GRB970228和一类具有初始尖峰辐射的伽玛暴

GRB970228 and a class of GRBs with an initial spikelike emission

Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco, Letizia Caito, Maria Giovanna Dainotti, Roberto Guida, Remo Ruffini

摘要:

Swift和HETE-2发现的余辉可能与短伽玛暴有关,这为伽玛暴的性质和分类带来了新的问题。GRB 060614的观测和BATSE星表的重新分析进一步加强了这一点,从而确定了一个新的GRB类别,即"在最初的尖峰状发射之后,偶尔会有持续十分之几秒的较软的延长发射"。我们计划:a)将这类新的"混合"源纳入我们的"规范GRB"方案,其中所有GRB都是由"共同引擎"(即引力坍缩到黑洞)产生的; b)提出GRB 970228作为此类源的原型。我们分析BeppoSAX数据GRB 970228在40 - 700千电子伏和2 - 26千电子伏的能量带内的"火壳"模型。我们发现GRB 970228是一个"典型的伽玛暴",就像GRB 050315一样,其主要特点是环爆介质(CBM)的平均密度特别低,约为n_{cbm} 10 ^{-3}#/cm ^3。我们还模拟了对应于n_{cbm} = 1 #/cm ^3的重新缩放的CBM密度分布的光变曲线。从这样的比较可以看出,总时间-积分亮度是伽玛暴性质的可靠指标,而峰值光度仅仅是CBM密度的函数。我们呼吁注意区分短伽玛暴的“真”和“假”。"真正的"粒子本质上是短的,重子负载B \la 10 ^{-5},正如我们最初的分类所述。"假"粒子的特征是初始的尖峰状发射,随后是持续十分之一秒的扩展发射,其重子负载为10 ^{-4} \la B \leq 10 ^{-2}。它们之所以被观测到,是因为与星系晕环境一致的低密度煤层气使余辉强度降低。

英文摘要:

(Shortened) The Swift and HETE-2 discovery of an afterglow associated possibly with short GRBs opened the new problematic of their nature and classification. This has been further enhanced by the GRB060614 observation and by a re-analysis of the BATSE catalog leading to the identification of a new GRB class with "an occasional softer extended emission lasting tenths of seconds after an initial spikelike emission". We plan: a) to fit this new class of "hybrid" sources within our "canonical GRB" scenario, where all GRBs are generated by a "common engine" (i.e. the gravitational collapse to a black hole); b) to propose GRB970228 as the prototype of the such a class. We analyze BeppoSAX data on GRB970228 in the 40-700 keV and 2-26 keV energy bands within the "fireshell" model. We find that GRB970228 is a "canonical GRB", like e.g. GRB050315, with the main peculiarity of a particularly low CircumBurst Medium (CBM) average density n_{cbm}~10^{-3} #/cm^3. We also simulate the light curve corresponding to a rescaled CBM density profile with n_{cbm}=1 #/cm^3. From such a comparison it follows that the total time-integrated luminosity is a faithful indicator of the GRB nature, contrary to the peak luminosity which is merely a function of the CBM density. We call attention on discriminating the short GRBs between the "genuine" and the "fake" ones. The "genuine" ones are intrinsically short, with baryon loading B \la 10^{-5}, as stated in our original classification. The "fake" ones, characterized by an initial spikelike emission followed by an extended emission lasting tenths of seconds, have a baryon loading 10^{-4} \la B \leq 10^{-2}. They are observed as such only due to an underdense CBM consistent with a galactic halo environment which deflates the afterglow intensity.
