Statistical study of gamma-ray bursts with jet break feature in multi-wavelength afterglow emissions
Abstract
It is generally supposed that a transition from the normal decay phase (decay slope ) to a steeper phase (decay slope ) could be suggested as a jet break. The jet opening angle is then calculated from the jet break time of the afterglow light curve. This allows the derivation of the collimation-corrected energy of those GRBs. We extensively searched for the GRBs with jet break features from multi-wavelength afterglow light curves, and 138 GRBs with significant breaks were collected. The jet break times of those GRBs mainly range from 1000 s to s, and the distribution of the collimation-corrected energy peaks at erg. We also confirmed the , and relations, and found relation remains tight with more multi-wavelength data. This tight relation is also conformed by different groups of our selected GRBs in the paper. In addition, another two new and tighter correlations among are well confirmed for different circumburst mediums in this paper. We suggest that those tight three-parameter correlations are more physical, and could be widely applied to constrain the cosmological parameters.
