摘要
伽玛射线暴(简称伽玛暴)是当今天体物理领域最热门的研究领域之一。继过去几年内长时标伽玛暴(持续时标长于2秒)研究取得的不断突破,2005年以来短时标伽玛暴(短于2秒)之谜也开始被解开,短暴的双中子星并合模型第一次得到观测支持。最近还发现一个红移高达6.3的伽玛暴,这标志着伽玛暴开始成为研究高红移宇宙学的探针。本文旨在对伽玛暴研究的历史和现状作一个回顾和评述,并就爱因斯坦所创立的相对论和宇宙学具体在伽玛暴研究中的应用作一些讨论。
Gamma-ray Bursts （GRBs） is one of the hottest research fields in astrophysics. Since the great breakthrough in the researches of long GRBs （longer than 2 seconds） in the past few years, the enigma of short GRBs （shorter than 2 seconds） is now being unraveled. New observations support the neutron star binary merger model for short GRBs. A GRB with redshift 6.3 has been detected recently, which indicates that GRBs now begin to serve as probes of the high-redshift cosmology. Here we will give an overall review on the historical and current status of GRBs research field, and discuss the role of the relativity theory and cosmology founded by Einstein in GRBs researches.
