Abstract

The discoveries of the evolving spectral line in gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A provide valuable information for understanding its extreme physical environment and emission mechanisms. In this work, we perform a comprehensive search for 3941 GRBs recorded in the Fermi/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) from 2008 July to 2025 February; although no confirmed spectral lines are found, two spectral line candidates at ∼15 and ∼6 MeV in GRB 160905A and GRB 200829A are identified, respectively. Interestingly, the latter’s rest-frame line energy ∼13 MeV at redshift z = 1.25 is similar to that of GRB 221009A at z = 0.151. If this is true, it implies that they may share a common physical origin, possibly linked to blueshifted electron–positron annihilation processes within relativistic jets. Finally, this comprehensive search reveals no >5σ significant line features across the GBM GRB sample, with only two candidates at ∼3σ level. These results place meaningful constraints on the peculiarity and possible origin of the spectral line observed in GRB 221009A.
GRB 200829A和GRB 160905A 6 MeV和15 MeV的候选谱线
伽玛射线暴(GRB) 221009A的演化谱线的发现为了解其极端物理环境和发射机制提供了有价值的信息。在这项工作中,我们对2008年7月至2025年2月期间费米/伽马射线暴监测器(GBM)记录的3941次伽马射线暴进行了全面搜索;虽然没有发现确定的谱线,但在GRB 160905A和GRB 200829A中分别确定了两个谱线候选者,分别在~ 15和~ 6 MeV。有趣的是,后者在红移z = 1.25处的静帧线能量~ 13 MeV与z = 0.151处的GRB 221009A相似。如果这是真的,这意味着它们可能有一个共同的物理起源,可能与相对论喷流中的蓝移电子-正电子湮灭过程有关。最后,这项综合搜索显示,在GBM GRB样本中没有>5σ显著线特征,只有两个候选值在~ 3σ水平。这些结果对GRB 221009A观测到的光谱线的特殊性和可能的起源提出了有意义的限制。
