We solve the evolution of a shock wave driven by the wind from magnetar and evaluate the temperature evolution, by which we estimate the amount of $^{56}$Ni that would produce a bright emission of HNe. We obtain a constraint on the magnetar parameters, namely the poloidal magnetic field strength ($B_p$) and initial angular velocity ($\\Omega_i$), for synthesizing enough $^{56}$Ni mass to explain HNe ($M_{^{56}\\mathrm{Ni}}\\gtrsim 0.2M_\\odot$), i.e. $(B_p/10^{16}~\\mathrm{G})^{1/2}(\\Omega_i/10^4~\\mathrm{rad~s}^{-1})\\gtrsim 1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-08-13T20:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long gamma-ray bursts", "magnetar model", "hypernovae", "poloidal magnetic field strength", "initial angular velocity" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stv901", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2015, "month": "Jul", "volume": 451, "number": 1, "pages": 282 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1310798, "adsabs": "2015MNRAS.451..282S" } } }
