Analyzing GRB 080916C with Fermi-GBM

Alt text (NASA/Swift/Cruz deWilde)

To demonstrate the capabilities and features of 3ML in, we will go through a time-integrated and time-resolved analysis. This example serves as a standard way to analyze Fermi-GBM data with 3ML as well as a template for how you can design your instrument’s analysis pipeline with 3ML if you have similar data.

3ML provides utilities to reduce time series data to plugins in a correct and statistically justified way (e.g., background fitting of Poisson data is done with a Poisson likelihood). The approach is generic and can be extended. For more details, see the time series documentation.

Examining the catalog

As with Swift and Fermi-LAT, 3ML provides a simple interface to the on-line Fermi-GBM catalog. Let’s get the information for GRB 080916C.

[4]:
gbm_catalog = FermiGBMBurstCatalog()
gbm_catalog.query_sources("GRB080916009")

To aid in quickly replicating the catalog analysis, and thanks to the tireless efforts of the Fermi-GBM team, we have added the ability to extract the analysis parameters from the catalog as well as build an astromodels model with the best fit parameters baked in. Using this information, one can quickly run through the catalog an replicate the entire analysis with a script. Let’s give it a try.

Downloading the data

We provide a simple interface to download the Fermi-GBM data. Using the information from the catalog that we have extracted, we can download just the data from the detectors that were used for the catalog analysis. This will download the CSPEC, TTE and instrument response files from the on-line database.

[7]:
dload = download_GBM_trigger_data("bn080916009", detectors=gbm_detectors)

Let’s first examine the catalog fluence fit. Using the TimeSeriesBuilder, we can fit the background, set the source interval, and create a 3ML plugin for the analysis. We will loop through the detectors, set their appropriate channel selections, and ensure there are enough counts in each bin to make the PGStat profile likelihood valid.

  • First we use the CSPEC data to fit the background using the background selections. We use CSPEC because it has a longer duration for fitting the background.

  • The background is saved to an HDF5 file that stores the polynomial coefficients and selections which we can read in to the TTE file later.

  • The light curve is plotted.

  • The source selection from the catalog is set and DispersionSpectrumLike plugin is created.

  • The plugin has the standard GBM channel selections for spectral analysis set.

Setting up the fit

Let’s see if we can reproduce the results from the catalog.

Set priors for the model

We will fit the spectrum using Bayesian analysis, so we must set priors on the model parameters.

[9]:
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.alpha.prior = Truncated_gaussian(
    lower_bound=-1.5, upper_bound=1, mu=-1, sigma=0.5
)
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.beta.prior = Truncated_gaussian(
    lower_bound=-5, upper_bound=-1.6, mu=-2.25, sigma=0.5
)
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.break_energy.prior = Log_normal(mu=2, sigma=1)
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.break_energy.bounds = (None, None)
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.K.prior = Log_uniform_prior(
    lower_bound=1e-3, upper_bound=1e1
)
model.GRB080916009.spectrum.main.shape.break_scale.prior = Log_uniform_prior(
    lower_bound=1e-4, upper_bound=10
)

Clone the model and setup the Bayesian analysis class

Next, we clone the model we built from the catalog so that we can look at the results later and fit the cloned model. We pass this model and the DataList of the plugins to a BayesianAnalysis class and set the sampler to MultiNest.

[10]:
new_model = clone_model(model)

bayes = BayesianAnalysis(new_model, DataList(*fluence_plugins))

# share spectrum gives a linear speed up when
# spectrumlike plugins have the same RSP input energies
bayes.set_sampler("multinest", share_spectrum=True)
         INFO      sampler set to multinest                                                bayesian_analysis.py:186

Examine at the catalog fitted model

We can quickly examine how well the catalog fit matches the data. There appears to be a discrepancy between the data and the model! Let’s refit to see if we can fix it.

[11]:
fig = display_spectrum_model_counts(bayes, min_rate=20, step=False)
../_images/notebooks_grb080916C_18_0.png

Run the sampler

We let MultiNest condition the model on the data

But how different are we from the catalog model? Let’s plot our fit along with the catalog model. Luckily, 3ML can handle all the units for is

[14]:
conversion = u.Unit("keV2/(cm2 s keV)").to("erg2/(cm2 s keV)")
energy_grid = np.logspace(1, 4, 100) * u.keV

    "erg2/(cm2 s keV)"
)
[15]:

ax = fig.get_axes()[0]
_ = ax.loglog(energy_grid, vFv, color="blue", label="catalog model")
../_images/notebooks_grb080916C_25_2.png

Time Resolved Analysis

Now that we have examined fluence fit, we can move to performing a time-resolved analysis.

Selecting a temporal binning

We first get the brightest NaI detector and create time bins via the Bayesian blocks algorithm. We can use the fitted background to make sure that our intervals are chosen in an unbiased way.

[16]:
n3 = time_series["n3"]
[17]:
n3.create_time_bins(0, 60, method="bayesblocks", use_background=True, p0=0.2)
22:52:22 INFO      Created 15 bins via bayesblocks                                       time_series_builder.py:632

Sometimes, glitches in the GBM data cause spikes in the data that the Bayesian blocks algorithm detects as fast changes in the count rate. We will have to remove those intervals manually.

Note: In the future, 3ML will provide an automated method to remove these unwanted spikes.

[18]:
fig = n3.view_lightcurve(use_binner=True)
../_images/notebooks_grb080916C_30_0.png
[19]:
bad_bins = []
for i, w in enumerate(n3.bins.widths):

    if w < 5e-2:
        bad_bins.append(i)


edges = [n3.bins.starts[0]]

for i, b in enumerate(n3.bins):

    if i not in bad_bins:
        edges.append(b.stop)

starts = edges[:-1]
stops = edges[1:]


n3.create_time_bins(starts, stops, method="custom")
         INFO      Created 12 bins via custom                                            time_series_builder.py:632

Now our light curve looks much more acceptable.

[20]:
fig = n3.view_lightcurve(use_binner=True)
../_images/notebooks_grb080916C_33_0.png

The time series objects can read time bins from each other, so we will map these time bins onto the other detectors’ time series and create a list of time plugins for each detector and each time bin created above.

[21]:
time_resolved_plugins = {}

for k, v in time_series.items():
    v.read_bins(n3)
    time_resolved_plugins[k] = v.to_spectrumlike(from_bins=True)

Setting up the model

For the time-resolved analysis, we will fit the classic Band function to the data. We will set some principled priors.

[22]:
band = Band()
band.alpha.prior = Truncated_gaussian(lower_bound=-1.5, upper_bound=1, mu=-1, sigma=0.5)
band.beta.prior = Truncated_gaussian(lower_bound=-5, upper_bound=-1.6, mu=-2, sigma=0.5)
band.xp.prior = Log_normal(mu=2, sigma=1)
band.xp.bounds = (None, None)
band.K.prior = Log_uniform_prior(lower_bound=1e-10, upper_bound=1e3)
ps = PointSource("grb", 0, 0, spectral_shape=band)
band_model = Model(ps)

Perform the fits

One way to perform Bayesian spectral fits to all the intervals is to loop through each one. There can are many ways to do this, so find an analysis pattern that works for you.

[23]:
models = []
results = []
analysis = []
for interval in range(12):

    # clone the model above so that we have a separate model
    # for each fit

    this_model = clone_model(band_model)

    # for each detector set up the plugin
    # for this time interval

    this_data_list = []
    for k, v in time_resolved_plugins.items():

        pi = v[interval]

        if k.startswith("b"):
            pi.set_active_measurements("250-30000")
        else:

Finally, we can plot the models together to see how the spectra evolve with time.

This example can serve as a template for performing analysis on GBM data. However, as 3ML provides an abstract interface and modular building blocks, similar analysis pipelines can be built for any time series data.
