Title: | GRB physics and cosmology with peak energy-intensity correlations | Authors: | Sawant, Disha AMATI, LORENZO |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Volume: | The Second ICRANet César Lattes Meeting: Supernovae, Neutron Stars and Black Holes | Editors: | Barres de Almeida, Ulisses; Chardonnet, Pascal; Picanco Negreiros, Rodrigo; Rueda, Jorge; Ruffini, Remo; Vereshchagin, Gregory; Zen Vasconcellos, César | Series: | AIP CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS | Number: | 1693 | First Page: | 020004 | Abstract: | Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are immensely energetic explosions radiating up to 10^54 erg of energy isotropically (Eiso) and they are observed within a wide range of redshift (from ̃ 0.01 up to ̃ 9). Such enormous power and high redshift point at these phenomena being highly favorable to investigate the history and evolution of our universe. The major obstacle in their application as cosmological study-tools is to find a way to standardize the GRBs, for instance similar to SNe Ia. With respect to this goal, the correlation between spectral peak energy (Ep,i) and the "intensity" is a positively useful and investigated criterion. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that, through the Ep,i - Eiso correlation, the current data set of GRBs can already contribute to the independent evidence of the matter density Ω_M being ̃ 0.3 for a flat universe scenario. We try to inspect and compare the correlations of E<SUB>p,i</SUB> with different intensity indicators (e.g., radiated energy, average and peak luminosity, bolometric vs. monochromatic quantities, etc.) both in terms of intrinsic dispersion and precise estimation of Ω_M. The outcome of such studies are further analyzed in verifying the reliability of the correlations for both GRB physics and their standardization for cosmology. | Conference Name: | The Second ICRANet César Lattes Meeting: Supernovae, Neutron Stars and Black Holes | Conference Place: | Rio de Janeiro, Niterói, João Pessoa, Recife and Fortaleza, Brazil | Conference Date: | 13-22 April, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24093 | URL: | https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4937182 | ISSN: | 0094-243X | ISBN: | 978-0-7354-1340-5 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.4937182 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015AIPC.1693b0004S | Fulltext: | open |
