A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Brendan O'Connor +24
Observationally, Kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the fir…
Heavy element nucleosynthesis associated with a gamma-ray burst
James H. Gillanders, Eleonora Troja, Chris L. Fryer +9
Kilonovae are a novel class of astrophysical transients, and the only observationally-confirmed site of rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis (the r-process) in the Universe. To da…
GRB 211211A-like Events and How Gravitational Waves May Tell Their Origins
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Bin-Bin Zhang, Hui Sun +5
GRB 211211A is a rare burst with a genuinely long duration, yet its prominent kilonova association provides compelling evidence that this peculiar burst was the result of a compact…
Synchrotron Radiation Dominates the Extremely Bright GRB 221009A
Jun Yang, Xiao-Hong Zhao, Zhenyu Yan +30
The brightest Gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, has spurred numerous theoretical investigations, with particular attention paid to the origins of ultra-high energy TeV photons during t…
A structured jet explains the extreme GRB 221009A
B. O'Connor, E. Troja, G. Ryan +29
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful cosmic explosions, signaling the death of massive stars. Among them, GRB 221009A is by far the brightest burst ever observed. Due…
