摘要:

与超新星(SN)2003 dh相关的长持续时间伽马射线暴(GRB)030329发生在一个恒星形成的矮星系内,红移为$z=0.1685$。低的红移,以及丰富的哈勃太空望远镜(HST)档案图像,使这个伽玛射线暴非常适合对爆炸附近的恒星星族进行详细研究。由于恒星的寿命与其质量直接相关,因此恒星星族的年龄可以用来限制伽玛暴和超新星的前身质量。从HST图像中,我们提取了GRB起源的精确位置的颜色,并发现这些颜色与整个宿主星系和周围星暴环境的颜色显着不同。我们使用光谱演化模型,包括星云发射,仔细限制恒星星族的年龄,因此,在爆炸现场的祖先。对于瞬时爆发模型,我们发现500万年的星群年龄与数据最匹配,这表明一个非常大的(M > 50 M_sun)恒星作为祖先,上限为800万年(M > 25 M_sun)。对于更广泛的恒星形成场景,推断的祖先年龄在大多数情况下仍然非常年轻(年龄<700万年,意味着M > 25M_sun),上限为2000万年(M > 12M_sun)。这些年龄估计是一个数量级低于从整体的宿主星系的颜色推断的年龄,这表明祖质量估计的基础上的数据空间未解决的伽玛射线暴宿主星系一般是有限的使用。我们的结果是一致的,与Bronsar的情况。

英文摘要:

The long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 030329, associated with supernova (SN) 2003dh, occurred inside a star-forming dwarf galaxy at redshift $z=0.1685$. The low redshift, and a rich set of archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, makes this GRB well-suited for a detailed study of the stellar population in the immediate vicinity of the explosion. Since the lifetime of a star is directly tied to its mass, the age of the stellar population can be used to put constraints on the GRB and SN progenitor mass. From the HST images we extract the colours of the precise site from which the GRB originated, and find that the colours are significantly different from those of the overall host galaxy and the surrounding starburst environment. We have used spectral evolutionary models, including nebular emission, to carefully constrain the age of the stellar population, and hence the progenitor, at the very explosion site. For instantaneous burst models we find that a population age of 5 Myr best matches the data, suggesting a very massive (M > 50 M_sun) star as the progenitor, with an upper limit of 8 Myr (M > 25 M_sun). For more extended star formation scenarios, the inferred progenitor age is in most cases still very young (age < 7 Myr, implying M > 25 M_sun), with an upper limit of 20 Myr (M > 12 M_sun). These age estimates are an order of magnitude lower than the ages inferred from the overall host galaxy colours, indicating that progenitor mass estimates based on data for spatially unresolved GRB host galaxies will in general be of limited use. Our results are consistent with the collapsar scenario.
