摘要:

虽然伽马射线暴(GRB)的余辉被其宿主星系中的尘埃所遮蔽和变红是众所周知的,但尘埃消光的波长依赖性和数量仍然知之甚少。目前的研究主要依赖于余辉光谱能量分布(SED)与模板消光模型拟合。推断的消光(数量和波长依赖性)和尘埃-气体比往往是在不同意从尘埃耗尽和X射线光谱研究。我们认为,这种差异可能是由于模板灭绝定律的先验假设。我们提出了一个近似伽玛暴宿主消光定律的解析公式。与模板消光定律自包含的,并揭示消光规律不同于传统的能力,它表明,这是一个强大的方法在建模的余辉SEDs得到伽玛射线暴主机消光。

英文摘要:

Although it is well recognized that gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are obscured and reddened by dust in their host galaxies, the wavelength-dependence and quantity of dust extinction are still poorly known. Current studies on this mostly rely on fitting the afterglow spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with template extinction models. The inferred extinction (both quantity and wavelength-dependence) and dust-to-gas ratios are often in disagreement with that obtained from dust depletion and X-ray spectroscopy studies. We argue that this discrepancy could result from the prior assumption of a template extinction law. We propose an analytical formula to approximate the GRB host extinction law. With the template extinction laws self-contained, and the capability of revealing extinction laws differing from the conventional ones, it is shown that this is a powerful approach in modeling the afterglow SEDs to derive GRB host extinction.
