An internal shock model calibrated with real gamma-ray burst light curves using a genetic algorithm
Manuele Maistrello, Cristiano Guidorzi, Shiho Kobayashi +1
The paper calibrates an internal shock model for gamma‑ray burst prompt emission by using a genetic algorithm to match simulated light curves to observed data from Swift, Fermi, an…
Comparative properties of X-Ray Flashes and Gamma-Ray Bursts from BeppoSAX observations of Fast X-ray Transients
L. Piro, G. Gianfagna, J. J. M. in't Zand +5
We present the homogeneous and complete sample of 96 bona-fide Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by the Wide Field Cameras and Gamma Ray Burst Monitor of BeppoSAX. We derive the spe…
BeppoSAX-WFC catalog of fast X-ray transients
J. J. M. in 't Zand, C. Guidorzi, J. Heise +5
We performed a search for fast X-ray transients (FXTs), with durations longer than one second and less than one day, through data of the Wide Field Camera (WFC) instrument onboard…
Optical transients from non-explosive double white-dwarf mergers: the case of a central neutron star remnant
M. M. Ridha Fathima, Alexandre M. R. Almeida, Mattia Bulla +3
Discoveries of ultra-massive magnetic white dwarfs (WDs) and peculiar pulsars have been proposed to originate in double white dwarf (DWD) mergers. There are three possible post-mer…
The hidden population of long gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers
R. Maccary, C. Guidorzi, L. Amati +6
Context. The prompt-emission time profiles of GRB 230307A and other long-duration compact object merger (COM) candidates exhibit a unique set of temporal properties, characterised…
The Ep-Liso correlation: A new diagnostic tool for kilonova transients
Ruben Farinelli, Fabrizio Cogato, Mattia Bulla +10
The AT2017gfo kilonova transient remains a unique multi-messenger event thanks to its proximity (z=0.00987) and the possibility to investigate time-resolved spectra, providing evid…
