Peak Energy–Isotropic Energy Relation in the Off-Axis Gamma-Ray Burst Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a simple uniform jet model of prompt emissions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we reproduce the observed peak energy–isotropic energy relation. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the low isotropic energy part of the relation is dominated by events viewed from off-axis directions, and the number of the off-axis events is about one-third of the on-axis emissions. We also compute the observed event rates of the GRBs, the X-ray-rich GRBs, and the X-ray flashes detected by HETE-2, and we find that they are similar.

Extremely Low Isotropic Gamma Ray Energy and the Low Peak Energy of GRB 980425 in the off - axis jet model with the intrinsically high peak energy
Using a simple off-axis jet model of GRBs, we can reproduce the observed unusual properties of the prompt emission of GRB 980425, such as the extremely low isotropic equivalent γ-ray energy, the low peak energy, the high fluence ratio, and the long spectral lag when the jet with the standard energy of ∼ 10 ergs and the opening half-angle of 10 . ∆θ . 30 is seen from the off-axis viewing angle θ...

متن کاملAre there cosmological evolution trends on Gamma-Ray Burst features?
The variability of gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to be correlated with its absolute peak luminosity, and this relation had been used to derive an estimate of the redshifts of GRBs. Recently Amati et al. presented the results of spectral and energetic properties of several GRBs with known redshifts. Here we analyse the properties of two group GRBs, one group with known redshift from afterglow...

متن کاملConnection between Energy-dependent Lags and Lorentz Factor in Gamma-ray Bursts
We suggest a connection between the pulse paradigm at gamma-ray energies and the recently demonstrated luminosity distribution in gamma-ray bursts: Spectral evolution of pulse structures is anticorrelated with quantities which may be expected to reflect the bulk relativistic Lorentz factor, Γ, and therefore intrinsic luminosity. We establish this relationship in two important burst samples usin...
