(Received June 26, 2006; Accepted July 19, 2006)ABSTRACT
We investigate the correlation between the peak energy and the burst duration usingavailable long GRB data with known redshift, whose circumburst medium type hasbeen suggested via afterglow light curve modeling. We find that the peak energy andthe burst duration of the observed GRBs are correlated both in the observer frameand in the GRB rest frame. For our total sample we obtain, for instance, the Spear-man rank-order correlation values
in the observer frame and in the GRB rest frame,
respectively. We note that taking the effects of the expanding universe into accountreduces the value a bit. We further attempt to separate our GRB sample into the “ISM”GRBs and the “WIND” GRBs according to environment models inferred from the af-terglow light curves and apply statistical tests, as one may expect that clues on theprogenitor of GRBs can be deduced directly from prompt emission properties otherthan from the ambient environment surrounding GRBs. We find that two subsamplesof GRBs show different correlation coefficients. That is, the Spearman rank-order cor-relation are
for the “ISM” GRBs and “WIND” GRBs, respectively,
after taking the effects of the expanding universe into account. It is not yet, however,statistically very much significant that the GRBS in two types of circumburst mediashow statistically characteristic behaviors, from which one may conclude that all thelong bursts are not originated from a single progenitor population. A larger size ofdata is required to increase the statistical significance. Keywords: gamma rays: bursts – methods: data analysis
1. INTRODUCTION
Gamma-ray bursts(GRBs) are brief and intense phenomena, whose peak energy in their spectra
400 keV (e.g., Barraud et al. 2003). Since they were first detected in the
late 1960s (Klebesadel, Strong, & Olson 1973), we have learned a great deal of the observed GRBswith their counterparts in lower energy bands, so called afterglows (e.g., Costa et al. 1997, Frailet al. 1997, Metzger et al. 1997, van Paradijs et al. 1997). Follow-up observations of afterglow oflong GRBs have played crucial roles in establishing facts that (1) GRBs are cosmological (Mao &Paczy ski 1992, Meegan et al. 1992, Piran 1992), (2) opening angle corrected energy is clustered
ergs which is comparable to ordinary supernova energy (Panaitescu & Kumar 2001b,
Piran et al. 2001, Frail et al. 2001, Bloom, Frail, & Kulkarni 2003), (3) GRBs, at least long bursts,are closely related to the death of massive young stars (Woosley 1993, Paczy ski 1998, MacFadyen
& Woosley 1999), and (4) the afterglow emission is due to the electron synchrotron radiation froma decelerating relativistic blast wave, which suggests an indirect hint of the emission mechanism ofGRBs (Paczy ski & Rhoads 1993, Sari & Piran 1995, Waxman 1997a,b, Wijers, Rees, &
It is widely accepted that the fireball internal/external shock model succeeds in explaining both
the prompt emission and afterglow, in which highly relativistic shocks with Lorentz factor
collide each other and are subsequently decelerated by the circumburst medium (
1994, Kobayashi, Piran, & Sari 1997, Daigne & Mochkovitch 1998, 2000).
The shock may be spherical or initially confined to a narrow cone. An engine of GRBs is, however,apparently to power conical ejecta to produce the observed GRBs and their afterglows. For, inmany cases the rate of decay in afterglow flux has been observed to steepen, which is naturallyaccounted for by a collimated conical jet (Rhoads 1999, Sari, Piran, & Halpern 1999). After all,an afterglow light curve depends fairly strongly on physical properties of a whole GRB system,especially the mass-loss rate of the progenitor and the ambient density distribution (Chevalier &Li 1999, Panaitescu & Kumar 2001a,b, 2002). Hence, afterglow observations are well suited todetermining not only the geometry of the explosion but also the distribution of circumburst matter.
Some insights about the GRB progenitor can be obtained from properties of the circumburst
medium surrounding GRBs, which can be inferred from features of the afterglow emission. GRBambient environments are grouped into two types in general: “ISM” and “WIND”. One may considera constant circumburst matter density, the “ISM” case. If the ejecta is expelled during the merging oftwo compact objects, it is expected that the medium surrounding the GRB source is homogeneous. We also note that a quasi-homogeneous environment around a massive star can be created by thepre-shock wave (e.g., Chevalier, Li, & Fransson 2004). Another possibility is that the circumburstmedium is dominated by a wind outflow from a progenitor star, the “WIND” case. If a collapsingmassive star is the origin of the relativistic fireball, the circumburst medium is the wind ejectedby the star prior to its collapse, in which case a constant mass-loss rate and wind speed results inan ¾ profile. The question of a wind versus a constant-density surrounding medium is a crucial
issue for the progenitor of GRBs (e.g., Mirabal et al. 2003). Density profiles derived from afterglowmodelling are particularly intriguing, in the sense that most of events are consistent with a constantdensity environment and only in a few cases a wind profile is preferred. This immediately has raisedthe question of why such evidence is not seen in all GRBs with afterglows. The absence of clearwind signature in some afterglow light curves can be explained by different classes of progenitors ofthe long bursts (e.g., Chevalier & Li 1999, 2000).
The analysis of the prompt emission from GRBs may provide us with valuable hints to the
central source accelerating the outflow from which the radiation emanates (Fenimore, Madras, &Nayakshin 1996, Kobayashi, Piran, & Sari 1997, Beloborodov, Stern, & Svensson 1998, Fenimore1999, Chang & Yi 2000, Amati et al. 2002, Ghirlanda, Ghisellini, & Lazzati 2004, Liang & Dai2004, Liang, Dai, & Wu 2004). The significant advances in our understanding of the nature ofGRBs have been made through statistical studies of GRB light curves. For instance, statisticalstudies of the direction and of the observed flux of GRBs have restricted models of the spatialdistribution of GRBs to a cosmological distribution (e.g., Chang & Yi 2001). Recently, the emissionproperties of GRBs are studied in terms of the peak energy of the

also interested in the question of whether GRBs show similar behaviors in the prompt emissionwhen they are divided, as mentioned earlier, by two types of the circumburst medium derived fromafterglow light curves. We attempt to look for in the prompt emission of GRBs fingerprints left by theprogenitor of GRBs. By doing so, one may wish to deduce whether their central engine really worksin a different way as density profiles derived from afterglow modelling imply a different kind of theGRB progenitor. To study spectral features of the prompt emission of GRBs is a complementary,yet direct approach to constrain the nature of the progenitor. Particularly, using data of the GRBswhose redshift
is known we are also able to infer how the correlation changes by the cosmological
expansion of the universe, that is, cosmological time dilation and redshift in energy. This paperis organized as follows. In 2 we describe GRB data we use in this analysis and present results
obtained from a study of the correlation between the peak energy and the duration. In 3 discussions
2. CORRELATION BETWEEN PEAK ENERGY AND DURATION
In order to investigate a relation between the peak energy and the duration we have compiled
data of the observed GRBs from published literatures and public databases as indicated in Table 1.

We choose the GRBs whose afterglow light curves are modeled in terms of the density profile oftheir ambient medium so that one can determine what kind of environment the source resides in. Some of GRBs are equally well (or poorly) described by the two types of media at the same time. We exclude these cases in our analysis. Of those chosen bursts, we further select the GRBs whoseredshift , peak energy
into two subsamples so that we separate GRBs into the “ISM” GRBs and the “WIND” GRBs. Theselected bursts are observed by BATSE½, BeppoSAX¾, Ulysses¿, HETE-2 . We list the GRBs usedin our analysis in Table 1 with the environment type.

may wish to check with a larger sample in the future whether it is ascribed to the small size of thesample or it is intrinsic. The obtained statistical parameters are summarized in Table 2. Note thatwhen we calculate slopes and correlations, we take the lower limit of the peak energy

Secondly, one must avoid a systematicmismatch in assigning the GRB environment since the conclusion that can be drawn in an attemptsuch as in this paper is critically based on the grouping of GRBs. Sometimes it may be hard tounanimously distinguish between two circumburst environments by current afterglow light curvemodelling since there is a degeneracy of the parameters in the current afterglow model. Hence morecautious study on the GRB environments are desired for the definite classification. 3. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION
The spectroscopic finding of SN 2003dh in the afterglow light curve from GRB 030329 (Stanek
et al. 2003, Hjorth et al. 2003) supports the previous identification of the nearby SN 1998bw withGRB 980425 (Galama et al. 1998, Iwamoto et al. 1998), providing a link between a GRB and thesupernova explosion of a massive star. The implication of the supernova light is that the GRBprogenitor is a massive star. An essential consequence of a massive star progenitor is that the envi-ronment for the progenitor is determined by the mass-loss wind from the star, of which signature isinterestingly not found clearly in all afterglow light curves. This is at odds with the simple expecta-tion of massive star progenitors. Several complications in modelling and interpreting the afterglowlight curve still await to be fully understood (e.g., Chevalier, Li, & Fransson 2004). At present,however, it is fair to say that only a fraction of long GRB afterglows appears to be associated withthe death of massive stars. That is, the observed GRBs have been born in two distinct types of natalenvironments.
A summary of our findings is as follows. Firstly, we find correlations between the peak energy
both in the observer frame and in the source frame with high prob-
ability (cf. Band et al. 1993). This correlation is expected from an analogous correlation that holdsbetween the hardness-ratio and the duration for long and bright GRBs (Dezalay et al. 1996, Horack& Hakkila 1997). It is also found in Table 2 that removing effects of the cosmological expansion in-deed reduces correlation values both in the total sample. The implication of our correlation analysisis that conclusions of the correlation between the hardness-ratio and the duration should be derived

with due care, taking effects of the cosmological expansion into account. Secondly, we obtain a pos-sible signature that all the long GRBs are not originated from a single population, as inferred fromthe properties of the ambient environment surrounding GRBs. That is, the “ISM” GRBs and the“WIND” GRBs might be intrinsically different, one groups has a correlation coefficient above theaverage value and the other below the average. The two most generally accepted classes of GRBsare those arising from the bimodal distribution of their durations (Kouveliotou et al. 1993), whichseparates long and short GRBs, the spectrum of short events being, on average, harder than that forlonger events. A widely assumed scenario is that short bursts are likely to be produced by the mergerof compact objects, while the core collapse of massive stars is likely to give rise to long bursts (e.g.,
2002 and Piran 2005). However, it is still unclear whether long GRBs consist of more
than one population. For instance, various attempts to separate different classes of GRBs have beenmade (Tavani 1998, Balastegui, Ruiz-Lapuente, & Canal 2001). It should noted, however, that ourresults are somewhat inconclusive due to a low significance resulting from a small size of data sets.

Our finding does not rule out the fact that long GRBs may be originated from different progenitorpopulations.
