The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-…
Multiple rebrightenings in the optical afterglow of GRB 210731A: evidence for an asymmetric jet
Jin-Da Li, He Gao, Shunke Ai +1
The broadband afterglow of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is usually believed to originate from the synchrotron radiation of electrons accelerated by the external shock of relativistic je…
Polarization of gamma-ray burst afterglows in the context of non-axisymmetric structured jets
Jin-Da Li, He Gao, Shunke Ai +1
As the most energetic explosion in the universe, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are usually believed to be generated by relativistic jets. Some mechanisms (e.g. internal non-uniform magne…
Prospect of Gamma-Ray Burst Neutrino Detection with Enhanced Neutrino Detectors
Wenkang Lian, Shunke Ai, He Gao
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been proposed as a potential source of high-energy neutrinos. Although no confirmed association between GRBs and neutrinos has been established, m…
