Insight-HXMT dedicated 33-day observation of SGR J1935+2154 II. Burst Spectral Catalog

Published 15 Apr 2022 in astro-ph.HE | (2204.07369v1)

Abstract: Since April 28, 2020, Insight-HXMT has implemented a dedicated observation on the magnetar SGR J1935+2154. Thanks to the wide energy band (1-250 keV) and high sensitivity of Insight-HXMT, we obtained 75 bursts from SGR J1935+2154 during a month-long activity episode after the emission of FRB 200428. Here, we report the detailed time-integrated spectral analysis of these bursts and the statistical distribution of the spectral parameters. We find that for 15%(11/75) of SGR J1935+2154 bursts, the CPL model is preferred, and most of them occurred in the latter part of this active epoch. In the cumulative fluence distribution, we find that the fluence of bursts in our sample is about an order of magnitude weaker than that of Fermi/GBM, but follows the same power law distribution. Finally, we find a burst with similar peak energy to the time-integrated spectrum of the X-ray burst associated with FRB 200428 (FRB 200428-Associated Burst), but the low energy index is harder.
