Each WD ejects (PN phase) ~ 0.5 Mo Mg ~109 MoBulge Radius ~ 2 kpc
Gas Density ~ 1 cm-3 (upper limit)Accretion by stars? Sinking in CMZ new stars
Necessity dedicated calculations

ACTIVE OBJECTS WITH A BLACK HOLE OR A NEUTRON STAR INSIDE
•Microquasars: to few, not powerful enough•LMXRB (Prantzos 2004) No 511 keV emission detected •HN/GRB (Schanne et al 2204,Parizot et al 2005):
Central SourcePb of diffusion des positons: D~3 1027cm2s-1
Rate of HN/GRB? Disk emission
NO GOOD CANDIDATE+ RADIOACTIVITY by order of importance
22Na Novae very small amounts 26Al SN et WR (1809 keV emission) not sufficient 44Ti SN: smaller contribution than 26Al 56Ni SN II MNi=0.1 M Thick envelope (10Mo)
positrons released~ 0%
SN Ia MNi= 0.6 M Thinner envelope (1 Mo) positrons released ?
Potential sources of e+

TYPICAL PARAMETERS OF SNIa: M=1.34 Mo ejected mass E=1.17×1051 erg Kinetic energy (E=1/2 M v2) MNi = 0.6 Mo mass of 56Ni synthesized
ENERGY SOURCE :
56Ni 56Co (t1/2=6.1 j) 56Fe (t1/2=77j) + e+
•Simple Model of explosion (spherical symmetry ) - free homologous expansion : R = v t - radioactive nuclei (56Ni) deeply buried- production of positrons: 56Co 56Fe + e+ (19%)
- absorption: R = = mean free path ~ 0.6 g cm-2
-Escape time: M E-1/2 • t~390 d consistent with inflexion of L.C..• 3.3% of 56Co remaining
Number of positrons released Ne+ = 8×1052

HYPERNOVA SN2003dh
SNIA: PUREMELY RADIOACTIVE OBJECTS
L.C. fed by gammas & positrons
56Ni 56Co (t1/2=6.1 j) 56Fe (t1/2=77j) + e+
E=847 keV, <Ee+>= 640 keV (19%), Emax=1.4 MeV
Envelope dense & opaque to & e+ ,then progressive leak out
Light curve of SN2003dh declines faster than typical SNIa faster ejection (earlier transparency) faster escape of and e+
larger number of released positrons
25 times more than in SNIa
~ 0.02/century required
BUT: Rate? Diffusion of positrons? Disk/Bulge ratio?
