Hypothesis The primary output of GRB is
gamma rays and pairs. GRB spectra are
intrinsically similar – peaking at about 1
MeV, and the apparent difference is due to
viewing angle effects.

Observer outside of extended beam – offset angle less than or comparable to opening angle of beam - sees diminished Eiso and peak as per the Amati et al relation, However, there must be many such viewers. So consider a beam shape that accommodates many such viewers by having lots of perimeter relative to solid angle….e.g. annulus.
X-ray flashes predicted to be as frequent as GRB if beam has a non-trivial morphology
e.g. annulus.

Choosing an annulus with outer opening angle
about 0.1 radians ,
thickness about 0.03, and ~ 102 ,
and standard cosmology
gives a distribution of ( cosmological redshift
uncorrected ) Epeak that is flat, as observed
(Eichler and Levinson 2004).

Apparent Gamma ray efficiencies (i.e. apparent gamma ray energy E to . apparent blast energy EK)
![Page 17: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Plotting gamma ray efficiency E/EB– gamma
ray energy to inferred blast energy - with and
without viewing angle correction shows a
qualitative difference in the ordering of the data.
(Eichler and Jontof-Hutter 2005)
With the viewing angle correction the gamma
ray efficiencies separate into two classes. The
majority (17/22, pre-Swift) has E/EB ~ 7, much
higher than estimate without a viewing angle
correction.
![Page 18: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The other - 5 outliers of total sample of 22 (pre-Swift) GRB’s with known redshifts - has E/EB ~102. (Even higher)
Note that all outliers have E/EB >> 1. No outliers in the other direction yet. So even though X-ray afterglow is almost always seen, it does not always show a baryonic output that compares in total energy to the prompt gamma ray emission.
![Page 19: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So viewing angle correction, assuming universality among primary GRB output,
a) reduces scatter in Eprompt,/EK
b) raises its value
![Page 20: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Why is the Ghirlanda relation different from the Amati relation?

Inferred opening angle (x-axis) overbiased for soft GRB?
![Page 27: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If afterglow theory is correct INFERRED opening
angle is overestimated for off-beam viewing by peak1/4
.
This explains the peak1/2 difference between the Amati
and Ghirlanda relations (Levinson and Eichler 2005).
![Page 28: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

= K tb3/8EB
-1/8, so the “beaming correction”
made by Frail, [K tb3/8Eiso
-1/8 ]2, should be
proportional to (Eiso/EB)1/4 or peak1/2. which is
exactly the difference between the Amati and
Ghirlanda relations!.
Does this support the physical interpretations of
=K tb3/8EB
-1/8 and Eiso/ peak2 ?
What we know is that Eiso [K tb3/8Eiso
-1/8 ]2 and
Eiso/ peak2 each have considerably less scatter than
Eiso, peak2 separately. If you believe that each has a
physical basis, then you probably have to believe
that the Ghirlanda relation differs from the Amati
one by peak1/2
![Page 30: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What we know is that (Frail) Eiso [K tb3/8Eiso
-1/8 ]2, (i.e.
tb3/4Eiso
3/4 ) and (Amati et al) Eiso/peak2 (Eiso
3/4/peak3/2 ) each
have considerably less scatter than Eiso, peak2 separately. If
you believe each separately, then you probably have to
believe the Ghirlanda relation, tb3/4Eiso
3/4 /peak3/
2 .
![Page 31: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
.
Although this is a mathematical tautology, it makes sense that opening angle (function of host star?) and viewing angle should vary from one GRB to the next, even if spectra and primary energy output are universal.
Accounting for each reduces the scatter; accounting for both reduces scatter even more.
![Page 32: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
So, with the viewing angle interpretation, most
everybody should be happy.
Amati et al and Ghirlanda et al should both be
happy because they are both right.
Frail et al should be happy that an additional
effect, besides opening angle correction,
explains residual dispersion in Eiso.
![Page 33: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Viewing angle proponents should be happy that
no ad hoc intrinsic dependence of peak needs to
be invoked to understand Amati et al relations
and the like.
![Page 34: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why is X-ray afterglow almost always seen within several hours?
![Page 35: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Because the 1/ spread in the afterglow emission
cone is wider, after several hours, than that of the
prompt emission, and is wide enough to cover
most relevant viewing angles.

Off set viewer sees slower decline (or possibly rise) in X-ray afterglow during several minutes to hours than on beam viewer. (Eichler 2005)

Many authors had predicted delayed afterglow for offset viewers.
The surprise from Swift was that is came even when the gamma ray emission was bright and hard (e.g. GRB 050315).
One interpretation: Gamma-ray bright, baryon poor line of sight (not expected if baryon KE is primary). Supported by Dec. 27, 2004 giant flare from SGR 1806-20. Prompt gamma rays could not have been seen if they had been mixed in with the baryons.

Why are prompt emission and baryon KE consistently so close to each other in energy?
![Page 53: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Why are prompt emission and baryon KE consistently so close to each other in energy?
Because radially-combed, then scattered radiation always imparts half its (momentum, and therefore…) energy to a relativistic scattering cloud. So slow baryons and prompt gamma rays get equal amounts
![Page 54: The Primary Output of GRBs David Eichler. My collaborators: Amir Levinson Jonathan Granot Hadar Manis Don Ellison (if time)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070402/56649f265503460f94c3e12b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Radiation scattered to very large viewing angles by slow baryons is expected to some degree in most GRB models. It produces scatter in Eiso but without changing the spectrum, or the observed break time (if there is one) so it introduces one sided scatter in both the Frail and Amati relations. The scatter is always in the direction of hard or underluminous GRB.
The burst duration is biased toward shorter GRB. Vmax is lower than for small viewing angles, so these bursts should be less frequent.

“We find that the pulses we study are consistent
with a thermal blackbody radiation throughout their
duration and that the temperature kT can be well
described by a broken power law as a function of
time, with an initially constant temperature or weak
decay (~100 keV). After the break, most cases are
consistent with a decay with index -2/3.”

Are short bursts really short? Why should there be two types of central engines?
Maybe they are just seen at large viewing angles and scattered into line of sight by slow baryon clouds.

Search for (rare) orphan breakout flashes? When GRB fireball is just clearing away last of host star envelope. (Rare because they are wide angle, low fluence events. Coincidence with smothered neutrino burst?)

Can dearth of early afterglow be because ultrarelativistic shocks do not accelerate particles diffusively?
(If so, why does the Crab Nebula – which is both a termination shock AND an ultrarelativistic shock, display such excellent non-thermal particle acceleration?)

Can dearth of early afterglow be because ultrarelativistic shocks do not accelerate particles diffusively?
(If so, why does the Crab Nebula – which is both a Q-perp termination shock AND ultrarelativistic, display such excellent non-thermal particle accelerations?)
Possibly because of difference between diffusive shock acceleration, where particles catch the shock, and stochastic shock acceleration (Schatzman 1962), where particles are scattered WHILE in contact with the shock.

Condition for thermal injection – Q-parallel geometry (Edmiston, Kennel and Eichler 1982) - becomes condition for diffusive shock acceleration for ultrarelativistic shocks, because all particles must travel at most at c.

ConclusionsBaryon kinetic energy may be merely the tail that gets wagged (contrary to the inner shock model).
The primary dog is electromagnetic. (e.g. giant SGR flares.)
The baryons are sprinkled in and accelerated by the gamma radiation, leading to diversity of individual GRB “fingerprints” in light curves.
The primary gamma ray spectrum is a universal one, and variation among GRB spectral peaks is attributable to viewing angle effects.

Implications of the viewing angle interpretation:
• Most of emission is in gamma rays. Only about 15 percent in blast. Gamma rays may energize baryons rather than the reverse. About 10% of energy goes into baryons.
• Sometimes only 10-2 or less in blast (baryon-poor line of sight?). At early times, when afterglow cone is narrow, this is not uncommon.
• Intrinsic spectrum peaks at ~1 MeV, as expected from a pair annihilation photosphere (Levinson and Eichler 1999).
• Non-simple jet topology (e.g. annulus) gives best fit to data.

Non-simple jet topology (e.g. annulus) gives best fit to data on relative XRF , GRB rate.
FRED’s can be explained as scattered radiation from accelerating baryon clouds.
Dearth of X-ray afterglow at early times can be attributed to viewer offset effect, or to failure of ultrarelativistic shocks to accelerate particles stochastically.
Sharp X-ray flaring may be just favorable fluctuations in the magnetic geometry.
