Abstract

In the last 3000 yr, one significant and rapid increase in the concentration of 14C in tree rings was observed; it corresponds to a gamma-ray energy input of 7x10^24 erg at Earth within up to one year in AD 774/5 (Miyake et al. 2012). A normal supernova and a solar or stellar flare are unlikely as cause (Miyake et al. 2012), so that the source remained unknown. Here, we show that a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) in our Galaxy is consistent with all observables: Such an event is sufficiently short and provides the necessary energy in the relevant spectral range of $\gamma$-rays. Its spectral hardness is consistent with the differential production rates of 14C and 10Be as observed. The absence of reports about a historic sighting of a supernova in AD 774/5 or a present-day supernova remnant are also consistent with a short GRB. We estimate the distance towards this short GRB to be ~ 1 to 4 kpc - sufficiently far away, so that no extinction event on Earth was triggered. This is the first evidence for a short GRB in our Galaxy.

Lei, Hai-Dong 2011 平降阶段的星风模型

主要内容:
星风环境下,减速时标以内时平降阶段,拐折是减速时标。

(这个也可以用来限制洛伦兹因子哦~ 就和光学的peak是一样的,不过要是发现有几个光学的peak和这个时标不一致就麻烦了,不过也可以说光学的是别的来源。)

Abstract

We investigate the shallow decay phase of an early x-ray afterglow in gamma-ray bursts discovered by Swift, and suggest that both the shallow decay phase and the normal phase are from external shock in a wind environment, while the transferring time is the deceleration time. We apply this model to GRBs 050319 and 081008, and find that they can be explained by choosing a proper set of parameters.

伽马暴光变的功率密度谱

有人做了GRB 080319B等的光变曲线的功率密度谱( http://grbcn.blogspot.com/2012/02/bhatt-nilay-2011.html ),虽然没看出什么周期性来,但应该也能看出什么东西吧。

如果把所有的暴都放在一起,是不是可以得到什么伽马暴的共性呢?

Nicuesa Guelbenzu, A. 2012 GRB090510的晚期余辉观测

主要内容:


精彩摘抄:

X射线和UVOT的观测。从拐折的时间上来看,很有可能第一个拐折是jet break,而第二个是频率穿过,穿过之后二者的时间指数就一样了,因为它们在同一个频率段。文章中并没有提到这个。

Abstract

The discovery of the short GRB 090510 has raised considerable attention mainly because it had a bright optical afterglow and it is among the most energetic events detected so far within the entire GRB population. The afterglow was observed with swift/UVOT and swift/XRT and evidence of a jet break around 1.5 ks after the burst has been reported in the literature, implying that after this break the optical and X-ray light curve should fade with the same decay slope. As noted by several authors, the post-break decay slope seen in the UVOT data is much shallower than the steep decay in the X-ray band, pointing to an excess of optical flux at late times. We reduced and analyzed new afterglow light-curve data obtained with the multichannel imager GROND. Based on the densely sampled data set obtained with GROND, we find that the optical afterglow of GRB 090510 did indeed enter a steep decay phase starting around 22 ks after the burst. During this time the GROND optical light curve is achromatic, and its slope is identical to the slope of the X-ray data. In combination with the UVOT data this implies that a second break must have occurred in the optical light curve around 22 ks post burst, which, however, has no obvious counterpart in the X-ray band, contradicting the interpretation that this could be another jet break. The GROND data provide the missing piece of evidence that the optical afterglow of GRB 090510 did follow a post-jet break evolution at late times.

伽马暴作为高能辐射的来源

记得Tsvi他们曾经做过超新星作为超高能辐射的来源的,它们只能来自于银河系,或者较近的其它星系。但是为什么不能是伽马暴呢?

不过很可能不行,不然他们更自然地应该认为是伽马暴而不是超新星。(可能是爆发率的问题,银河系一百万年才有一次伽马暴,而超新星的频率更高。)

Castro Cerón 2010 伽马暴宿主星系的质量和SFR

主要内容:
说宿主星系都是低质量的star forming system,比field galaxy的平均质量都小。SFR,甚至specific star formation rate都比别人低。

为什么呢?
我觉得其它高SFR的星系应该有更多的伽马暴。原因会不会是高SSFR的星系的尘埃比较多,伽马射线出不来呢?

"the dust-uncorrected UV SFR"和做了修正的区别大吗?这里的SFR的范围是10-2 M sun yr-1 < SFR < 10 M sun yr-1. 但是看另一篇文章,却是(0.03,300)!见ADS 2011ApJ...735L...8K, 或者:2010AJ....140.1557L

Abstract

We analyze Spitzer images of 30 long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. We estimate their total stellar masses (Msstarf) based on the rest-frame K-band luminosities (L_{K_{rest}}) and constrain their star formation rates (SFRs; not corrected for dust extinction) based on the rest-frame UV continua. Further, we compute a mean M_⋆ /L_{K_{rest}} = 0.45 Msun/L sun. We find that the hosts are low M sstarf, star-forming systems. The median M sstarf in our sample (langM sstarfrang = 109.7 M sun) is lower than that of "field" galaxies (e.g., Gemini Deep Deep Survey). The range spanned by M sstarf is 107 Msun < M sstarf < 1011 M sun, while the range spanned by the dust-uncorrected UV SFR is 10-2 M sun yr-1 < SFR < 10 M sun yr-1. There is no evidence for intrinsic evolution in the distribution of M sstarf with redshift. We show that extinction by dust must be present in at least 25% of the GRB hosts in our sample and suggest that this is a way to reconcile our finding of a relatively lower UV-based, specific SFR (phi ≡ SFR/M sstarf) with previous claims that GRBs have some of the highest phi values. We also examine the effect that the inability to resolve the star-forming regions in the hosts has on phi.This work is based in part on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with NASA.

快速观测早期光学余辉的办法


利用前兆。

也就是说在伽马暴本身还没有触发的时候,就触发定位以及地面的fellow up观测。虽然会有一些以为是前兆,后面并没有跟着暴。但是总有一些是暴的,这样就观测到了暴同时的光学辐射。

不过如果前兆就是暴本身的一部分的话,那也仅仅是提早了观测时间,相当于观测到了一个更长的暴的光学余辉。

Czerny 2010 BATSE的极短暴

主要内容:
短于0.1秒的暴。但是从空间分布等来看,可能也就是一般的短暴。

也许可以分析一下它们的spectral time lag,因为他们时标比较短,比较容易分辨。

Abstract

We discuss a very peculiar subgroup of gamma-ray bursts among the BATSE sources. These bursts are very short ($T_{90} \le $0.1 s), hard, and came predominantly from a restricted direction of the sky (close to the Galactic anti-center). We analyze their arrival times and possible correlations, as well as the profiles of individual bursts. We find no peculiarities in the arrival times of Very Short Bursts (VSBs) despite their highly non-uniform spatial distribution. There is no dependence in the burst shapes on location. Bursts coming both from the burst-enhancement Galactic Anticenter region and from all other directions show considerable dispersion in their rise and fall times. Significant fraction of VSBs have multiple peaks despite their extremely short duration. Burst time properties are most likely to be consistent with two origin mechanisms: either with binary NS-NS mergers with low total masses passing through a phase of hypermassive neutron star, or with evaporation of the primordial black holes in the scenario of no photosphere formation.

1. 一共有8个想080513这样的, 可能是短暴加一个tail;
2. 暴本身阶段的低频端的硬谱可能来自电子的分布;
3.说080916C的同步辐射模型是不行的

1. 统计上, pulse的宽度 W~E_p^-0.4~z^0.4
2. 谱形上, cutoff power law的比Band的还多
3. 观测上, Swift的高红移的暴并没有更软 (这个可能说明E_p比较大, 即使红移比较高, 还是没看到peak的地方; 或者谱整个是一个比较好的幂律, 这样也不会看到变软; 或者, 当然最直接的解释应该是高红移的暴本身比较硬.)
4. 他们Swift在准备 sub-threshold, 就是不要那么强的伽玛光子信号就触发. 这样可以看到更多弱暴, 虽然会有很多误触发.
