R-process nucleosynthesis from magnetar giant flares in neutron star--white dwarf mergers: A unified picture for peculiar long gamma-ray bursts
Shu-Qing Zhong, Long Li, Le Zou +3
Peculiar long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), exemplified by GRBs 211211A and 230307A, exhibit a long-duration multi-component prompt emission, an X-ray plateau in their afterglow, and a…
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…
Event Rate Density and Luminosity Function of Newborn-Magnetar-Driven X-Ray Transients from Neutron Star Binary Mergers
Le Zou, Ji-Gui Cheng, Rui-Chong Hu +2
X-ray transients (XTs) driven by newborn magnetars from mergers of neutron star binaries (NSBs) were occasionally detected in the narrow-field {\it Chandra} Deep Field-South survey…
Quasi-periodic Oscillations in GRB 210514A: a Case of a Newborn Supra-Massive Precessing Magnetar Collapsing into a Black Hole?
Le Zou, Ji-Gui Cheng
Magnetar is proposed as one of the possible central engines for a gamma-ray burst (GRB). Recent studies show that if a magnetar has a rotational axis misaligned from the magnetic o…
Early Evolution of a Newborn Magnetar with Strong Precession Motion in GRB 180620A
Le Zou, En-Wei Liang
The observed early X-ray plateau in the afterglow lightcurves of some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is attributed to the dipole radiations (DRs) of a newborn magnetar. A quasi-periodic o…
Comparison of the Characteristics of Magnetars Born in Death of Massive Stars and Merger of Compact Objects With {\em Swift} Gamma-Ray Burst Data
Le Zou, En-Wei Liang, Shu-Qing Zhong +6
Assuming that the shallow-decaying phase in the early X-ray lightcurves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is attributed to the dipole radiations (DRs) of a newborn magnetar, we present a…
GRB 101225A as Orphan Dipole Radiation of a Newborn Magnetar with Precession Rotation in an Off-Axis Gamma-Ray Burst
Le Zou, Tian-Ci Zheng, Xing Yang +5
The unusual multiwavelength lightcurves of GRB 101225A are revisited by assuming that it is from an off-axis GRB powered by a newborn magnetar. We show that its optical afterglow l…
X-ray Flares Raising upon Magnetar Plateau as an Implication of a Surrounding Disk of Newborn Magnetized Neutron Star
Tian-Ci Zheng, Long Li, Le Zou +1
The X-ray flares have usually been ascribed to long-lasting activities of the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), e.g., fallback accretion. The GRB X-ray plateaus, however,…
Early Optical Observations of GRB 150910A: Bright Jet Optical Afterglow and X-ray Dipole Radiation from a Magnetar Central Engine
Lang Xie, Xiang-Gao Wang, Song-Mei Qin +10
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 150910A was detected by {\it Swift}/BAT, and then rapidly observed by {\it Swift}/XRT, {\it Swift}/UVOT, and ground-based telescopes. We report Lick Observato…
Magnetar as Central Engine of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Quasi-Universal Jet, Event Rate and X-ray Luminosity Function of Dipole Radiations
Wen-Jin Xie, Le Zou, Hong-Bang Liu +2
Early shallow-decaying X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may be attributed to the dipole radiations of newly-born magnetars. Assuming that the GRB jets powered by magneta…
Magnetar as Central Engine of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Central Engine-Jet Connection, Wind-Jet Energy Partition, and Origin of Some Ultra-Long Bursts
Le Zou, Zi-Min Zhou, Lang Xie +5
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) central engines and jet production mechanisms are still open questions. Assuming that the shallow decay segments of canonical X-ray afterglow lightcurves of {…
Electromagnetic Emission from newly-born Magnetar Spin-Down by Gravitational-Wave and Magnetic Dipole Radiations
Hou-Jun Lü, Le Zou, Lin Lan +1
A newly-born magnetar is thought to be central engine of some long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We investigate the evolution of the electromagnetic (EM) emission from the magnetic dipo…
