Discovery of high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation in short-duration gamma-ray bursts
Xing Yang, Hou-Jun Lü, Jared Rice +1
Rapidly rotating newborn magnetars, which originate from binary neutron star (NS) mergers and serve as the central engines of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), may leave some imprints…
Spin, inclination, and magnetic field evolution of magnetar population in vacuum and plasma-filled magnetospheres
Jun-Xiang Huang, Hou-Jun Lü, Jared Rice +1
Magnetars are potential energy sources or central engines for numerous transient phenomena in the Universe. How newborn magnetars evolve in different environments remains an open q…
Ejecta-circumstellar medium interaction in high-density environment contribution to kilonova emission: Application to GRB 191019A
Suo-Ning Wang, Hou-Jun Lü, Yong Yuan +4
The nearby long-duration GRB 191019A recently detected by Swift lacks an associated supernova and belongs to a host galaxy with little star formation activity, suggesting that the…
Constraining the Charge of a Black Hole with Electromagnetic Radiation from a Black Hole-Neutron Star System
Hao-Yu Yuan, Hou-Jun Lü, Jared Rice +1
Black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers are expected to emit gravitational-wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) counterparts when the NS is tidally disrupted or plunges into the BH.…
