Strong Black Hole Natal Kicks in Magnetized Accretion-Powered Explosions
Sean E. Li, Ore Gottlieb, Brian D. Metzger
Asymmetric stellar explosions impart an impulse, or natal kick, to their compact remnants by linear momentum conservation. Black hole (BH) natal kicks are often assumed to be weake…
Dispersion Measure Variability in Fast Radio Bursts from Photoionization
Brian D. Metzger
Magnetars became favored engines of fast radio bursts (FRBs) following the discovery of a luminous radio burst coincident with a hard X-ray flare from a Galactic magnetar. Several…
GRMHD Simulations of Accreting Proto-Magnetars II. Implications for r-process Nucleosynthesis
Tejas Prasanna, Kyle Parfrey, Brian D. Metzger +3
Newly formed, rapidly spinning, strongly magnetized neutron stars ("millisecond proto-magnetars") can arise in collapsars, neutron star mergers, or white-dwarf accretion-induced co…
GRMHD Simulations of Accreting Proto-Magnetars I. Implications for Gamma-Ray Burst Jets and Energetic Explosions
Tejas Prasanna, Kyle Parfrey, Brian D. Metzger +3
Newly formed, rapidly rotating, strongly magnetized neutron stars ("millisecond proto-magnetars") are promising central engines for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and luminous supernovae.…
Relativistic outflows power a quasi-periodic eruption: constraints on energetics, mass loss, and emission mechanisms
Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Wenbin Lu +17
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…
Explaining the X-ray Precursor, Ultra-long Prompt Emission, and Week-long Decay of GRB250702B with a Jetted Micro-TDE
Fulya Kıroğlu, Taeho Ryu, Alexander Tchekhovskoy +3
The longest detected gamma-ray burst, GRB250702B, exhibited seven hours of prompt -ray emission, preceded by a soft X-ray precursor ( day earlier) and followed by a weeks…
