AI中文摘要:
伽马射线暴230812B是一个明亮的长持续时间伽马射线暴,具有明亮、持久的余辉,并且在瞬时阶段有AstroSat/CZTI偏振测量,这使得能够对其瞬时光谱演化、偏振和宽带余辉进行联合研究。对瞬时发射的时间分辨光谱显示,在上升阶段,低能Band函数指数超过同步辐射死亡线,这有利于存在额外的热成分。在稍后的时间,从$T_0 + 2$秒到$T_0 + 32$秒,瞬时光谱主要与非热发射一致。对300 - 600 keV波段瞬时发射的偏振分析在1σ水平上给出了偏振分数$\Pi \gtrsim 50\%$的边际下限。对余辉的长时间X射线监测在观测基线内未显示出喷流中断。多波长余辉建模支持一个宽喷流,推断的半张开角为$\theta_j = 15^{+6}_{-4}$度,观测视角为$\theta_v = 0.9^{+1.8}_{-0.6}$度。推断的爆发周密度较低,$n_0 = 1.2^{+0.3}_{-0.1}\times10^{-4}\,\textrm{cm}^{-3}$,喷流的各向同性等效动能为$E_{{\rm k}, iso} = 4.0^{+1.5}_{-0.8} \times 10^{53}$尔格。总体而言,瞬时光谱演化有利于早期有热贡献,随后是后期由非热发射主导。晚期瞬时阶段的偏振约束与同步辐射发射一致,尽管需要更高显著性的偏振测量来有力地约束磁场几何形状和光球发射的相对贡献。
英文摘要:
GRB 230812B is a bright long-duration GRB with a luminous, long-lived afterglow and an AstroSat/CZTI polarization measurement during the prompt phase, enabling a joint study of its prompt spectral evolution, polarization, and broadband afterglow. Time-resolved spectroscopy of the prompt emission shows that during the rising phase, the low-energy Band-function index exceeds the synchrotron line of death, favoring the presence of an additional thermal component. At later times, from $T_0+2$ s to $T_0+32$ s, the prompt spectra are consistent with predominantly non-thermal emission. Polarization analysis of the prompt emission in the $300$-$600$ keV band yields a marginal lower limit on the polarization fraction of $Π\gtrsim 50\%$ at the $1σ$ level. The long X-ray monitoring of the afterglow shows no jet break over the observed baseline. Multiwavelength afterglow modeling favors a wide jet with an inferred half-opening angle of $θ_j = 15^{+6}_{-4}$ degrees observed close to the jet axis with a viewing angle of $θ_v = 0.9^{+1.8}_{-0.6}$ degrees. The inferred circumburst density is low, $n_0 = 1.2^{+0.3}_{-0.1}\times10^{-4}\,\textrm{cm}^{-3}$, and the isotropic-equivalent kinetic energy of the jet is $E_{{\rm k}, iso} = 4.0^{+1.5}_{-0.8} \times 10^{53}$ erg. Taken together, the prompt spectral evolution favors an early phase with a thermal contribution followed by a later phase dominated by non-thermal emission. The polarization constraint in the late prompt phase is consistent with synchrotron emission, although a higher-significance polarization measurement will be required to robustly constrain the magnetic-field geometry and the relative contribution of photospheric emission.
