伽马射线暴耀斑:X射线耀斑。II

Gamma-ray Burst Flares: X-ray Flaring. II

C. A. Swenson, P. W. A. Roming

摘要:

我们提出了一个目录的497耀斑周期发现的伽马射线暴(GRB)光变曲线取自在线XRT GRB目录。我们分析了680个单独的光变曲线,使用耀斑检测方法开发和使用我们的紫外/光学GRB耀斑目录。该方法利用贝叶斯信息准则来分析拟合的GRB光变曲线的残差,并在统计上确定光变曲线残差的最佳拟合,以识别任何额外的特征。这些功能,我们归类为耀斑,通过迭代添加额外的“休息”的光变曲线。我们发现在310个分析的光变曲线中有耀斑的证据。对于那些有耀斑的光变曲线,我们发现每个GRB平均约有1.5个耀斑。与UV/光学一样,我们的样品中的耀斑通常局限于余辉的前1000 s,但可以检测到超过10^5 s。只有约50%的被探测到的耀斑符合Δt/t << 1的“经典”定义,许多最大的耀斑表现为Δt/t ~ 1,有些甚至超过这个值。

英文摘要:

We present a catalog of 497 flaring periods found in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves taken from the online XRT GRB Catalogue. We analyzed 680 individual light curves using a flare detection method developed and used on our UV/optical GRB Flare Catalog. The method makes use of the Bayesian Information Criterion to analyze the residuals of fitted GRB light curves and statistically determines the optimal fit to the light curve residuals in attempt to identify any additional features. These features, which we classify as flares, are identified by iteratively adding additional `breaks' to the light curve. We find evidence of flaring in 310 of the analyzed light curves. For those light curves with flares, we find an average number of ~1.5 flares per GRB. As with the UV/optical, flaring in our sample is generally confined to the first 1000 s of the afterglow, but can be detected to beyond 10^5 s. Only ~50% of the detected flares follow the `classical' definition of Δt/t << 1, with many of the largest flares exhibiting Δt/t ~ 1 and some exceeding this value.
