Analysis finds potential quasiperiodic oscillation signals in GRB 250702DBE, suggesting unknown progenitors.
GRB 250702DBE was time consequently triggered by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on board the Fermi satellite. It is uncertain which celestial catalog is suitable for this special ultralong event to belong to. In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the lightcurves obtained by Fermi GBM detectors. In the energy band of 8–1000 keV, no quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) signals are found in the lightcurve of the first burst 250702D, a possible QPO signal of 0.046 Hz corresponding to a period of 21.7 s is found in the lightcurve of the second burst 250702B, and a possible QPO signal of 0.024 Hz corresponding to a period of 41.7 s is found in the lightcurve of last burst 250702E. The significance level of the possible QPO signals is comprehensively examined. In addition, we examine the spectral properties of the sources. In general, a broken power law is suitable for modeling the spectral data from 8 keV to 40 MeV. We qualitatively suggest some kinds of celestial object with the periodic characteristic that might be the progenitors of this unique event.
