Possible correlations between gamma-ray burst and its host galaxy offset
Abstract
We collected the information of 304 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from the literature, and analyzed the correlations among the host galaxy offsets (the distance from the site of the GRB to the center of its host galaxy), (the duration in rest-frame), (the duration in rest-frame), (the isotropic equivalent energy), (, the isotropic equivalent luminosity) and (peak luminosity). We found that , , , have negative correlation with , which is consistent with origin of short GRBs (SGRBs) and long GRBs (LGRBs). On separate analysis, we found similar results for - and - relations in case of SGRBs only, while no obvious relation for LGRBs. There is no correlations between offset and . We also put the special GRB 170817A {and GRB 060218A} on the plots. {The two GRBs both have low luminosity and small offset.} In the plot, we found GRB 170817A locates in between the two regions of SGRBs and LGRBs and it is the outlier in the , and plots. Together with GRB 060218A being an outlier in all plots, it indicates the speciality of GRBs 170817A and 060218A, and might imply more subgroups of the GRB samples.
