Redshift Dependent Lag-Luminosity Relation in 565 BASTE Gamma Ray Bursts

Astrophysics 2009-06-23 v1

Abstract

We compared redshifts zYz_Y from Yonetoku relation and zlagz_{lag} from the lag-luminosity relation for 565 BASTE GRBs and were surprised to find that the correlation is very low. Assuming that the luminosity is a function of both zYz_Y and the intrinsic spectral lag τlag\tau_{lag}, we found a new redshift dependent lag-luminosity relation as L=7.5×1050erg/s(1+z)2.53τlag0.282L=7.5\times 10^{50}{\rm erg/s}(1+z)^{2.53}\tau_{lag}^{-0.282} with the correlation coefficient of 0.77 and the chance probability of 7.9×10757.9\times 10^{-75}. To check the validity of this method, we examined the other luminosity indicator, Amati relation, using zYz_Y and the observed fluence and found the correlation coefficient of 0.92 and the chance probability of 5.2×101065.2\times 10^{-106}. Although the spectral lag is computed from two channels of BATSE, our new lag-luminosity relation suggests that a possible lag-luminosity relation in the \swift era should also depend on redshift.
