AI 中文摘要
伽马射线暴(GRB)中X射线坪阶段的起源仍是一个未解决的问题。特别是,具有不同时间形态(即上升、平坦或衰减坪)的GRB是否源于共同的潜在机制尚不清楚。尽管磁星能量注入是一个主要解释,但先前研究主要逐暴推断磁星属性,未在总体水平上测试该模型。本文在条件泊松点过程框架内,对185个有X射线坪的长GRB均匀样本进行了磁星参数的首次分层总体推断。发现观测到的坪总体能被物理上合理的磁星总体很好地再现。推断的参数分布在具有不同坪形态的子类之间没有强烈的统计分离。然而,所有子类都显示出相当大的固有光度散射,$\sigma_{L,\rm int}\sim0.5$ - 1.0 dex,而固有持续时间散射仍然小得多。结果为GRB X射线坪的磁星解释提供了总体水平测试,表明观测到的坪形态多样性不需要不同的磁星总体。
英文摘要
The origin of the X-ray plateau phase in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remains an open problem. In particular, it is unclear whether GRBs with different temporal morphologies (i.e., with a rising, flat, or decaying plateau) arise from a common underlying mechanism. Although magnetar energy injection is a leading explanation, previous studies have primarily inferred magnetar properties on a burst-by-burst basis and have not tested the model at the population level. Here we perform the first hierarchical population inference of magnetar parameters for a uniform sample of 185 long GRBs with X-ray plateaus within a conditional Poisson point-process framework. It is found that the observed plateau population is well reproduced by physically plausible magnetar populations. The inferred parameter distributions show no strong statistical separation among subclasses with different plateau morphologies. Nevertheless, all subclasses show a substantial intrinsic luminosity scatter, $σ_{L,\rm int}\sim0.5$--1.0 dex, whereas the intrinsic duration scatter remains considerably smaller. The results provide a population-level test of the magnetar interpretation of GRB X-ray plateaus, showing that the observed diversity of plateau morphologies does not require distinct magnetar populations.
