摘要:

我们提出了一个概念验证的研究,尘埃消光曲线可以提取的红外(IR),光学,紫外(UV)和X射线余辉观测的伽玛暴,而不假设已知的消光定律。我们专注于GRB 050525 A(z = 0.606),我们也提出了红外观测斯皮策太空望远镜在大约2.3天后爆发。我们构造了余辉的光谱能量分布(SED),并利用它导出了宿主星系在7个光学/紫外波段的尘埃消光曲线。通过将我们推导出的消光曲线与已知的模板进行比较,我们看到银河系或银河系的消光定律与小麦哲伦云和大麦云(SMC和LMC)的消光定律相比是不利的,但我们不能排除在我们的消光曲线中存在类似LMC的2175埃凸起。GRB 050525 A的宿主星系中存在的尘埃与气体的比例与大麦哲伦星系中发现的相似,而如果假设SMC模板,则需要大约10%至40%的尘埃。我们的方法是有用的天文台,能够同时观测伽玛暴余辉在多个波段从红外到X射线。

英文摘要:

We present a proof-of-concept study that dust extinction curves can be extracted from the infrared (IR), optical, ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray afterglow observations of GRBs without assuming known extinction laws. We focus on GRB 050525A (z = 0.606), for which we also present IR observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope at about 2.3 days post-burst. We construct the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the afterglow and use it to derive the dust extinction curve of the host galaxy in 7 optical/UV wavebands. By comparing our derived extinction curve to known templates, we see that the Galactic or Milky Way extinction laws are disfavored versus the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud (SMC and LMC) ones, but that we cannot rule out the presence of a LMC-like 2175 angstrom bump in our extinction curve. The dust-to-gas ratio present within the host galaxy of GRB 050525A is similar to that found in the LMC, while about 10 to 40% more dust is required if the SMC template is assumed. Our method is useful to observatories that are capable of simultaneously observing GRB afterglows in multiple wavebands from the IR to the X-ray.
