The shock wave is established in a hydrogen oxygen combustion driven shock tube. Time- resolved spectra of the Av = 0 sequence of the B^2∑^＋ → X^2∑^＋ electronic transition of CN have been observed through optical emission spectroscopy （OES）.

Even though in this radiation hydrodynamics model, the radiative effects can be understood as source terms to the isentropic Euler equations of hydrodynamics, in general the radiation field has singularities propagated in an angular domain issuing from the initial point across which the density is discontinuous. This is the major difficulty in the stability analysis of shocks. Under certain assumptions on the radiation parameters, we show there exists a local weak solution to the initial value problem of the one dimensional Euler-Boltzmann equations, in which the radiation intensity is continuous, while the density and velocity are piecewise Lipschitz continuous with a strong discontinuity representing the shock-front. The existence of such a solution indicates that shock waves are structurally stable, at least local in time, in radiation hydrodynamics.展开更多

The low Lorentz factor part of the ejecta will catch up with the high Lorentz factor part when the latter is decelerated by the surrounding medium to a comparable Lorentz factor. Such a process will develop a long-lasting weak reverse shock until the whole ejecta are shocked. Meanwhile, the forward shocked materials are gradually supplied with energy from the ejecta that are catching-up, and thus the temporal decay of the forward shock emission will be slower than that without an energy supply. However, the reverse shock may be strong. Here, we extend the standard reverse-forward shock model to the case of radially nonuniform ejecta. We show that this process can be classified into two cases： the thick shell case and the thin shell case. In the thin shell case, the reverse shock is weak and the temporal scaling law of the afterglow is the same as that in Sad ＆ Meszaros （2000）. However, in the thick shell case, the reverse shock is strong and thus its emission dominates the afterglow in the high energy band. Our results also show slower decaying behavior of the afterglow due to the energy supply by low Lorentz factor materials, which may help the understanding of the plateau observed in the early optical and X-ray afterglows.展开更多
