This module contains procedures and generic interfaces for computing the Band photon distribution widely used in modeling the spectra of a class of celestial objects knowns Gamma-Ray Bursts.
The Band model is an empirical spectral model most widely used to fit GRB spectra, first proposed in Band et al. 1993, BATSE Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra. I. Spectral Diversity.
The model is continuously differentiable (i.e., its derivative is a continuous function).
It is characterized by 4 parameters:
The \(\nu F_\nu\) is the photon spectrum \(f(E)\) integrated twice over all energies ( \(E^2f(E)\)).
Therefore, \(\nu F_\nu\) represents the total energy flux per energy band (i.e., power density spectrum).
The \(\alpha\) index characterizes an asymptotic power-law (i.e., the tangential slope determined at \(E\rightarrow 0\) in a logarithmic scale).
This may not characterize the actual low-energy power-law, determined within the data energy range, when the e-folding energy denoted by \(E_{0}\) approaches the lower energy bound.
Although the model was originally constructed based on the observed time-integrated BATSE catalog spectra, it has now become common practice to use the model to fit time-resolved GRB spectra as well.
There are, however, some time-resolved spectra that cannot be adequately fitted with this model.
The Band model has the following mathematical form,
\begin{equation} \large f_{\ms{BAND}}(E) = \begin{cases} A\left(\frac{E}{100\kev}\right)^\alpha \exp\left(-\frac{\alpha - \beta}{\ebreak}E\right) &,~ \ms{if} & E < \ebreak \\ A\left[\frac{\ebreak}{100\kev}\right]^{\alpha - \beta} \exp\left(\beta - \alpha\right) \left(\frac{E}{100\kev}\right)^\beta &,~ \ms{if} & E \geq \ebreak \\ \end{cases} \end{equation}
where \(\ebreak = \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2 + \alpha}\epeak = (\alpha - \beta)\efold\) is called the break energy of the model.
The above formulation takes a unit-full input value for the energy, \(E\), at which the spectrum must be computed.
Assuming the normalization energy is unity (i.e., \(1\kev\) instead of \(100\kev\) without loss of generality), the normalized bounded unit-less formulation, corresponding to the probability density function (PDF) for arbitrary \((\alpha, \beta)\)takes the form,
\begin{equation} \large \pi_{\ms{BAND}}(x | \alpha, \beta, \xbreak) = \eta(\alpha, \beta, \xbreak) \begin{cases} x^\alpha \exp\left(-\frac{x}{\sigma}\right) &,~ \ms{if} & 0 < \ms{lb} \leq x < \xbreak \\ \zeta x^\beta &,~ \ms{if} & \xbreak \leq x < \ms{ub} < +\infty \\ \end{cases} \end{equation}
where,
When the condition \(\alpha > -1\) holds, the lower component of the distribution follows the mathematical form of the PDF of the Gamma distribution,
\begin{eqnarray} \large x^\alpha \exp\left(-\frac{x}{\sigma}\right) &=& \sigma^\alpha \left(\frac{x}{\sigma}\right)^\alpha \exp\left(-\frac{x}{\sigma}\right) \\ &=& \sigma^{\alpha + 1}\Gamma(\alpha + 1)\pi_\mathcal{G}(x | \kappa = \alpha + 1, \sigma) ~, \end{eqnarray}
