摘要:

伽马射线暴的X射线耀斑通常在软X射线波段观测到,光谱覆盖范围有限。在本文中,我们提出了一个分析的32 GRB X射线耀斑,同时观察到的BAT和XRT在船上的斯威夫特任务,因此,联合光谱分析与更广泛的光谱覆盖范围是可能的。结果表明,19个耀斑的联合光谱符合吸收的单次幂律或带函数模型。更有趣的是,其他13个X射线耀斑的联合谱都是用吸收的单次幂律模型加上一个黑体(BB)分量拟合的。从现象上看,这13个耀斑的观测光谱类似于几个具有热分量的伽玛暴,但只是具有低得多的$kT=1\sim 3$ keV的温度。假设热辐射是伽玛暴火球的光球辐射,我们导出了13个有红移测量的耀斑的火球性质,如外流的体洛伦兹因子$Γ_{\rm ph}$。导出的$Γ_{\rm ph}$的范围从$50$到$150$,并找到了$Γ_{\rm ph}$与热发射光度的关系,这与对瞬发γ射线发射导出的$Γ_0-L_{\rm iso}$关系是一致的。我们从伽玛暴和X射线耀斑的喷流成分和辐射机制等方面讨论了这些结果的物理意义。

英文摘要:

X-ray flares of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are usually observed in the soft X-ray range and the spectral coverage is limited. In this paper, we present an analysis of 32 GRB X-ray flares that are simultaneously observed by both BAT and XRT on board the Swift mission, so a joint spectral analysis with a wider spectral coverage is possible. Our results show that the joint spectra of 19 flares are fitted with the absorbed single power-law or the Band function models. More interestingly, the joint spectra of the other 13 X-ray flares are fitted with the absorbed single power-law model plus a black body (BB) component. Phenomenally, the observed spectra of these 13 flares are analogous to several GRBs with a thermal component, but only with a much lower temperature of $kT=1\sim 3$ keV. Assuming that the thermal emission is the photosphere emission of the GRB fireball, we derive the fireball properties of the 13 flares that have redshift measurements, such as the bulk Lorentz factor $Γ_{\rm ph}$ of the outflow. The derived $Γ_{\rm ph}$ range from $50$ to $150$ and a relation of $Γ_{\rm ph}$ to the thermal emission luminosity is found. It is consistent with the $Γ_0-L_{\rm iso}$ relation that are derived for the prompt gamma-ray emission. We discuss the physical implications of these results within the content of jet composition and radiation mechanism of GRBs and X-ray flares.
