利用轨道背景扣除揭示低能级费米/GBM发射

Uncovering low-level Fermi/GBM emission using orbital background subtraction

Gerard Fitzpatrick, Valerie Connaughton, Sheila McBreen, Dave Tierney

摘要:

费米号上的第二个仪器是伽马射线暴监测器(GBM),它是一个全天监测器,由14个闪烁探测器组成。在分析诸如伽马射线暴(GRB)和太阳耀斑(SF)等瞬态事件时,背景通常被建模为多项式(0-4阶)。然而,对于长事件,背景可能变化得比用简单的多项式所能解释的更多。在这些情况下,需要更准确地了解GBM的背景速率。在这里,我们提出了一种替代的方法,既确定背景和区分低水平的排放从仪器背景。

英文摘要:

The secondary instrument onboard Fermi, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an all sky monitor consisting of 14 scintillation detectors. When analysing transient events such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Solar Flares (SFs) the background is usually modelled as a polynomial (order 0-4). However, for long events the background may vary more than can be accounted for with a simple polynomial. In these cases a more accurate knowledge of GBM's background rates is required. Here we present an alternative method of both determining the background and distinguishing low-level emission from the instrumental background.
