摘要:

利用BAT、XRT、UVOT数据和10台地面望远镜的多色光学成像,对雨燕GRB 061126的瞬发和余辉发射进行了详细的研究。GRB 061126是一个长爆发(T_90=191 s),在其伽马射线光变曲线上有四个重叠的峰。在爆发后26分钟到20天观察到的X射线余辉显示出简单的幂律衰减,α_X=1.290 \pm 0.008。这里提出的光学观测涵盖的时间范围从258秒(福克斯望远镜北)到15天(双子座北)后的爆发,光学余辉的衰减率显示了一个陡峭的浅过渡(从α_1 =1.48 \pm 0.06到α_2 =0.88 \pm 0.03)约13分钟后爆发。我们建议早期,陡峭的组件是由于反向冲击,并表明,在喷出物中的磁能密度,表示为一小部分的equiparttion值,是几十倍大于在前向冲击在早期余辉阶段。喷出物可能在中央引擎处被赋予了原始磁场。光学光变曲线意味着在爆发后约1.5天出现了一个后期的断裂,而没有证据表明X射线光变曲线同时出现了断裂。我们模拟的宽带发射,并表明,一些余辉特性(陡峭的衰减在X射线和浅光谱指数从光学X射线)是很难解释的标准火球模型的框架。这可能意味着X射线余辉是由于一个额外的排放过程,如后期中央发动机活动,而不是爆炸波冲击排放。爆发后1.5天可能出现的色中断支持了额外排放的假设。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed study of the prompt and afterglow emission from Swift GRB 061126 using BAT, XRT, UVOT data and multi-color optical imaging from ten ground-based telescopes. GRB 061126 was a long burst (T_90=191 s) with four overlapping peaks in its gamma-ray light curve. The X-ray afterglow, observed from 26 min to 20 days after the burst, shows a simple power-law decay with alpha_X=1.290 \pm 0.008. Optical observations presented here cover the time range from 258 s (Faulkes Telescope North) to 15 days (Gemini North) after the burst; the decay rate of the optical afterglow shows a steep-to-shallow transition (from alpha_1=1.48 \pm 0.06 to alpha_2=0.88 \pm 0.03) approximately 13 min after the burst. We suggest the early, steep component is due to a reverse shock and show that the magnetic energy density in the ejecta, expressed as a fraction of the equipartion value, is a few ten times larger than in the forward shock in the early afterglow phase. The ejecta might be endowed with primordial magnetic fields at the central engine. The optical light curve implies a late-time break at about 1.5 days after the burst, while there is no evidence of the simultaneous break in the X-ray light curve. We model the broad band emission and show that some afterglow characteristics (the steeper decay in X-ray and the shallow spectral index from optical to X-ray) are difficult to explain in the framework of the standard fireball model. This might imply that the X-ray afterglow is due to an additional emission process, such as late time central engine activity rather than blast-wave shock emission. The possible chromatic break at 1.5 days after the burst would give support to the additional emission scenario.
