Self-organized Criticality across Precursor, Main, and Extended Emission Phases of Gamma-Ray Bursts
伽马射线暴前兆、主发射与延展发射阶段的自组织临界性
We investigate the self-organized criticality (SOC) signatures of the precursor, main emission, extended emission (EE), and whole emission phases for three-phase gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). These parameters include the conventional duration-based index T<SUB>100</SUB>, as well as the newly introduced parameters T<SUB>MVT</SUB> and spectral lags (τ<SUB>32</SUB>, τ<SUB>42</SUB>). All cumulative distributions show power-law scaling in each phase for both Type I and Type II GRBs. For the first time, we demonstrate that the EE phase exhibits the same SOC scaling as the other phases. Phase-to-phase ratios show that spectral lag ratios are correlated, while duration-based ratios are not, indicating a common origin for spectral lags. Statistical comparisons among the four indexes reveal no significant differences across phases or within each phase, except in the EE phase where T<SUB>MVT</SUB> is marginally different from the spectral lags. When compared with the three-dimensional expectation α = 2.0 (duration-based), T<SUB>MVT</SUB> and T<SUB>100</SUB> show no significant deviation, whereas spectral lags seem to follow the fluence scaling α ≍ 1.5 as predicted by the fractal-diffusive SOC model. Thus, the same magnetic reconnection driven avalanche likely operates throughout the entire GRB, and these new parameters provide new observational diagnostics of the avalanche process.

以往对 GRB 自组织临界性的研究多集中在主发射或延展发射的持续时间分布,较少系统比较前兆、主发射、延展发射和全程的统一标度行为。该文将传统 T100 与新提出的 T_MVT 及谱延迟等参数纳入同一框架,在 Type I/II GRB 各时相中均得到幂律累积分布,首次把 SOC 证据延伸到延展发射阶段。谱延迟比的相关性以及谱延迟更接近 fluence 标度 α≈1.5,提示其与持续时标参数可能追踪雪崩过程的不同侧面。从趋势看,未来可把这类多参数、多时相 SOC 诊断拓展到更大样本和更高时间分辨率,以检验磁重联雪崩图像在 GRB 全过程中的普适性。
