Log-Normal Distributions in Cygnus X-1: Possible Physical Link with Gamma-Ray Bursts and Blazars
Prompted by recent discoveries of log-normal distributions in gamma-ray/X-ray temporal variabilities of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and blazars, we re-examine the X-ray variability of Cygnus X-1 in the hard/low state using Ginga data in 1990. It was previously reported that the distributions of the time intervals between X-ray shots (flares) deviated from the Poisson distributions at short time int...
متن کاملA Simple Two-Parameter Characterization of Gamma-Ray Burst Time Histories
A simple scheme delineates Long GRBs with similar time histories using the Internal Luminosity Function power-law index and the spectral lag. Several generalizations are made about time history morphologies: 1) GRBs with long spectral lags contain fewer pulses that are broader than those found in bursts with short spectral lags, 2) short-lag bursts with small ILF power-law indices have many nar...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst Spectra and Time Histories From 2 to 400 keV
The Gamma-Ray burst detector on Ginga consisted of a proportional counter to observe the x-rays and a scintillation counter to observe the gamma-rays. It was ideally suited to study the x-rays associated with gammaray bursts (GRBs). Ginga detected ∼ 120 GRBs and 22 of them had sufficient statistics to determine spectra from 2 to 400 keV. Although the Ginga and BATSE trigger criteria were very s...
متن کاملSelection effects shaping the Gamma Ray Burst redshift distributions
Aims. Long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are associated to the death of massive stars and have been discovered, so far, up to z=6.29. Therefore, they hold the promise of probing star-formation and metal enrichment up to very high redshifts. However, the present GRB samples with redshift determinations are largely incomplete, and therefore a careful analysis of selection effects plaguing these samples...
متن کاملFormation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach
There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
