GRB 031203
Discovered by Integral (T ~ 30s) on Dec. 3, 2003
Optical and NIR (~9hs after) show faint AG
superimposed to host galaxy at z=0.1055
Rebrightening detected in all bands
peaking at 18 rest-frame days,
resembling light curve of SN 1998bw
Spectra taken close to maximum show extremely
broad features as in SN 1998bw  SN 2004lw

Strong support to GRB/energetic Ic SN (“hypernova”)

GRB 030329
(Discovered by HETE-2, Vanderspek et al. 2003)
• GRB030329 is among the brightest 1% of bursts ever seen
• typical long burst (~25s), fluence of 1.6 x 10-4 erg cm-2
E,iso ≈ 1.3 x 1052 erg
• optical AG had magnitude ~12 after 1.5 h (more than 3 mag brighter
than GRB 990123 and GRB 021004)
• optical AG observed by an unprecedented number of telescopes (65)
• GRB030329 was the nearest “cosmological” GRB, at z = 0.17
(obtained 16h after the burst by the VLT and 8h later by Keck)
• ~ 10 days after the GRB, the spectral signature of an energetic
Type Ic supernova emerged (SN 2003dh).
z = 0.1675  probability of detecting a GRB this close by is ~1/3000
=> unlikely that HETE-2 or Swift will see another such event

Giant flare from
SGR 1806-20
SGRs are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars with observable
emissions (up to 100 keV) powered by magnetic dissipation
Giant flare from SGR 1806-20 detected on December 27, 2004
6
 380s long, ~10 brighter than typical GRBs (emission followed
by hard X-ray tail modulated by the period of the neutron star – 7.56s)
energy greatly exceeds previous events
 initial (200 ms) spike has blackbody spectrum, characteristic of
relativistic pair/photon outflow
 observed light curve is well explained by emission from relativistic
expanding fireballs, like GRBs (Yamazaki et al., astro-ph 0502320)
 rapidly fading after 600 ms  emission from relativistic jet
 extreme energy suggests catastrophic instability involving global
crust failure and magnetic reconnection, perhaps with significant
large-scale untwisting of the magnetosphere (new physics !!)
 from a great distance this event would appear to be a
short-hard GRB ! (Hurley et al. 2005, subm. Nature)

GRB models
Observations favor the collapsar
model
collapsar: high mass WR star, high
rotation, make black hole
 1% of supernovae are collapsars
 Maybe 1 GRB/galaxy/10.000 years

CEA
The fireball model
CEA
The fireball model

Complex light curves are due to internal shocks
caused by velocity variations – blobs with different s

Turbulent magnetic fields build up behind the shocks
 synchrotron power-law radiation spectrum
 Compton scattering to GeV range

Jetted fireball: fireball can be significantly collimated
if progenitor is a massive star with rapid rotation
 escape route along the rotation axis
 jet formation
 alleviate energy requirements
 higher burst rates

GRBs as a probe for
cosmology
Earliest massive stars form at z ≈ 20
GRBs may mark the moment of “first light”
(end of the “dark ages”, from z=1100)
 indeed, some calculations (Lamb & Reichart 2000)
suggest that 10-40% of GRBs may lie at z > 5
GRBs have -ray luminosities 10 billion times greater than
the associated SNe and host galaxies
 GRBs are easily detectable out to z ≈ 20
HETE-2 has shown that Liso and Eiso are correlated with z
 GRBS evolve with redshift: bursts at z=5 are ~1000
times more luminous than at z=0 !
CEA
GRBs as a probe for
cosmology
Strong correlation found:
2/3
obs
Epeak  Epeak (1+z)  E 
(Guirlanda, Ghisellini & Lazzati 2004)
Epeak is the peak of the  F spectrum
E is the collimation-corrected GRB energy: E = (1 – cos j ) E,iso
Underlying physical reason is not known, but the radiation process
(and photon energy) should be related to the energy content
The correlation makes GRBs important cosmological tools,
because they probe redshifts not accessible by Ia SNe

What to expect in
the coming years
 Early afterglows will be carefully studied  the missing link
between the prompt emission and the afterglow will be identified;
 The jet configuration will be identified  universal structured jet
model could be validated by future data;
 With accumulation of a large sample of spectral information and
redshifts for GRB/XRF with Swift, we will know a lot more about
the site(s) and mechanism(s) for the prompt emission;
 Detection of GRB afterglows with z > 6 may provide a unique way
to probe the primordial star formation, massive IMF, early IGM,
and chemical enrichment at the end of the cosmic reionization era.
(Djorgovski et al. 2003);
 With Swift, we should get ~120 GRBs to produce Hubble diagrams
free of all effects of dust extinction and out to redshifts impossible
to reach by any other method (Schaefer 2003).
CEA
Open questions
 What is the exact nature of the central engine?
 Why does it work so intermittently, ejecting blobs
with large contrast in their bulk Lorentz factors?
 What is the radiation mechanism of the prompt
emission?
 What is the jet angle? If between 2o and 20o, the
energy can vary by ~500 (~1050 – 1052 erg)
 What is the efficiency of converting bulk motion
into radiation?

“For theorists who may wish to enter this broad
and growing field, I should point out that there
are a considerable number of combinations,
for example, comets of antimatter falling onto
white holes, not yet claimed.”
