A 4.5-s Quasiperiodic Spectral Oscillation in GRB 230307A: Evidence for Free Precession of a Post-Merger Magnetar?

Run-Chao Chen, Jun Yang, Bin-Bin Zhang +4

Millisecond magnetars, rapidly rotating neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields, have long been proposed as central engines of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). For GRBs produced by…

EP241021a: A catastrophic collapse/merger of compact star binary leading to the formation of a remnant millisecond magnetar?

Guang-Lei Wu, Yun-Wei Yu, Liang-Duan Liu +7

Observations of fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) with the Einstein Probe have successfully led to the discovery of some unusual extragalactic optical transients. EP241021a is a newly…

The multiwavelength correlations quest for central engines of GRB plateaus: magnetar vs black hole spin-down

Aleksander Ł. Lenart, Maria G. Dainotti, Nikita Khatiya +4

This manuscript presents a multilevel analysis of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We focus on the plateau phase, which is often observed in the light curves (LCs) of GRBs. We discuss its…

Stringent Search for Precursor Emission in Short GRBs from Fermi/GBM data and Physical Implications

Jie-Shuang Wang, Zong-Kai Peng, Jin-Hang Zou +2

We perform a stringent search for precursor emission of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) from the Fermi/GBM data and find 16 precursor events with significance. We find…

A unified binary neutron star merger magnetar model for the Chandra X-ray transients CDF-S XT1 and XT2

Hui Sun, Ye Li, Binbin Zhang +4

Two bright X-ray transients were reported from the Chandra Deep Field South archival data, namely CDF-S XT1 and XT2. Whereas the nature of the former is not identified, the latter…

A magnetar-powered X-ray transient as the aftermath of a binary neutron-star merger

Y. Q. Xue, X. C. Zheng, Y. Li +14

Neutron star-neutron star mergers are known to be associated with short gamma-ray bursts. If the neutron star equation of state is sufficiently stiff, at least some of such mergers…

Analysis and modelling of the multi-wavelength observations of the luminous GRB 190114C

N. Fraija, S. Dichiara, A. C. Caligula do E. S. Pedreira +4

Very-high-energy (VHE; GeV) photons are expected from the nearest and brightest Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). VHE photons, at energies higher than 300 GeV, were recently repor…

The Origin of the Prompt Emission for Short GRB 170817A: Photosphere Emission or Synchrotron Emission?

Yan-Zhi Meng, Jin-Jun Geng, Bin-Bin Zhang +9

The first gravitational-wave event from the merger of a binary neutron star system (GW170817) was detected recently. The associated short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) has a low is…

Theoretical Description Of GRB 160625B with Wind-to-ISM Transition and Implications for a Magnetized Outflow

N. Fraija, P. Veres, B. B. Zhang +7

GRB 160625B, one of the brightest bursts in recent years, was simultaneously observed by Fermi and Swift satellites, and ground-based optical telescopes in three different events s…
