摘要:

GRB 190114 C是一个发生在本地宇宙(z=0.425)的明亮爆发。多亏了MAGIC,这是第一次探测到TeV能量的伽马射线暴(GRB)。通过对吸收X射线柱密度的研究,我们表征了宿主星系周围介质的性质。结合Swift、XMM-牛顿和NuSTAR的观测,我们发现GRB X射线谱的特征是高柱密度,远远超过预期的银河系值,并在~ $10^5$ s附近降低了~2倍。这种变化在伽玛暴中并不常见。最直接的解释的变化方面的光致电离的环境介质是不能够占减少在这样晚的时候,当源通量是不太强烈。相反,我们将这种减少解释为由于聚集的吸收体,沿着视线更密集,并被低密度气体包围。在TeV的GRB 190114 C被发现后,另外两个GRB也被发现。它们都具有很高的固有柱密度值,并且也有柱密度降低的迹象。我们推测,一个高的本地柱密度可能是一个共同的成分TeV检测到的伽玛暴。

英文摘要:

GRB 190114C was a bright burst that occurred in the local Universe (z=0.425). It was the first gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever detected at TeV energies, thanks to MAGIC. We characterize the ambient medium properties of the host galaxy through the study of the absorbing X-ray column density. Joining Swift, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR observations, we find that the GRB X-ray spectrum is characterized by a high column density that is well in excess of the expected Milky Way value and decreases, by a factor of ~2, around ~$10^5$ s. Such a variability is not common in GRBs. The most straightforward interpretation of the variability in terms of photoionization of the ambient medium is not able to account for the decrease at such late times, when the source flux is less intense. Instead, we interpret the decrease as due to a clumped absorber, denser along the line of sight and surrounded by lower-density gas. After the detection at TeV energies of GRB 190114C, two other GRBs were promptly detected. They share a high value of the intrinsic column density and there are hints for a decrease of the column density, too. We speculate that a high local column density might be a common ingredient for TeV-detected GRBs.
