Constraining the Properties of GRB Accreting Magnetar with Evolutionary Effects Using \emph{Swift}/XRT Data

Lin Lan, He Gao, Litao Zhao +6

A newly born millisecond magnetar has been proposed as one possible central engine of some long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) with X-ray plateau. In this work, we used a universal corre…

Searching for gravitationally lensed gamma-ray bursts with their afterglows

Sheng-Nan Chen, Xu-Dong Wen, He Gao +8

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at high redshifts are expected to be gravitationally lensed by objects of different mass scales. Besides a single recent claim, no lensed GRB has been detec…

Giant X-ray and optical Bump in GRBs: evidence for fall-back accretion model

Litao Zhao, He Gao, WeiHua Lei +2

The successful operation of dedicated detectors has brought us valuable information for understanding the central engine and the progenitor of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). For instance…

The Second Plateau in X-ray Afterglow Providing Additional Evidence for Rapidly Spinning Magnetars as the GRB Central Engine

Litao Zhao, Liangduan Liu, He Gao +3

Evidence for the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been collected in the Neil Gehrels \emph{Swift} data. For instance, some GRBs show an internal X-ray plateau followed…

The shallow decay segment of GRB X-ray afterglow revisited

Litao Zhao, Binbin Zhang, He Gao +3

Based on the early-year observations from Neil Gehrels \emph{Swift} Observatory, \cite{liang07} performed a systematic analysis for the shallow decay component of gamma-ray bursts…
