Key Points

  • The aim is to improve the precision of empirical correlations associated with gamma-ray bursts through advanced spectral analysis.
  • Analyzed 37 gamma-ray bursts detected by Fermi's GBM and LAT from 2008 to 2024.
  • Utilized both traditional and novel spectral models for data fitting.
  • Compared results between joint fits (GBM–LAT–LLE) and GBM-only fits.
  • Refined the Amati and Yonetoku relations by reducing uncertainties in spectral indices and peak energy.
  • Demonstrated improved precision in estimating total isotropic energy and isotropic luminosity from the bursts.

Abstract

Abstract Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have emerged as powerful cosmological probes for exploring the distant Universe, owing to their immense luminosities and detectability at high redshifts. Several empirical correlations have been established, particularly involving their energy properties. This work aims to enhance the precision of these correlations through joint spectral analysis, focusing on reducing uncertainties in both the spectral indices and the peak energy (Ep) derived from spectral fitting. We extend previous studies using both traditional and novel spectral models, utilizing a sample of 37 GRBs observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT), incorporating the LAT Low-Energy (LLE) technique, over the period 2008–2024. Our analysis compares results from joint fits (GBM–LAT–LLE) against those from GBM-only fits. The study focuses on fitting time-integrated T90 and peak flux in the rest frame. Among the observable phenomenological correlations, we revisit the Amati and Yonetoku relations: the Amati relation links the intrinsic peak energy (E₈, ₏) to the total isotropic energy (Eiso) emitted during T90, while the Yonetoku relation connects E₈, ₏ to the isotropic luminosity (Liso). Refining these correlations aims to deepen our understanding of GRB energetics and improve the precision of cosmological parameter estimates derived from GRB observations.
