Light curve

Hide the light curve section.

This light curve comes from the light curve repository (if you use it, please cite Evans et al [2007, 2009]. Flares, marked by cross-hatched regions, are identified automatically, but may have been manually corrected. These are excluded from the fit. Any power-law breaks added to the fit must be required at the 4-σ level (according to an f-test) to be included in the best-fit. Details of all fits attempted are given below the plot. For more information see the light curve fitting documentation.

Internal error. Fit information not available.

Fit Details

There are no flares ignored from this fit.

The best-fitting light curve has 0 breaks.

Spectra

Hide the spectrum section.

Since there are no breaks in the light curve, only the time-averaged spectra are shown below. Times of flaring have not been removed, however this makes little difference to most spectra (see Fig 7/8c of Evans et al. 2009). For more information see the time-resolved spectroscopy documentation.

Parameter distributions

The plots below show the probability density functions of the temporal and time-averaged spectral parameters for all GRBs, with the data for GRB 230307A shown on in colour. Click the images for larger versions.

For all plots, the solid vertical lines mark the values for this GRB, and the dashed lines the 1-σ uncertainties. For α and T_b, the colour changes for each phase. For the spectral parameters, the WT fits are shown in blue and the PC in red. These figures correspond to Figs. 5,6, 7a and 8a of Evans et al. (2009). See the PDF documentation for more information.

Closure Relationships

The plots below show (α, β) scatter plots for each of the different types/phases of light curves (see light-curve types), since GRB 230307A is of type, "Unknown," which has no scatter plots of its own. GRB 230307A is shown in colour, with each light curve phase, or XRT mode marked by a different colour. α and β are the temporal and spectral energy power-law indices respectively. The shaded regions mark those allowed by the standard closure relationships. These figures correspond to Fig. 10 of Evans et al. (2009). See the closure relationship documentation for more information.
