摘要:

雨燕号发现GRB 080319 B是迄今为止在肉眼亮度下观测到的最远的源,在红移z=0.937时达到5.3的峰值视星等。我们提出了我们的后期光学(HST,双子座和VLT)和X射线(钱德拉)的观测,证实了消色差的中断发生在幂律余辉光曲线在~11天后爆发。这很可能表明伽马射线暴(GRB)流出是准直的,对于均匀喷流,这意味着喷流中的总能量为E_{jet} \gsim 10^{52}尔格。我们的观测还显示了后期的红光过剩,这是很好的解释,如果伽玛射线暴伴随着超新星(SN),类似于在其他一些长持续时间的伽玛射线暴中看到的。最新的观测结果表明,伽玛暴发生在一个暗矮星系(r(AB)\approx 27.0,静止坐标系M_B \approx -17.2)中。即使以其他伽玛暴宿主的标准来看,这个星系也是很小的,这暗示了它的金属丰度很低。有趣的是,这个极端事件的性质-一个小的主机和明亮的超新星-完全是典型的非常低光度的爆发,如GRB 980425和GRB 060218。

英文摘要:

The Swift discovered GRB080319B was by far the most distant source ever observed at naked eye brightness, reaching a peak apparent magnitude of 5.3 at a redshift of z=0.937. We present our late-time optical (HST, Gemini & VLT) and X-ray (Chandra) observations, which confirm that an achromatic break occurred in the power-law afterglow light curve at ~11 days post-burst. This most likely indicates that the gamma-ray burst (GRB) outflow was collimated, which for a uniform jet would imply a total energy in the jet E_{jet} \gsim 10^{52} erg. Our observations also show a late-time excess of red light, which is well explained if the GRB was accompanied by a supernova (SN), similar to those seen in some other long-duration GRBs. The latest observations are dominated by light from the host and show that the GRB took place in a faint dwarf galaxy (r(AB)\approx27.0, rest-frame M_B\approx-17.2). This galaxy is small even by the standards of other GRB hosts, which is suggestive of a low metallicity environment. Intriguingly, the properties of this extreme event - a small host and bright supernova - are entirely typical of the very low-luminosity bursts such as GRB980425 and GRB060218.
