摘要:

我们提出了深光学和红外观测的短持续时间GRB 050906。虽然没有发现X射线或光学/红外余辉的深度限制,伽玛射线暴的误差圆(来自雨燕BAT)是不寻常的,包括相对本地的星暴星系IC 328。这使得GRB 050906成为软伽马中继站的候选爆发,类似于SGR 1806-20的巨型耀斑。一个给定的BAT位置与这样一个星系偶然对齐的概率很小(<1%),尽管误差圆的大小(2.6弧分半径)是这样的,不能排除一个更高z的原点。事实上,误差圆还包括一个中等丰富的星系团在z=0.43,这是一个合理的位置,为爆炸鉴于明显的偏好,短伽玛射线暴有高质量密度的区域。没有观测到任何残余的光学或红外辐射,无论是余辉还是任何相关的超新星事件的后期辐射。我们讨论的约束,这些限制放置在祖GRB 050906的基础上预期的光学签名从SGRs和合并紧凑的对象系统。

英文摘要:

We present deep optical and infrared observations of the short duration GRB 050906. Although no X-ray or optical/IR afterglow was discovered to deep limits, the error circle of the GRB (as derived from the Swift BAT) is unusual incontaining the relatively local starburst galaxy IC328. This makes GRB 050906 a candidate burst from a soft-gamma repeater, similar to the giant flare from SGR 1806-20. The probability of chance alignment of a given BAT position with such a galaxy is small (<1%), although the size of the error circle (2.6 arcminute radius) is such that a higher-z origin can't be ruled out. Indeed, the error circle also includes a moderately rich galaxy cluster at z=0.43, which is a plausible location for the burst given the apparent preference that short GRBs have for regions of high mass density. No residual optical or infrared emission has been observed, either in the form of an afterglow or later time emission from any associated supernova-like event. We discuss the constraints these limits place on the progenitor of GRB 050906 based on the expected optical signatures from both SGRs and merging compact object systems.
