摘要:

光谱滞后,即高能光子和低能光子到达的时间差,是伽马射线暴(GRB)的一个共同特征。Norris等人在2000年报告了基于有限样本的伽玛暴光谱滞后和各向同性峰值亮度之间的相关性。最近,一些作者使用各种仪器的任意能带进一步支持了这种相关性。在本文中,我们报告了一个系统的提取光谱滞后的基础上最大的雨燕样本的31个测量红移的伽玛暴。我们提取了标准斯威夫特硬X射线能带的所有组合的光谱滞后:15-25 keV,25-50 keV,50-100 keV和100-200 keV,并绘制了时间膨胀校正滞后作为各向同性峰值亮度的函数。各种通道组合的相关系数的平均值为-0.68,机会概率为~ 0.7 x 10^{-3}。此外,幂律指数的平均值为1.4 +/- 0.3。因此,我们的研究提供了一个滞后光度相关性的存在,虽然与大的散射的支持。

英文摘要:

Spectral lag, the time difference between the arrival of high-energy and low-energy photons, is a common feature in Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). Norris et al. 2000 reported a correlation between the spectral lag and the isotropic peak luminosity of GRBs based on a limited sample. More recently, a number of authors have provided further support for this correlation using arbitrary energy bands of various instruments. In this paper we report on a systematic extraction of spectral lags based on the largest Swift sample to date of 31 GRBs with measured redshifts. We extracted the spectral lags for all combinations of the standard Swift hard x-ray energy bands: 15-25 keV, 25-50 keV, 50-100 keV and 100-200 keV and plotted the time dilation corrected lag as a function of isotropic peak luminosity. The mean value of the correlation coefficient for various channel combinations is -0.68 with a chance probability of ~ 0.7 x 10^{-3}. In addition, the mean value of the power-law index is 1.4 +/- 0.3. Hence, our study lends support for the existence of a lag-luminosity correlation, albeit with large scatter.
