Energetics - Spectral correlations vs the BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts population
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently proposed correlations between the energetics of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) and their spectral properties, namely the peak energy of their prompt emission, are found to account for the observed fluence distribution of all ‘bright’ BATSE GRB. Furthermore for an intrinsic GRB peak energy distribution extending toward lower energies with respect to that characterizing bright GRB, such correlations allow to reproduce the fluence distribution of the whole BATSE long GRB population. We discuss the constraints that such analysis imposes on the shape of the peak energy distribution, the opening angle distribution and the tightness of such correlations.

Energetics of Gamma Ray Bursts
We determine the distribution of total energy emitted by gamma-ray bursts for bursts with fluences and distance information. Our core sample consists of eight bursts with BATSE spectra and spectroscopic redshifts. We extend this sample by adding four bursts with BATSE spectra and host galaxy R magnitudes. From these R magnitudes we calculate a redshift probability distribution; this method requ...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Signatures and Flux Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with a Broad Luminosity Distribution
The cosmological expansion cannot produce the reported correlations of the gamma-ray burst timescale and spectral energy with peak flux if the burst model reproduces the BATSE 3B peak-flux distribution for a non-evolving burst source density. The required ratios of time dilation and redshift factors are only produced by monoluminous models at peak fluxes below the BATSE threshold, and they are ...
متن کاملShort versus Long Gamma–Ray Bursts: spectra, energetics, and luminosities
We compare the spectral properties of 79 short and 79 long Gamma–Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE and selected with the same limiting peak flux. Short GRBs have a low–energy spectral component harder and a peak energy slightly higher than long GRBs, but no difference is found when comparing short GRB spectra with those of the first 1–2 sec emission of long GRBs. These results confirm earlier...
متن کاملCosmologi al impli ations of Gamma Ray Bursts
The discovery that the bolometric energetics (and/or peak luminosity) of Gamma Ray Bursts correlates with their spectral properties has allowed to standardize the burst energetics to such a degree to enable their use for constraining the cosmological parameters, in the same way as SN Ia. With respect to SN Ia, there is the advantage of having sources free from extinction problems, and easily de...
متن کامل(nasa-tm-111180) the Effects of N96-17700 Pure Density Evolution on the Brightness Distribution of Cosmological Gamma-ray Bursts
In this work, we explore the effects of burst rate density evolution on the observed brightness distribution of cosmological gamma-ray bursts. Although the brightness distribution of gamma-ray bursts observed by the BATSE experiment has been shown to be consistent with a nonevolving source population observed to redshifts of order unity, evolution of some form is likely to be present in the gam...
