GRB 090423:标志着z=8.2的大质量恒星的死亡

GRB 090423: Marking the Death of a Massive Star at z=8.2

摘要:

GRB 090423是z~ 8.2的伽马射线暴的新的高z记录保持者。我们提出了一个详细的分析的光谱和时间的特点,GRB 090423观察到的雨燕/BAT和费米/GBM。我们发现在15-150 keV波段用BAT观察到的T90为13.2 s,对应于z=8.2时的~ 1.4 s。自从发现z=6.7的GRB 080913以来,它再次引起了一个问题,即高z GRB的祖先是大质量恒星还是合并。与目前已知红移的GRB样品暴帧中的T90分布相比,我们发现它被边缘地归入长组(II型GRB)。BAT和GBM观察到的光谱与指数截止的幂律很好地拟合,得出Ep=50.4+/-7.0 keV。该事件很好地满足Amati关系的第二型伽玛暴在其3 σ的不确定性范围内。我们的研究结果表明,这一事件可能是由一颗大质量恒星的死亡造成的。基于Amati关系,我们导出了它的距离模,它在红移~8.2处符合和谐宇宙学模型的哈勃图。

英文摘要:

GRB 090423 is the new high-z record holder of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with z~ 8.2. We present a detailed analysis of both the spectral and temporal features of GRB 090423 observed with Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM. We find that the T90 observed with BAT in the 15-150 keV band is 13.2 s, corresponding to ~ 1.4 s at z=8.2. It once again gives rise to an issue whether the progenitors of high-z GRBs are massive stars or mergers since the discovery of GRB 080913 at z=6.7. In comparison with T90 distribution in the burst frame of current redshift-known GRB sample, we find that it is marginally grouped into the long group (Type II GRBs). The spectrum observed with both BAT and GBM is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff, which yields an Ep=50.4+/-7.0 keV. The event well satisfies the Amati-relation for the Type II GRBs within their 3 siggma uncertainty range. Our results indicate that this event would be produced by the death of a massive star. Based on the Amati-relation, we derive its distance modulus, which follows the Hubble diagram of the concordance cosmology model at a redshift of ~8.2.
