摘要:

背景:伽马射线暴是宇宙学上的一种源,它从伽玛射线中发射出无线电波段的辐射。在瞬发阶段(即高能辐射的初始爆发)和在长期余辉期间,对伽马射线暴进行了大量观测研究。尽管在解释这些现象方面取得了许多成功,但关于基本的排放过程、它们的能量学和环境,仍然存在一些悬而未决的关键问题。目的:独立于特定的伽玛射线暴理论配方,在GeV/TeV范围内的光谱预测是非常简单的,令人满意的建模与幂律,因此提供了一个非常有价值的工具来探测河外背景光分布。此外,在非常高的能量,即在$\sim 100$ \,GeV的分量的简单检测将解决关于各种可能的发射过程的重要性的模糊性,其在较低的能量提供几乎不可区分的场景。研究方法:我们利用MAGIC望远镜对能量在80 GeV以上的中等红移($z\sim0.76$)\object{GRB\,080430}的观测结果,评价了用地面GeV/TeV望远镜观测晚余辉的前景。结果如下:我们得到了$F_{\rm 95%\,CL} = 5.5 \times 10^{-11}$的上限,erg\,cm $^{-2}$ \,s $^{-1}$的非常高的能量发射的\object{GRB\,080430},这不能设置进一步的限制,为这个对象提出的理论方案,也由于建模的困难,低能量余辉。尽管如此,我们的观测表明,切伦科夫望远镜已经达到了所需的灵敏度,以检测GeV/TeV的伽玛暴发射在中等红移($z \lesssim 0.8$),提供的意见是在早期进行的,接近其余辉阶段的开始。

英文摘要:

Context: Gamma-ray bursts are cosmological sources emitting radiation from the gamma-rays to the radio band. Substantial observational efforts have been devoted to the study of gamma-ray bursts during the prompt phase, i.e. the initial burst of high-energy radiation, and during the long-lasting afterglows. In spite of many successes in interpreting these phenomena, there are still several open key questions about the fundamental emission processes, their energetics and the environment. Aim: Independently of specific gamma-ray burst theoretical recipes, spectra in the GeV/TeV range are predicted to be remarkably simple, being satisfactorily modeled with power-laws, and therefore offer a very valuable tool to probe the extragalactic background light distribution. Furthermore, the simple detection of a component at very-high energies, i.e. at $\sim 100$\,GeV, would solve the ambiguity about the importance of various possible emission processes, which provide barely distinguishable scenarios at lower energies. Methods: We used the results of the MAGIC telescope observation of the moderate resdhift ($z\sim0.76$) \object{GRB\,080430} at energies above about 80\,GeV, to evaluate the perspective for late-afterglow observations with ground based GeV/TeV telescopes. Results: We obtained an upper limit of $F_{\rm 95%\,CL} = 5.5 \times 10^{-11}$\,erg\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$ for the very-high energy emission of \object{GRB\,080430}, which cannot set further constraints on the theoretical scenarios proposed for this object also due to the difficulties in modeling the low-energy afterglow. Nonetheless, our observations show that Cherenkov telescopes have already reached the required sensitivity to detect the GeV/TeV emission of GRBs at moderate redshift ($z \lesssim 0.8$), provided the observations are carried out at early times, close to the onset of their afterglow phase.
