Redshifts and Luminosities for 112 Gamma Ray Bursts
Two different luminosity indicators have recently been proposed for Gamma Ray Bursts that use gamma-ray observations alone. They relate the burst luminosity (L) with the time lag between peaks in hard and soft energies (τlag), and the spikiness or variability of the burst’s light curve (V ). These relations are currently justified and calibrated with only 6 or 7 bursts with known red shifts. We...
متن کاملGamma photometric redshifts for long gamma-ray bursts
It is known that the soft tail of the gamma-ray bursts’ spectra show excesses from the exact power-law dependence. In this article we show that this departure can be detected in the peak flux ratios of different BATSE DISCSC energy channels. This effect allows to estimate the redshift of the bright long gamma-ray bursts in the BATSE Catalog. A verification of these redshifts is obtained for the...
متن کاملLuminosities and Space Densities of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
Using the Euclidean value of < V/Vmax > as a cosmological distance indicator, we derive the isotropic-equivalent characteristic peak luminosity of gamma-ray bursts both longer and shorter than 2 s. The short bursts have essentially the same characteristic peak luminosity of 0.6 × 10 erg (0.064s) as do the long bursts. This may apply also to bursts with durations less than 0.25 s. The local spac...
متن کاملLuminosities and Space Densities of Gamma-Ray Bursts
We use a homogeneous sample of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) extracted from 5.9 years of BATSE DISCLA data (Schmidt 1999) and a variety of assumed broken power-law luminosity functions to derive GRB luminosities and space densities. Luminosity functions that are narrow or exhibit no density evolution produce expected redshift distributions that are incompatible with the observation of a GRB redshift o...
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...
