Generalized Linear Models of T${}_{90}$-T${}_{50}$ relation to classify GRBs

Abstract

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be classified with their linearly dependent parameters alongside the standard $T_{90}$ distribution. The Generalized linear mixture model(GLM) identifies the number of linear dependencies in a two-parameter space. Classically, GRBs are classified into two classes by the presence of bimodality in the histogram of T${}_{90}$. However, additional classes and sub-classes of GRBs are fascinating topics to explore. In this work, we investigate the GRBs classes in the $T_{90}-T_{50}$ plane using the Generalized Linear Models(GLM) for Fermi GBM and BATSE catalogs. This study shows five linear features for the Fermi GBM catalog and four linear features for the BATSE catalog, directing towards the possibility of more than two GRB classes.
