摘要:

伽马射线暴宿主(GRBH)是研究尘埃消光特性及其对遥远星系整体辐射影响的理想目标。在GRB余辉视线上测量了尘埃消光曲线,并通过对宿主星系光谱能量分布(SED)的分析,获得了尘埃对恒星光的全球衰减。我们选择了一个样本的30 GRB的消光曲线沿GRB余辉视线(l.o.s)的测量在休息帧紫外线(UV)的光学和我们分析的消光曲线作为宿主星系属性的函数的属性。从这30个伽玛暴中,我们选择了7个GRBH具有良好的休息帧UV近红外光谱覆盖的主机。通过用CIGALE SED拟合代码拟合GRBH样品的SED来导出衰减曲线。利用H $_α$光度计计算了不同的恒星形成历史,并得到了恒星形成率(SFR)。最熄灭的GRB优先在更大质量的宿主中发现,并且UV隆起优先在最熄灭的GRB l.o.s.中发现。七个宿主星系中有五个最适合最近的恒星形成爆发,导致恒星质量估计比以前发现的要低。宿主星系中的平均衰减约为GRB l.o.s.消光量的70%。我们发现GRBH的衰减曲线有很大的变化,紫外线的斜率可以与消光曲线的斜率相似,甚至更平坦,甚至更陡峭。我们发现,平坦(陡峭)的衰减曲线中发现的最高(最低)SFR和恒星质量的星系。我们的结果与辐射转移模拟的比较导致一个非常clupholism一半的GRBH和各种尘埃星的几何形状的样品的第二个一半的尘埃和恒星的均匀分布。

英文摘要:

The gamma-ray bursts hosts (GRBHs) are excellent targets to study the extinction properties of dust and its effects on the global emission of distant galaxies. The dust extinction curve is measured along the GRB afterglow line of sight and the analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the host galaxy gives access to the global dust attenuation of the stellar light. We selected a sample of 30 GRBs for which the extinction curve along the GRB afterglow line-of-sight (l.o.s) is measured in the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) up to optical and we analysed the properties of the extinction curve as a function of the host galaxy properties. From these 30 GRBs, we selected seven GRBHs with a good rest-frame UV to near infra-red spectral coverage for the host. The attenuation curve was derived by fitting the SEDs of the GRBH sample with the CIGALE SED fitting code. Different star formation histories were studied to recover the star formation rates (SFR) derived using H$_α$ luminosities. The most extinguished GRBs are preferentially found in the more massive hosts and the UV bump is preferentially found in the most extinguished GRB l.o.s. Five out of seven hosts are best fitted with a recent burst of star formation, leading to lower stellar mass estimates than previously found. The average attenuation in the host galaxies is about 70% of the amount of extinction along the GRB l.o.s. We find a great variety in the derived attenuation curves of GRBHs, the UV slope can be similar, flatter or even steeper than the extinction curve slope. We find that the flatter (steeper) attenuation curves are found in galaxies with the highest (lowest) SFR and stellar masses. The comparison of our results with radiative transfer simulations leads to a uniform distribution of dust and stars in a very clumpy ISM for half the GRBHs and various dust-stars geometries for the second half of the sample.
