A Bayesian Inference Framework for Gamma-ray Burst Afterglow Properties

چکیده
In the field of multi-messenger astronomy, Bayesian inference is commonly adopted to compare compatibility models given observed data. However, describe a physical system like neutron star mergers and their associated gamma-ray burst (GRB) events, usually more than ten parameters are incorporated in model. With such complex model, likelihood evaluation for each Monte Carlo sampling point becomes massive task requires significant amount computational power. this work, we perform quick parameter estimation on simulated GRB X-ray light curves using an interpolated This achieved by generating grid afterglow across space replacing with simple interpolation function high-dimensional that stores all curves. framework, compared original method, leads $\sim$90$\times$ speedup per estimation. It will allow us explore different jet enable fast model comparison future.

The Onset of Gamma-ray Burst Afterglow
Wediscuss the reference time t0 of afterglow light curves in the context of the standard internal-external shockmodel. The decay index of early afterglow is very sensitive to the reference time one chooses. In order to understand the nature of early afterglow, it is essential to take a correct reference time. Our simple analytic model provides a framework for understanding special relativistic ...

متن کاملEvidences for two Gamma - Ray Burst afterglow emission regimes
We applied cosmological and absorption corrections to the X-ray and optical afterglow fluxes of a sample of Gamma-Ray Burst sources of known distance. We find a good correlation in X-rays and that the GRBs in our sample form two well defined classes. We tentatively interpret them as radiative and adiabatic afterglow behaviours in the framework of the fireball model for GRBs. We do not observe t...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst afterglow scaling coefficients for general density profiles
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are well described by synchrotron emission originating from the interaction between a relativistic blast wave and the external medium surrounding the GRB progenitor. We introduce a code to reconstruct spectra and light curves from arbitrary fluid configurations, making it especially suited to study the effects of fluid flows beyond those that can be described us...
متن کاملEarly optical polarization of a gamma-ray burst afterglow.
We report the optical polarization of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow, obtained 203 seconds after the initial burst of gamma-rays from GRB 060418, using a ring polarimeter on the robotic Liverpool Telescope. Our robust (2sigma) upper limit on the percentage of polarization, less than 8%, coincides with the fireball deceleration time at the onset of the afterglow. The combination of the rate o...
