Abstract

Using time-resolved spectral data for a sample of 30 pulses in 27 bright GRBs detected with CGRO/BATSE, we investigate the luminosity-peak energy relation (L-E-p relation) in the decay phases of these pulses. A tight L-E-p relation is found for most of the pulses, but its power law index is various among pulses, which is normally distributed at 1.84 +/- 0.60(1 sigma) for the pulses in our sample, roughly consistent with the L-E-p relation within a GRB and the isotropic gamma-ray energy-E-p relation among GRBs. The large scatter of the power law index cannot be explained with both the statistical or observational effects and it may be an intrinsic feature, indicating that no universal L-E-p relation would be expected among GRBs/pulses. This may strongly weaken the cosmological use of this relation.

Summary: The coincident detection of GW170817 in gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation provided direct evidence of short gamma-ray bursts originating from binary neutron star mergers. Through high-energy observations such as in the case of GRB 160821B, we can gain better insight into the nature and origin of short GRBs, particularly those associated with BNS mergers. Further studies and future observations in the GeV-TeV bands are crucial for advancing our understanding in this field.
