费米伽玛暴的Epeak-Eiso关系:解决一个长期存在的争论?

The Epeak-Eiso relation revisited with Fermi GRBs: Resolving a long-standing debate?

V. Heussaff, J-L. Atteia, Y. Zolnierowski

摘要:

我们使用费米和斯威夫特探测到的伽玛暴样本,重新分析了Amati等人(2002)发现的Epi(即时伽玛暴发射的峰值能量)和Eiso(假设各向同性发射的伽玛暴释放的能量)之间的相关性。这种相关性一直有争议的各种作者,我们的目的是评估它是否是一个固有的伽玛射线暴属性或选择效应的后果。我们构造了一个具有均匀选择准则的费米伽玛暴样品,并研究了它们在Epi-Eiso平面上的分布。我们的样品由43个有红移的伽玛暴和243个没有红移的伽玛暴组成。我们发现,有红移的伽玛暴遵循广泛的Epi-Eiso关系,而没有红移的伽玛暴有几个异常值。我们使用这些样本来讨论与伽玛射线暴探测和红移测量相关的选择效应的影响。我们发现Epi-Eiso关系部分是由于固有的伽玛暴性质,部分是由于选择效应。Epi-Eiso关系的右下边界源于真正缺乏具有低Epi的发光伽玛暴。相反,左上边界归因于选择效应,其作用于具有低Eiso和大Epi的检测伽玛暴,这些伽玛暴似乎具有较低的信噪比。此外,我们证明了有和没有红移的伽玛暴遵循不同的分布在Epi-Eiso平面。具有红移的伽玛暴集中在Epi-Eiso关系的右下边界附近。这表明在Epi-Eiso下界附近测量伽玛暴的红移是比较容易的。在这种情况下,我们属性的争议的现实阿马蒂关系的复杂性,这种关系的组合产生的一个真正的物理边界和偏见,有利于检测和测量的红移伽玛暴位于靠近这个边界。

英文摘要:

We used a sample of GRBs detected by Fermi and Swift to reanalyze the correlation discovered by Amati et al. (2002) between Epi, the peak energy of the prompt GRB emission, and Eiso, the energy released by the GRB assuming isotropic emission. This correlation has been disputed by various authors, and our aim is to assess whether it is an intrinsic GRB property or the consequence of selection effects. We constructed a sample of Fermi GRBs with homogeneous selection criteria, and we studied their distribution in the Epi-Eiso plane. Our sample is made of 43 GRBs with a redshift and 243 GRBs without a redshift. We show that GRBs with a redshift follow a broad Epi-Eiso relation, while GRBs without a redshift show several outliers. We use these samples to discuss the impact of selection effects associated with GRB detection and with redshift measurement. We find that the Epi-Eiso relation is partly due to intrinsic GRB properties and partly due to selection effects. The lower right boundary of the Epi-Eiso relation stems from a true lack of luminous GRBs with low Epi. In contrast, the upper left boundary is attributed to selection effects acting against the detection GRBs with low Eiso and large Epi that appear to have a lower signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, we demonstrate that GRBs with and without a redshift follow different distributions in the Epi-Eiso plane. GRBs with a redshift are concentrated near the lower right boundary of the Epi-Eiso relation. This suggests that it is easier to measure the redshift of GRBs close to the lower Epi-Eiso boundary. In this context, we attribute the controversy about the reality of the Amati relation to the complex nature of this relation resulting from the combination of a true physical boundary and biases favoring the detection and the measurement of the redshift of GRBs located close to this boundary.
