摘要:

在短GRB 070714 B的主机上的Gemini Nod & Shuffle光谱显示在7167埃处的单一发射线,基于grizJHK光度红移,我们得出结论是3727埃[O II]线。这使得宿主的红移z= 0.923,超过了GRB 051221所保持的光谱确认的最高短爆发红移z= 0.546的记录。这大大地将我们知道的短爆发形成的时间向后移动,并表明目前关于古老祖先种群的证据可能存在观测偏差。

英文摘要:

Gemini Nod & Shuffle spectroscopy on the host of the short GRB 070714B shows a single emission line at 7167 angstroms which, based on a grizJHK photometric redshift, we conclude is the 3727 angstrom [O II] line. This places the host at a redshift of z=.923 exceeding the previous record for the highest spectroscopically confirmed short burst redshift of z=.546 held by GRB 051221. This dramatically moves back the time at which we know short bursts were being formed, and suggests that the present evidence for an old progenitor population may be observationally biased.
