From Rare Events to a Population: Discovering Overlooked Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare Candidates in Archival Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Data
Aaron C. Trigg, Eric Burns, Michela Negro +16
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are rare, extremely bright bursts of gamma-rays from highly magnetized neutron stars. These events are challenging to identify because, at extragalacti…
Fast X-ray Transient Detection with AXIS: application to Magnetar Giant Flares
Michela Negro, Zorawar Wadiasingh, George Younes +6
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are among the most luminous high-energy transients in the local universe, consisting of a short, intense MeV gamma-ray spike followed by a softer, puls…
The Heavy Element Enrichment History of the Universe from Neutron Star Mergers with Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eric Burns, Jennifer Andrews, Robert Szabo +23
Understanding where elements were formed has been a key goal in astrophysics for nearly a century, with answers involving cosmology, stellar burning, and cosmic explosions. Since 1…
Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flares: Population Implications, Rates and Prospects for Gamma-Rays, Gravitational Waves and Neutrinos
Paz Beniamini, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Aaron Trigg +5
Magnetar Giant Flares (MGFs) are the most energetic non-catastrophic transients known to originate from stellar objects. The first discovered events were nearby. In recent years, s…
