The Origin of Low-redshift Event Rate Excess as Revealed by the Low-luminosity Gamma-Ray Bursts
Abstract The relation between the event rate of long gamma-ray bursts and the star formation rate is still controversial, especially at the low-redshift end. Dong et al. confirmed that the gamma-ray burst rate always exceeds the star formation rate at a low redshift of z < 1 in spite of the sample completeness. However, the reason for low-redshift excess is still unclear. Since low-luminosity bursts are at smaller redshifts generally, we choose three Swift long burst samples and classify them into low- and high-luminosity bursts in order to check whether the low-redshift excess is existent and if the excess is biased by the sample size and completeness. To degenerate the redshift evolution from luminosity, we adopt the nonparametric method to study the event rate of the two types of long bursts in each sample. It is found that the high-luminosity burst rate is consistent with the star formation rate within the whole redshift range, while the event rate of low-luminosity bursts exceeds the star formation rate at a low redshift of z < 1. Consequently, we conclude that the low-redshift excess is contributed by the low-luminosity bursts with possibly new origins unconnected with the star formation, which is also independent of the sample size and the sample completeness.
