The color evolution of magnetar-powered kilonova emission in merging neutron star-neutron star systems

Suo-Ning Wang, Hou-Jun Lü, Xiao-Xuan Liu +3

The first direct detection of the gravitational wave (GW) event GW170817 and its electromagnetic (EM) counterpart open a new window for studying of multi-messenger astronomy. Howev…

Signature of a magnetar central engine with precession motion in the X-ray emission of GRB 220711B

Ying-Ze Shan, Xing Yang, Hou-Jun Lü +6

The -ray light curve of long-duration GRB 220711B, is characterized by a multi-peaked structure with a duration lasting 105 seconds. More interestingly, the X-ray afterglo…

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.…
