6 Dec 2004 | Journal: | Astrophys.J. 625 (2005) L91-L94 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | The low luminosity radio emission of the unusually faint GRB 031203 has been argued to support the idea of a class of intrinsically sub-energetic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), currently comprising two members. While low energy GRBs probably exist, we show that the collective prompt and multiwavelength observations of the afterglow of GRB 031203 do not necessarily require a sub-energetic nature for that event. In fact, the data are more consistent with a typical, powerful GRB seen at an angle of about twice the opening angle of the central jet. The (redshift corrected) peak energy, E_p, of GRB 031203 then becomes ~ 2 MeV, similar to many other GRBs. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0412145 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
