Abstract: | The spectral evolution of gamma-ray burst pulses assumed to arise from
the emission of fireballs is explored. It is found that due to the
curvature effect, the integrated flux is well related to peak energy
by a power law in the decaying phase of pulses, where the index is
about 3, which does not depend on intrinsic emission and the Lorentz
factor. The spectra of pulses in the decaying phase are slightly
different from each other when different intrinsic spectral
evolution patterns are considered, indicating that it is dominated
by the curvature effect. In the rising phase, the integrated flux
keeps increasing whilst the peak energy remains unchanged when the
intrinsic emission bears an unchanged spectrum. Within this phase,
the flux decreases with the increase of the peak energy for a
hard-to-soft intrinsic spectrum, and for a soft-to-hard-to-soft
intrinsic spectrum, the flux generally increases with the increase
of the peak energy. An intrinsic soft-to-hard-to-soft spectral
evolution within a co-moving pulse would give rise to a pulse-like
evolutionary curve for the peak energy. |
