The photospheric radiation model for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts: interpreting four observed correlations.

FAN Y.-Z., WEI D.-M., ZHANG F.-W. and ZHANG B.-B.

Abstract (from CDS):

We show that the empirical Ep- L, Γ - L, Ep- Γ, and {bar}etaγ - Ep correlations (where L is the time-averaged luminosity of the prompt emission, Ep is the spectral peak energy, Γ is the bulk Lorentz factor, and {bar}etaγ is the emission efficiency of gamma-ray bursts, GRBs) are well consistent with the relations between the analogous parameters predicted in the photospheric radiation model of the prompt emission of GRBs. The time-resolved thermal radiation of GRB 090902B does follow the Ep-L and Γ-L correlations. A reliable interpretation of the four correlations in alternative models is still lacking. These may point toward a photospheric origin of prompt emission of some GRBs.
