H.E.S.S. GRB 060602 B的瞬发和余辉相观测

H.E.S.S. Observations of the Prompt and Afterglow Phases of GRB 060602B

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

摘要:

我们报告了使用大气成像切伦科夫望远镜阵列首次完全同时观测到的伽马射线暴(GRB),该望远镜对甚高能(VHE)伽玛射线范围(>~100 GeV)中的光子敏感。2006年6月2日,雨燕爆发警报望远镜(BAT)记录到一个异常柔软的伽马射线暴(GRB 060602 B)。使用高能立体视觉系统(H.E.S.S.)观察爆破位置。在爆炸发生的时候在爆破前、爆破期间和爆破后采集数据。在2006年6月2日至3日的晚上,总共获得了5个小时的观测,在接下来的3个晚上又获得了5个小时的观测。在H.E.S.S.所涵盖的时间段内,未发现VHE伽马射线信号。意见。GRB 060602 B瞬发相(9 s)的99%置信水平通量上限(>1 TeV)为2.9 × 10 ^-9 erg cm^-2 s^-1。由于暴的BAT光谱与其他雨燕伽玛暴相比非常软,而且它靠近银河系中心,因此暴很可能与银河系X射线暴有关,尽管不能排除它是宇宙学伽玛暴的可能性。我们讨论了这两个突发情况下,我们的通量限制的影响。

英文摘要:

We report on the first completely simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) using an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes which is sensitive to photons in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray range (>~100 GeV). On 2006 June 2, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) registered an unusually soft gamma-ray burst (GRB 060602B). The burst position was under observation using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) at the time the burst occurred. Data were taken before, during, and after the burst. A total of 5 hours of observations were obtained during the night of 2006 June 2-3, and 5 additional hours were obtained over the next 3 nights. No VHE gamma-ray signal was found during the period covered by the H.E.S.S. observations. The 99% confidence level flux upper limit (>1 TeV) for the prompt phase (9s) of GRB 060602B is 2.9x10^-9 erg cm^-2 s^-1. Due to the very soft BAT spectrum of the burst compared to other Swift GRBs and its proximity to the Galactic center, the burst is likely associated with a Galactic X-ray burster, although the possibility of it being a cosmological GRB cannot be ruled out. We discuss the implications of our flux limits in the context of these two bursting scenarios.
