Intensity Distribution and Luminosity Function of the Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
Using the sample of long Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by Swift-BAT before June 2007, we measure the cumulative distribution of the peak photon fluxes (logN–logP ) of the Swift bursts. Compared with the BATSE sample, we find that the two distributions are consistent after correcting the band pass difference, suggesting that the two instruments are sampling the same population of bursts. We a...
متن کاملSpectral Lags and the Lag-Luminosity Relation: An Investigation with Swift BAT Gamma-ray Bursts
Spectral lag, the time difference between the arrival of high-energy and low energy photons, is a common feature in Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). Norris et al. 2000 reported a correlation between the spectral lag and the isotropic peak luminosity of GRBs based on a limited sample. More recently, a number of authors have provided further support for this correlation using arbitrary energy bands of va...
متن کاملThe true redshift distribution of Pre-SWIFT gamma-ray bursts
SWIFT bursts appear to be more distant than previous bursts. We present the Boer & Gendre relation that link redshift and afterglow luminosities. Taking advantage of the XMMNewton, Chandra and BeppoSAX catalogs, and using this relation, we have investigated the redshift distribution of GRBs. We find that XMM burst sources with unknown redshift appear to be more distant than those with a known r...
متن کاملLow Luminosity Gamma-ray Bursts as a Unique Population: Luminosity Function, Local Rate, and Beaming Factor
The newly discovered GRB 060218 is a nearby event with low luminosity, resembling GRBs 980425 and 031203. The fact that it was discovered by Swift slightly over 1-year operation suggests that the GRB rate of these low luminosity GRBs (LL-GRBs) should be much higher than previous expected, and that they form a distinct new class of GRBs with respect to the conventional high luminosity GRBs (HL-G...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts in the Swift Era
With its rapid-response capability and multiwavelength complement of instruments, the Swift satellite has transformed our physical understanding of γ-ray bursts (GRBs). Providing highquality observations of hundreds of bursts, and facilitating a wide range of follow-up observations within seconds of each event, Swift has revealed an unforeseen richness in observed burst properties, shed light o...
