Constraints on equivalence principle violation from gamma ray bursts

چکیده
Theories of gravity that obey the Weak Equivalence Principle have same Parametrised Post-Newtonian parameter $\gamma$ for all particles at energies. The large Shapiro time delays extragalactic sources allow us to put tight constraints on differences in between photons different frequencies from spectral lag data, since a non-zero $\Delta \gamma$ would result frequency-dependent arrival time. majority previous assumed delay is dominated by few local massive objects, although this poor approximation distant sources. In work we consider cosmological context these developing source-by-source, Monte Carlo-based forward model combining constrained realisations density field using Bayesian origin reconstruction galaxies algorithm with unconstrained large-scale modes. Propagating uncertainties and marginalising over an empirical describing other contributions delay, use data Gamma Ray Bursts BATSE satellite constrain \gamma < 2.1 \times 10^{-15}$ $1 \sigma$ confidence photon energies $25 {\rm \, keV}$ $325 keV}$.

Robust Limits on Lorentz Violation from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We constrain the possibility of a non-trivial refractive index in free space corresponding to an energy-dependent velocity of light: c(E) ≃ c0(1 − E/M), where M is a mass scale that might represent effect of quantum-gravitational space-time foam, using the arrival times of sharp features observed in the intensities of radiation with different energies from a large sample of gamma-ray bursters (...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts: Astronomical Constraints
After presenting a short history of gamma-ray burst (GRB) studies, we discuss the current constraints on GRB models which follows from astronomical observations. We concentrate on the energetics of the GRBs with known redshifts and the association of the well-localized GRBs with star forming regions in remote galaxies. We also discuss implications of the observed GRB rate. Arguments are given f...
متن کاملConstraints on relativity violations from gamma-ray bursts.
Tiny violations of the Lorentz symmetry of relativity and the associated discrete CPT symmetry could emerge in a consistent theory of quantum gravity such as string theory. Recent evidence for linear polarization in gamma-ray bursts improves existing sensitivities to Lorentz and CPT violation involving photons by factors ranging from ten to a million.
متن کاملConstraints on Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from Gamma-ray Bursts
The Milagro Gamma-Ray Observatory employs a water Cerenkov detector to observe extensive air showers produced by high-energy particles interacting in the Earth’s atmosphere. Milagro has a wide field of view and high duty cycle, monitoring the northern sky almost continuously in the 100 GeV to 100 TeVenergy range. Milagro is thus uniquely capable of searching for very high energy emission from g...
