{ "DOI": "10.3847/2041-8213/ac0fe7", "abstract": "During 2020 April and May, SGR J1935+2154 emitted hundreds of short bursts and became one of the most prolific transient magnetars. At the onset of the active bursting period, a 130 s burst \"forest,\" which included some bursts with peculiar time profiles, were observed with the Fermi/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). In this Letter, we present the results of time-resolved spectral analysis of this burst \"forest\" episode, which occurred on 2020 April 27. We identify thermal spectral components prevalent during the entire 130 s episode; high-energy maxima appear during the photon flux peaks, which are modulated by the spin period of the source. Moreover, the evolution of the nu F (nu) spectral hardness (represented by E (peak) or blackbody temperature) within the lightcurve peaks is anti-correlated with the pulse phases extrapolated from the pulsation observed within the persistent soft X-ray emission of the source six hours later. Throughout the episode, the emitting area of the high-energy (hotter) component is 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than that for the low-energy component. We interpret this with a geometrical viewing angle scenario, inferring that the high-energy component likely originates from a low-altitude hotspot located within closed toroidal magnetic field lines.", "author": [ { "family": "Kaneko", "given": " Yuki" }, { "family": "Gogus", "given": " Ersin" }, { "family": "Baring", "given": " Matthew G." }, { "family": "Kouveliotou", "given": " Chryssa" }, { "family": "Lin", "given": " Lin" }, { "family": "Roberts", "given": " Oliver J." }, { "family": "van der Horst", "given": " Alexander J." }, { "family": "Younes", "given": " George" }, { "family": "Keskin", "given": " Ozge" }, { "family": "Coban", "given": " Omer Faruk" } ], "container_title": "ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS", "id": "234468", "issue": "1", "issued": { "date-parts": [ [ 2021, 1, 1 ] ] }, "title": "Fermi/GBM Observations of the SGRJ1935+2154 Burst Forest", "type": "article-journal", "volume": "916" }
