伽马射线暴脉冲振荡:嵌入冲击信号的证据?

Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Shapes: Evidence for Embedded Shock Signatures?

Jon Hakkila, Robert D. Preece

摘要:

对长、中伽马射线暴光变曲线中一组孤立脉冲的研究表明,具有平滑单调脉冲上升和衰减区的简单脉冲模型是不够的。检查脉冲与这些模型的拟合残差,可以发现以下偏离平滑脉冲的模式:在每个脉冲的残差中发现的三个独立的波状峰(前兆峰,中心峰和衰减峰)与基础的诺里斯等人(2005)脉冲模型相结合,在每个脉冲的时间演化中产生五个不同的区域。前体陆架发生在指数快速上升之前或同时。脉冲在峰值平台达到最大强度,然后经历快速衰减。衰减逐渐减缓,形成一个延伸的尾巴。尽管有这些不同的时间段,研究的脉冲几乎普遍的特点是硬到软的频谱演变,认为新的脉冲功能反映了一个单一的演变,而不是脉冲重叠的文物。波动可以使单个脉冲具有多达三个不同的局部峰值的外观,如果使用不正确的脉冲模型,则导致脉冲拟合中的模糊性。该方法表明,复杂的伽玛暴可能是由更少的脉冲比所示的峰的数量。伽马射线暴脉冲内相似的光谱-时间行为表明,一个单一的过程是负责产生脉冲跨越巨大的范围内的持续时间,亮度和光谱硬度,和相关的特征的波形峰与脉冲的不对称性,建议运动学的起源,似乎支持相对论冲击。

英文摘要:

A study of a set of well-isolated pulses in Long and Intermediate gamma ray burst light curves indicates that simple pulse models having smooth and monotonic pulse rise and decay regions are inadequate. Examining the residuals of fits of pulses to such models suggests the following patterns of departure from smooth pulses: three separate wavelike peaks found in the residuals of each pulse (the precursor peak, the central peak, and the decay peak) combine with the underlying Norris et al. (2005) pulse model to produce five distinct regions in the temporal evolution of each pulse. The Precursor Shelf occurs prior to or concurrent with the exponential Rapid Rise. The pulse reaches maximum intensity at the Peak Plateau, then undergoes a Rapid Decay. The decay gradually slows into an Extended Tail. Despite these distinct temporal segments, the pulses studied are almost universally characterized by hard to soft spectral evolution, arguing that the new pulse features reflect a single evolution, rather than being artifacts of pulse overlap. The fluctuations can give a single pulse the appearance of having up to three distinct localized peaks, leading to ambiguities in pulse-fitting if an incorrect pulse model is used. The approach demonstrates that complex GRBs may be composed of fewer pulses than indicated by the number of peaks. The large degree of similar spectro-temporal behavior within gamma-ray burst pulses indicates that a single process is responsible for producing pulses spanning a tremendous range of durations, luminosities, and spectral hardnesses, and the correlated characteristics of the wavelike peaks are related to the pulse asymmetry, suggesting kinematic origins that seem supportive of relativistic shocks.
