New probes of GRB prompt emission properties using wide‐band spectroscopy by Suzaku Wide‐band All‐sky Monitor

Although the afterglow observations in HETE‐2 and Swift era have revealed a lot of afterglow properties of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs), we still have poor understanding of the prompt gamma‐ray emission, such as the emission mechanism of the prompt emission and differences between short and long duration GRBs. We have observed many prompt emission of GRBs by Suzaku Wide‐band All‐sky Monitor in wide energy range of 50–5000 keV, with very large effective area of $400 cm2$ even at 1 MeV. Furthermore, a combination of the Suzaku/WAM and Swift data provides us not only wider energy range of 15–5000 keV but also redshift information even for some short GRBs. Thanks to these information, we can firstly investigate an intrinsic correlation for short GRBs like $Epeak−Liso$ relation, and we can derive the same type of relation for time‐resolved spectra of long GRBs in finer time‐scale with higher statistics than ever before. These results could be used to discuss the differences between short and long GRBs, and our time‐resolved $Epeak−Liso$ relation also could be used as both more appropriate redshift indicator and new probe of the fireball dynamics.
