A New Frequency-Luminosity Relation for Long GRBs?

Abstract

We have studied power density spectra (PDS) of 206 long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). We fitted the PDS with a simple power-law and extracted the exponent of the power-law (alpha) and the noise-crossing threshold frequency (fth). We find that the distribution of the extracted alpha peaks around -1.4 and that of fth around 1 Hz. In addition, based on a sub-set of 58 bursts with known redshifts, we show that the redshift-corrected threshold frequency is positively correlated with the isotropic peak luminosity. The correlation coefficient is 0.57 +/- 0.03.
