长伽玛暴高能~1 GeV发射的FERMI约束

FERMI constraints on the high energy, ~1 GeV, emission of long GRBs

Dafne Guetta, Elena Pian, Eli Waxman

摘要:

我们研究了GBM探测到的~1 MeV长持续时间伽马射线暴(LGRB)的通量分布对LGRB的亮度函数(LF)的限制,以及LAT探测器探测不到绝大多数~ 95%的~1 GeV高能LGRB的影响。我们发现一个LF是一致的BATSE和斯威夫特确定的。LAT的未探测性为~1 GeV的瞬发注量与~1 MeV的瞬发注量之比R设定了上限。对于更亮的爆发,上限更严格,对于{5,30,60}%的爆发,R<{0.1,0.3,1}。这意味着对于大多数爆发,~1 GeV的瞬发辐射可能与~1 MeV的辐射相当,但不能支配它。R的值不是普适的,在R~10^(-1)附近有(至少)一个数量级的扩散。对于几个在~1 MeV处具有可靠的光子谱指数测定的明亮爆发,LAT未检测到意味着~100 MeV通量的上限小于通过将~1 MeV通量外推到高能量而获得的通量的0.1。对于广泛接受的模型,其中~1 MeV幂律光子谱反映了快速冷却电子的幂律能量分布,这表明电子能量分布在很宽的能量范围内不遵循幂律,或者高能光子被吸收。要求在~100 MeV处的阶单位对产生光学深度设定了洛伦兹因子的上限,γ <=10^(2.5)。

英文摘要:

We investigate the constraints imposed on the luminosity function (LF) of long duration Gamma Ray Bursts (LGRBs) by the flux distribution of bursts detected by the GBM at ~1 MeV, and the implications of the non detection of the vast majority, ~95%, of the LGRBs at higher energy, ~1 GeV, by the LAT detector. We find a LF that is consistent with those determined by BATSE and Swift. The non detections by LAT set upper limits on the ratio R of the prompt fluence at ~1 GeV to that at ~1 MeV. The upper limits are more stringent for brighter bursts, with R<{0.1,0.3,1} for {5,30,60}% of the bursts. This implies that for most bursts the prompt ~1 GeV emission may be comparable to the ~1 MeV emission, but can not dominate it. The value of R is not universal, with a spread of (at least) an order of magnitude around R~10^(-1). For several bright bursts with reliable determination of the photon spectral index at ~1 MeV, the LAT non detection implies an upper limit to the ~100 MeV flux which is <0.1 of the flux obtained by extrapolating the ~1 MeV flux to high energy. For the widely accepted models, in which the ~1 MeV power-law photon spectrum reflects the power-law energy distribution of fast cooling electrons, this suggests that either the electron energy distribution does not follow a power-law over a wide energy range, or that the high energy photons are absorbed. Requiring an order unity pair production optical depth at ~100 MeV sets an upper limit for the Lorentz factor, Gamma<=10^(2.5).
