摘要:

目的:伽马射线暴(GRB)之前有时会出现较暗的发射事件,称为“前兆”,其性质仍然是一个谜:它们可能与主发射事件具有相同的起源,也可能是由于另一种机制。我们调查,如果前兆有一些光谱的独特功能,相对于主要的伽玛暴事件。方法:为此目的,我们比较了伽玛暴前兆事件和主事件的光谱演化。我们还研究了光谱参数,特别是时间分辨光谱的vFv谱的峰值,是否以及如何与通量相关。这使我们能够测试前兆和主事件的光谱是否属于相同的相关性(如果有的话)。我们在BATSE探测到的2704个暴的完整样本中搜索了具有前兆活动的GRB,发现12%的GRB具有一个或多个前兆。其中,我们考虑了Kaneko等人2006年进行的时间分辨光谱分析的爆发,选择那些至少有两个时间分辨光谱的前兆。结果:我们发现前兆和主事件具有非常相似的光谱特性。前体内的光谱演变具有与在随后的峰中观察到的光谱演变相似的趋势。前兆的典型光谱参数也与主伽玛暴事件相似。此外,在几种情况下,我们发现,在前体的频谱的峰值能量与流量类似的发生在主GRB事件。这非常有利于模型,其中的前体是由于相同的火球物理的主要排放事件。

英文摘要:

Aims: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are sometimes preceded by dimmer emission episodes, called "precursors", whose nature is still a puzzle: they could either have the same origin as the main emission episode or they could be due to another mechanism. We investigate if precursors have some spectral distinctive feature with respect to the main GRB episodes. Methods: To this aim we compare the spectral evolution of the precursor with that of the main GRB event. We also study if and how the spectral parameters, and in particular the peak of the vFv spectrum of time resolved spectra, correlates with the flux. This allows us to test if the spectra of the precursor and of the main event belong to the same correlation (if any). We searched GRBs with precursor activity in the complete sample of 2704 bursts detected by BATSE finding that 12% of GRBs have one or more precursors. Among these we considered the bursts with time resolved spectral analysis performed by Kaneko et al. 2006, selecting those having at least two time resolved spectra for the precursor. Results: We find that precursors and main events have very similar spectral properties. The spectral evolution within precursors has similar trends as the spectral evolution observed in the subsequent peaks. Also the typical spectral parameters of the precursors are similar to those of the main GRB events. Moreover, in several cases we find that within the precursors the peak energy of the spectrum is correlated with the flux similarly to what happens in the main GRB event. This strongly favors models in which the precursor is due to the same fireball physics of the main emission episodes.
