Abstract

ABSTRACT The jet composition of GRB plays an important role in understanding the energy dissipation and radiation mechanisms in GRB physics, but it is poorly constrained from the observational data. Recently, an interesting long-duration GRB 230307A with redshift z = 0.065 has attracted great attention. The lack of detected thermal emission and mini-structure of prompt emission light curve of this burst suggest that the outflow is Poynting-flux-dominated and point towards the ICMART model. In this paper, we invoke two independent methods to investigate the jet composition of GRB 230307A. The high magnetization parameter (σ > 7 or ever large) for R0 = 1010 cm that is used to suppress thermal component, strongly suggests that a significant fraction of the outflow energy is likely in a Poynting flux entrained with the baryonic matter. Moreover, it is found that the radiation efficiency of this burst for typical values ϵe = 0.1 and ϵB = 0.01 can reach as high as $~50{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ which disfavours the internal shock model, but is consistent with ICMART model. Finally, a possible unified picture to produce GRB 230307A originated from a compact star merger is also discussed.
