摘要:

二十多年来,伽马射线暴(GRB)的瞬时辐射光谱一直用平滑拐折幂律(Band函数)建模,且研究发现光谱静止系峰值能量$E_p$与总各向同性等效光度$L_{iso}$之间存在紧密的正相关关系,即所谓的米谷(Yonetoku)关系。但近期更多研究表明,许多瞬时辐射光谱能用同步辐射模型很好地描述,因此与Band函数存在显著偏差。本研究中,我们检验了更适配的光谱模型(如来自非热电子的理想化同步辐射光谱)对米谷关系的影响,以及该关系与物理参数的关联。我们选取了费米/伽马射线暴监测器(Fermi/GBM)观测到的、已测量红移且伴有高能(>30 MeV)观测数据的伽马射线暴,开展光谱分析并将其分为两个样本:单区间样本,采用每个伽马射线暴的光变曲线峰值光谱;多区间样本,对13个明亮暴的整个持续过程进行时间分辨光谱分析。我们观测到,快冷却状态下($ν_m/ν_c\gg1$)同步辐射光谱的$E_p$通常大于Band函数给出的对应值。因此,除了处于中间冷却状态($1<ν_m/ν_c<3$,即峰值能量与拐折能量非常接近)的伽马射线暴外,我们的样本中未发现任何$E_p-L_{iso}$相关关系。相反,我们在两个样本中都发现了静止系冷却频率$ν_{c,z}$与$L_{iso}$之间存在一种新的紧密相关关系:$ν_{c,z} \propto L_{iso}^{(0.53 \pm 0.06)}$。这些结果表明,假设瞬时辐射光谱由同步辐射产生,那么物理关联存在于$ν_{c,z}$与$L_{iso}$之间。用Band函数拟合本征同步辐射光谱得到的峰值能量值为$E_{p,z}^{Band} \sim ν_{c,z}$。

英文摘要:

For over two decades, gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission spectra were modelled with smoothly-broken power laws (Band function), and a positive and tight correlation between the spectral rest-frame peak energy $E_p$ and the total isotropic-equivalent luminosity $L_{iso}$ was found, constituting the so-called Yonetoku relation. However, more recent studies show that many prompt emission spectra are well described by the synchrotron radiation model, hence significantly deviating from the Band function. In this work, we test the impact of a more suited spectral model such as an idealized synchrotron spectrum from non-thermal electrons on the Yonetoku relation and its connection with physical parameters. We select GRBs with measured redshift observed by Fermi/GBM together with high energy observations (>30 MeV), and perform spectral analysis dividing them in two samples: the single-bin sample, using the light curve peak spectrum of each GRB, and the multiple-bins sample, where we explore the whole duration of 13 bright bursts with time-resolved spectral analysis. We observed that the $E_p$ of synchrotron spectra in fast-cooling regime ($ν_m/ν_c\gg1$) is generally larger than the one provided by the Band function. For this reason, we do not find any $E_p-L_{iso}$ correlation in our samples except for the GRBs in an intermediate-cooling regime ($1<ν_m/ν_c<3$), namely where peak and break energies are very close. We instead find in both our samples a new tight correlation between the rest-frame cooling frequency $ν_{c,z}$ and $L_{iso}$: $ν_{c,z} \propto L_{iso}^{(0.53 \pm 0.06)}$. These results suggest that, assuming that prompt emission spectra are produced by synchrotron radiation, the physical relation is between $ν_{c,z}$ and $L_{iso}$. The fit of the Band function to an intrinsic synchrotron spectrum returns peak energy values $E_{p,z}^{Band} \sim ν_{c,z}$.
