摘要:

利用ROTSE-Ⅲ(Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment III)观测到的58个伽玛暴,计算了伽马射线暴的光学光度函数(LF)。我们的伽玛暴样本分为两个子样本:检测余辉(18伽玛暴),和上限(40伽玛暴)。推导出这两个子样本爆发开始后100 s的$R$带通量。假设同动伽玛暴速率跟踪恒星形成速率,拟合了100 s处的光学LF。在利用蒙特卡罗模拟拟合光学LF的过程中考虑了ROTSE-III的探测功能。我们发现,在100秒的光发射的累积分布是很好的描述指数上升和幂律衰减(ERPLD),破幂律(BPL),和Schechter LF。另一方面,一个单一的幂律(SPL)LF被排除在高置信度之外。

英文摘要:

We present the optical luminosity function (LF) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) estimated from a uniform sample of 58 GRBs from observations with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment III (ROTSE-III). Our GRB sample is divided into two sub-samples: detected afterglows (18 GRBs), and those with upper limits (40 GRBs). The $R$ band fluxes 100s after the onset of the burst for these two sub-samples are derived. The optical LFs at 100s are fitted by assuming that the co-moving GRB rate traces the star-formation rate. The detection function of ROTSE-III is taken into account during the fitting of the optical LFs by using Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the cumulative distribution of optical emission at 100s is well-described with an exponential rise and power-law decay (ERPLD), broken power-law (BPL), and Schechter LFs. A single power-law (SPL) LF, on the other hand, is ruled out with high confidence.
