GRB 170817A was confirmed to be associated with GW170817, which was produced by a neutron star - neutron star merger. It indicates that at least some short gamma-ray bursts come from binary neutron star mergers. Theoretically, it is widely accepted that short gamma-ray bursts can be produced by two distinctly different mechanisms, binary neutron star mergers and neutron star - black hole mergers. These two kinds of bursts should be different observationally due to their different trigger mechanisms. Motivated by this idea, we collect a universal data set constituted of 51 short gamma-ray bursts observed by Swift/BAT, among which 14 events have extended emission component. We study the observational features of these 51 events statistically. It is found that our samples consist of two distinct groups. They clearly show a bimodal distribution when their peak photon fluxes at 15–150 keV band are plotted against the corresponding fluences. Most interestingly, all the 14 short bursts with extended emission lie in a particular region of this plot. When the fluences are plotted against the burst durations, short bursts with extended emission again tend to concentrate in the long duration segment. These features strongly indicate that short gamma-ray bursts really may come from two distinct types of progenitors. We argue that those short gamma-ray bursts with extended emission come from the coalescence of neutron stars, while the short gamma-ray bursts without extended emission come from neutron star - black hole mergers. 相似文献

Statistical analysis of the relationship between type II radio bursts appearing in the metric (m) and decameter-to-hectometer
(DH) wavelength ranges is presented. The associated X-ray flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are also reported. The
sample is divided into two classes using the frequency-drift plots: Class I, representing those events where DH-type-II bursts
are not continuation of m-type-II bursts and Class II, where the DH-type-II bursts are extensions of m-type-II bursts. Our
study consists of three steps: i) comparison of characteristics of the Class I and II events; ii) correlation of m-type-II and DH-type-II burst characteristics with X-ray flare properties and iii) correlation of m-type-II and DH-type-II burst characteristics with CME properties. We have found no clear correlation between
properties of m-type-II bursts and DH-type-II bursts. For example, there is no correlation between drift rates of m-type-II
bursts and DH-type-II bursts. Similarly there is no correlation between their starting frequencies. In Class I events we found
correlations between X-ray flare characteristics and properties of m-type-II bursts and there is no correlation between flare
parameters and DH-type-II bursts. On the other hand, the correlation between CME parameters and m-type-II bursts is very weak,
but it is good for CME parameters and DH-type-II bursts. These results indicate that Class I m-type-II bursts are related
to the energy releases in flares, whereas DH-type-II bursts tend to be related to CMEs. On the contrary, for Class II events
in the case of m-type-II and DH-type-II bursts we have found no clear correlation between both flare and CMEs. 相似文献

An analysis of solar radio bursts with temporal fine structure (TFS) at 5730 MHz in relation to the magnetic configuration
of the corresponding active regions (AR) is presented. We found that the occurrence of TFS bursts increases with increasing
complexity of the AR's magnetic configuration. The degree of polarization of TFS bursts varies over a wide range. Most of
these fast bursts with a high degree of polarization were observed in active regions with a simple magnetic configuration β.
Most of the unpolarized fast bursts were observed in active regions with the most complicated configuration βγδ. Because bursts
that are polarized in different modes have different displacements of position with respect to that of associated microwave
bursts, we conclude that there are at least two types of TFS bursts at 5730 MHz. We think that fast bursts that are polarized
in the ordinary mode are due to microwave type III bursts. 相似文献

We present a statistical study of the characteristics of type-II radio bursts observed in the metric (m) and deca-hectometer
(DH) wavelength range during 1997–2008. The collected events are divided into two groups: Group I contains the events of m-type-II
bursts with starting frequency ≥ 100 MHz, and group II contains the events with starting frequency of m-type-II radio bursts
< 100 MHz. We have analyzed both samples considering three different aspects: i) statistical properties of type-II bursts, ii) statistical properties of flares and CMEs associated with type-II bursts, and iii) time delays between type-II bursts, flares, and CMEs. We find significant differences in the properties of m-type-II bursts
in duration, bandwidth, drift rate, shock speed and delay between m- and DH-type-II bursts. From the timing analysis we found
that the majority of m-type-II bursts in both groups occur during the flare impulsive phase. On the other hand, the DH-type-II
bursts in both groups occur during the decaying phase of the associated flares. Almost all m-DH-type-II bursts are found to
be associated with CMEs. Our results indicate that there are two kinds of shock in which group I (high frequency) m-type-II
bursts seem to be ignited by flares whereas group II (low frequency) m-type-II bursts are CME-driven. 相似文献

We discuss a very peculiar subgroup of gamma-ray bursts among the BATSE sources. These bursts are very short (T90 ? 0.1 s), hard, and came predominantly from a restricted direction of the sky (close to the Galactic anti-center). We analyze their arrival times and possible correlations, as well as the profiles of individual bursts. We find no peculiarities in the arrival times of Very Short Bursts (VSBs) despite their highly non-uniform spatial distribution. There is no dependence in the burst shapes on location. Bursts coming both from the burst-enhancement Galactic Anticenter region and from all other directions show considerable dispersion in their rise and fall times. Significant fraction of VSBs have multiple peaks despite their extremely short duration. Burst time properties are most likely to be consistent with two origin mechanisms: either with binary NS–NS mergers with low total masses passing through a phase of hypermassive neutron star, or with evaporation of the primordial black holes in the scenario of no photosphere formation. 相似文献

We present the results of our analysis of the JEM-X/INTEGRAL data obtained from January 2003 to January 2015 aimed at searching for type I X-ray bursts from known and new bursters. Such bursts are caused by thermonuclear explosions on the surface of a neutron star. We have searched for bursts in the records of the count rate of the JEM-X detectors in the 3–20 keV energy band. We have separately reconstructed and analyzed the light curves of 104 X-ray bursters known to date based on the JEM-X data. A similar search for bursts was previously carried out in the 15–25 keV data from the IBIS/ISGRI telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory obtained in 2003–2009. We have continued to analyze the data from this telescope up until the observations in January 2015. The joint catalog of bursts detected by the two instruments includes 2201 events; their basic parameters are given. The large size of the sample of bursts makes it one of the most representative of the existing one and allows various statistical studies of bursts to be performed. In particular, we have constructed the dependence of the mean rate of type I bursts from bursters on the luminosity (accretion rate), revealed an appreciable burst rate from sources with a near-Eddington luminosity, and investigated the population of multiple bursts with a recurrence time much shorter than the time it takes for a critical mass of matter required for the initiation of an explosion to be accumulated on the neutron star surface. Almost all of the detected bursts are associated with already known bursters,we have found only one previously unknown burster, IGRJ17380-3749, in the archival data, and one more known, but poorly studied source, AX J1754.2-2754, has been identified as a burster. Several similar sources have previously been identified as bursters directly during the INTEGRAL observations. 相似文献

Black holes are extremely dense and compact objects from which light cannot escape. There is an overall consensus that black holes exist and many astronomical objects are identified with black holes. White holes were understood as the exact time reversal of black holes, therefore they should continuously throw away material. It is accepted, however, that a persistent ejection of mass leads to gravitational pressure, the formation of a black hole and thus to the “death of while holes”. So far, no astronomical source has been successfully tagged a white hole. The only known white hole is the Big Bang which was instantaneous rather than continuous or long-lasting. We thus suggest that the emergence of a white hole, which we name a ‘Small Bang’, is spontaneous - all the matter is ejected at a single pulse. Thus, unlike black holes, white holes cannot be continuously observed rather their effect can only be detected around the event itself. γ-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the universe. Long γ-ray bursts were connected with supernova eruptions. There is a new group of γ-ray bursts, which are relatively close to Earth, but surprisingly lack any supernova emission. We propose identifying these bursts with white holes. White holes seem like the best explanation of γ-ray bursts that appear in voids. We also predict the detection of rare gigantic γ-ray bursts with energies much higher than typically observed. 相似文献

We analyze 175 sessions of Galactic-center observations with the TTM/COMIS telescope onboard the Mir-Kvant observatory from 1987 until 1998. Because of its wide field of view (～ 15°×15°), much of the Galaxy and, hence, a large number of X-ray sources were simultaneously within the telescope aperture. During the observations, 47 X-ray bursts were detected, 33 of which are most likely type I bursts related to unstable helium burning on the surfaces of neutron stars. All the detected type I bursts were identified with known X-ray sources; the pre-and post-burst luminosities of these sources measured with the TTM telescope were high. No bursts were detected from voids, i.e., from sources whose luminosities in quiescence did not exceed the TTM detection threshold. This result allows us to constrain the combination of the number of binary sources with low accretion rates and the properties of X-ray bursts from such sources, in particular, the peak luminosity during bursts and the frequency of their occurrence. 相似文献

We report detailed observations of the herringbone (HB) fine structure on type II solar radio bursts. Data from the Culgoora radiospectrograph, radiometer and radioheliograph are analyzed. We determine the characteristic spectral profiles, frequency drift rates and exciter velocities, fluxes, source sizes, brightness temperatures, and polarizations of individual HB bursts. Correlations between individual bursts within the characteristic groups of bursts and the properties of the associated type II bursts are examined. Our data are compatible with HB bursts being radiation at multiples of the plasma frequency generated by electron streams accelerated by the type II shock. We conclude that HB bursts are physically distinct phenomena from type II and type III bursts, differing significantly in emission processes and/or source conditions; this conclusion indicates that many of the presently available theoretical ideas for HB bursts are incorrect.Now at: Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Iowa, U.S.A.Now at Anglo-Australian Observatory, Sydney, Australia. 相似文献

A large number of Type IIIb–III pairs, in which the first component is a Type IIIb burst and the second one is a Type III burst, are often recorded during decameter Type III burst storms. From the beginning of their observation, the question of whether the components of these pairs are the first and the second harmonics of radio emission or not has remained open. We discuss properties of decameter IIIb–III pairs in detail to answer this question. The components of these pairs, Type IIIb bursts and Type III bursts, have essentially different durations and polarizations. At the same time their frequency drift rates are rather close, provided that the drift rates of Type IIIb bursts are a little larger those of Type III bursts at the same frequency. Frequency ratios of the bursts at the same moment are close to two. This points at a harmonic connection of the components in IIIb–III pairs. At the same time there was a serious difficulty, namely why the first harmonic had fine frequency structure in the form of striae and the second harmonic did not have it. Recently Loi, Cairns, and Li (Astrophys. J.790, 67, 2014) succeeded in solving this problem. The physical aspects of observational properties of decameter IIIb–III pairs are discussed and pros and cons of harmonic character of Type IIIb bursts and Type III bursts in IIIb–III pairs are presented. We conclude that practically all properties of the IIIb–III pair components can be understood in the framework of the harmonic relation of the components of the IIIb–III pairs. 相似文献

We assume that gamma-ray bursts come from relativistic beaming in random directions, with the bursts being standard candles in their own rest frames and following a power-law distribution, and that the rate of occurrence is a constant in the comoving frame of the Ω = 1, Λ = 0 Friedmann universe. This model is very sensitive to the beaming velocity. For a Lorentz factor Γ < 10 and a power-law index n < 1.0 our calculated statistics agree with the BATSE data of weak bursts and the PVO data of strong bursts. 相似文献

Temporal properties of short gamma-ray bursts 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We analyse a sample of bright short bursts from the BATSE 4B-catalog and find that many short bursts are highly variable ( δt min / T ≪1 , where δt min is the shortest pulse duration and T is the burst duration). This indicates that it is unlikely that short bursts are produced by external shocks. We also analyse the available (first 1–2 s) high-resolution Time Tagged Events (TTE) data of some of the long bursts. We find that variability on a 10-ms time-scale is common in long bursts. This result shows that some long bursts are even more variable than it was thought before ( δt min / T ≈10-4 –10-3 ) . 相似文献

Gamma-ray bursts from internal shocks in a relativistic wind: temporal and spectral properties 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We construct models for gamma-ray bursts in which the emission comes from internal shocks in a relativistic wind with a highly non-uniform distribution of the Lorentz factor. We follow the evolution of the wind using a very simplified approach in which a large number of layers interact by direct collisions but all pressure waves have been suppressed. We suppose that the magnetic field and the electron Lorentz factor reach large equipartition values in the shocks. Synchrotron photons emitted by the relativistic electrons have a typical energy in the gamma-ray range in the observer frame. Synthetic bursts are constructed as the sum of the contributions from all the internal elementary shocks, and their temporal and spectral properties are compared with the observations. We reproduce the diversity of burst profiles, the 'FRED' shape of individual pulses and the short time-scale variability. Synthetic bursts also satisfy the duration–hardness relation and individual pulses are found to be narrower at high energy, in agreement with the observations. These results suggest that internal shocks in a relativistic wind may indeed be at the origin of gamma-ray bursts. A potential problem, however, is the relatively low efficiency of the dissipation process. If the relativistic wind is powered by accretion from a disc to a stellar mass black hole, it implies that a substantial fraction of the available energy is injected into the wind. 相似文献

Out of 120 solar type IV events recorded at the Trieste Astronomical Observatory, we have selected 15 groups of spike bursts. We analyze their properties, concentrating on the characteristics of their polarization. We find that the polarization of the spikes varies over a wide range, but that within a particular group of spikes it remains almost constant. Sometimes groups of spikes with different degrees of polarization occur almost contemporaneously, probably indicating that more than one source is active at nearly the same time.Occasionally spike bursts accompany type III bursts. Then, unlike the case with type IV-associated events, the polarization of the spikes varies greatly.Proceedings of the Workshop on Radio Continua during Solar Flares, held at Duino (Trieste), Italy, 27–31 May, 1985. 相似文献

Conclusions The present paper demonstrates on the basis of 2 series of events that one can extend the homology so far known for optical and radio flares also to the hard and soft X-ray bursts.The studied homologous X-ray flares occurred in the same active region and their time-intensity profiles were very similar. It has been found that the detected homologous X-ray bursts are associated with radio bursts that also are homologous. The time profile of centimeter radio bursts frequently is repeated in detail when compared with the time profile of X-ray bursts as one can see in Figure 1. This very close correspondence suggests that the centimeter radio bursts and X-ray bursts are generated simultaneously during flares, probably in the same region (Sengupta, 1968). Arnoldy et al. (1968) have found a detailed correlation between the time-intensity profiles of hard X-ray bursts and 3 or 10 cm radio bursts. This close correlation between the hard X-ray bursts and centimeter radio bursts leads to a suggestion that the hard X-ray and centimeter radio bursts are generated by the same electrons. On the basis of these considerations one can more easily understand the homology of both the X-ray bursts and the radio bursts. The occurrence of homologous bursts then can be explained by an existence of regions on the sun in which for a certain time (48 h after Fokker) the same conditions are maintained in the acceleration of the electrons generating the X-ray and radio bursts. 相似文献

The results of observations of solar decametric drift pair bursts are presented. These observations were carried out during
a Type III burst storm on July 11–21, 2002, with the decameter radio telescope UTR-2, equipped with new back-end facilities.
High time and frequency resolution of the back-end allowed us to obtain new information about the structure and properties
of these bursts. The statistical analysis of more than 700 bursts observed on 13–15 July was performed separately for “forward”
and “reverse” drift pair bursts. Such an extensive amount of these kind of bursts has never been processed before. It should
be pointed out that “forward” and “reverse” drift pair bursts have a set of similar parameters, such as time delay between
the burst elements, duration of an element, and instant bandwidth of an element. Nevertheless some of their parameters are
different. So, the absolute average value of frequency drift rate for “forward” bursts is 0.8 MHz s−1, while for “reverse” ones it is 2 MHz s−1. The obtained functional dependencies “drift rate vs. frequency” and “flux density vs. frequency” were found to be different
from the current knowledge. We also report about the observation of unusual variants of drift pairs, in particular, of “hook”
bursts and bursts with fine time and frequency structure. A possible mechanism of drift pairs generation is proposed, according
to which this emission may originate from the interaction of Langmuir waves with the magnetosonic waves having equal phase
and group velocities. 相似文献

We recently investigated some of the hitherto unreported observational characteristics of the low frequency (85–35 MHz) type III–V bursts from the Sun using radio spectropolarimeter observations. The quantitative estimates of the velocities of the electron streams associated with the above two types of bursts indicate that they are in the range \({\gtrsim }0.13c\)–0.02c for the type V bursts, and nearly constant (\({\approx }0.4c\)) for the type III bursts. We also find that the degree of circular polarization of the type V bursts vary gradually with frequency/heliocentric distance as compared to the relatively steeper variation exhibited by the preceding type III bursts. These imply that the longer duration of the type V bursts at any given frequency (as compared to the preceding type III bursts) which is its defining feature, is due to the combined effect of the lower velocities of the electron streams that generate type V bursts, spread in the velocity spectrum, and the curvature of the magnetic field lines along which they travel. 相似文献

We present H filtergram observations of a number of the Type III-RS (reverse slope) bursts that occurred on August 12, 1975. Solar radio emission was peculiar on that date in that a large number, and proportion, of the usually rare reverse slope bursts were observed (Tarnstrom and Zehntner, 1975). We show that the radio bursts coincide in time with a homologous set of H flares located at the limbward edge of spot group Mt. Wilson 19598. We propose a model in which the reverse slope bursts are the downward branches of U bursts, whose upward branches are hidden behind the coronal density enhancement over the spot group. 相似文献
