Multiwavelength properties of short gamma ray bursts with extended emission observed by Swift
M. M. Dinatolo, A. Mei, R. Brivio +11
Short gamma-ray bursts with extended emission (SGRBEEs) are a particular class of long GRBs (LGRBs) which, despite their duration, share several observational features with short G…
EP251023a: A fast X-ray transient featuring a magnetar-powered optical internal plateau followed by a steep decay
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +33
EP251023a is an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (eFXT) detected solely by EP without a gamma-ray counterpart. The prompt emission consists of a main emission with a duration $T_…
Exploring the connection between compact object mergers and fast X-ray transients: The cases of LXT 240402A and EP250207b
R. L. Becerra, Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja +29
The connection between compact object mergers and some extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) has long been hypothesized, but never ultimately established. In this work, we in…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
GRB minimum variability timescales with Fermi/GBM
R. Maccary, C. Guidorzi, A. E. Camisasca +8
Context. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have traditionally been classified by duration into long (LGRBs) and short (SGRBs), with the former believed to originate from massive star collaps…
Gamma-ray burst taxonomy: looking for the third class on the spectral peak energy-duration plane in the rest frame
Anastasia Tsvetkova, Lorenzo Amati, Mattia Bulla +8
Two classes of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), corresponding to the short/hard and the long/soft events, with a putative intermediate class, are typically considered in the observer frame…
