Magnetar central engine powering the energetic GRB 210610B ?
arxiv(2024)
Abstract
The bright GRB 210610B was discovered simultaneously by Fermi and Swift
missions at redshift 1.13. We utilized broadband Fermi-GBM observations to
perform a detailed prompt emission spectral analysis and to understand the
radiation physics of the burst. Our analysis displayed that the low energy
spectral index (α_ pt) exceeds boundaries expected from the typical
synchrotron emission spectrum (-1.5,-0.67), suggesting additional emission
signature. We added an additional thermal model with the typical Band or CPL
function and found that CPL + BB function is better fitting to the data,
suggesting a hybrid jet composition for the burst. Further, we found that the
beaming corrected energy (E_γ, θ_j = 1.06 ×
10^51 erg) of the burst is less than the total energy budget of the
magnetar. Additionally, the X-ray afterglow light curve of this burst exhibits
achromatic plateaus, adding another layer of complexity to the explosion's
behavior. Interestingly, we noted that the X-ray energy release during the
plateau phase (E_ X,iso = 1.94 × 10^51 erg) is also less than
the total energy budget of the magnetar. Our results indicate the possibility
that a magnetar could be the central engine for this burst.
