紧伽马射线暴光度关系

Toward tight gamma-ray burst luminosity relations

Shi Qi, Tan Lu

摘要:

伽马射线暴(GRB)的光度关系的大散射一直是阻碍GRB在宇宙学中广泛应用的重要原因之一。人们已经做了许多努力来寻求紧密的光度关系。利用最新的116个具有实测红移和光谱参数的伽玛暴样本,我们研究了伽玛暴的6个二维关联和14个三维关联,以探索减少伽玛暴光度关系中内禀散射的可能性。我们发现$E_{\mathrm{peak}}$ - $τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$ -$L$的3D相关性明显比其对应的2D相关性更紧密(在$2 σ$置信水平),即,$E_{\mathrm{peak}}$ -$L$和$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$ - $L$相关性。另外,在$E_{\mathrm{peak}}$-$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$-$L$相关中,在$E_{\mathrm{peak}}$和$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$的倒数之前的系数几乎彼此完全相反。将这种情况作为先验输入,将关系简化为$L \propto (E_{\mathrm{peak}}^{'} / τ_{\mathrm{RT}}^{'})^{0.842 \pm 0.064}$,其中$E_{\mathrm{peak}}^{'}$和$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}^{'}$表示GRB静止帧中的峰值能量和最小上升时间。我们将讨论如何在光度(以时间为单位释放的能量)定义的框架内解释/理解我们的发现。我们对伽玛暴光度关系与光度定义之间联系的讨论为进一步探索更紧密的伽玛暴光度关系提供了明确的方向。

英文摘要:

The large scatters of luminosity relations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been one of the most important reasons that prevent the extensive applications of GRBs in cosmology. Many efforts have been made to seek tight luminosity relations. With the latest sample of 116 GRBs with measured redshift and spectral parameters, we investigate 6 two-dimensional (2D) correlations and 14 derived three-dimensional (3D) correlations of GRBs to explore the possibility of decreasing the intrinsic scatters of the luminosity relations of GRBs. We find the 3D correlation of $E_{\mathrm{peak}}$--$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$--$L$ to be evidently tighter (at the $2 σ$ confidence level) than its corresponding 2D correlations, i.e., the $E_{\mathrm{peak}}$--$L$ and $τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$--$L$ correlations. In addition, the coefficients before the logarithms of $E_{\mathrm{peak}}$ and $τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$ in the $E_{\mathrm{peak}}$--$τ_{\mathrm{RT}}$--$L$ correlation are almost exact opposites of each other. Inputting this situation as a prior reduces the relation to $L \propto (E_{\mathrm{peak}}^{'} / τ_{\mathrm{RT}}^{'})^{0.842 \pm 0.064}$, where $E_{\mathrm{peak}}^{'}$ and $τ_{\mathrm{RT}}^{'}$ denote the peak energy and minimum rise time in the GRB rest frame. We discuss how our findings can be interpreted/understood in the framework of the definition of the luminosity (energy released in units of time). Our argument about the connection between the luminosity relations of GRBs and the definition of the luminosity provides a clear direction for exploring tighter luminosity relations of GRBs in the future.
