Extending the Correlation of $L_R-L_X$ to Gamma Ray Bursts

Abstract

The well-known correlation between the radio luminosity ($L_R$) and the X-ray luminosity ($L_X$) $L_R/L_X\simeq 10^{-5}$ holds for a variety of objects like active galactic nuclei, galactic black holes, solar flares and cool stars. Here we extend the relation to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and find the GRBs also lay on the same $L_R-L_X$ relation, with a slightly different slope as $L_R\propto L_X^{1.1}$. This relation implies the explosions in different scales may have a common underlying origin.
