An energetic dirty fireball detected in soft X-rays
C. -Y. Dai, J. Quirola-Vásquez, Y. -H. Wang +76
The collapse of massive stars drives explosions that power relativistic fireballs. If only a small amount of matter is entrained, such clean fireballs can expand with Lorentz facto…
Magnetar emergence in a peculiar gamma-ray burst from a compact star merger
H. Sun, C. -W. Wang, J. Yang +42
The central engine that powers gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe, is still not identified. Besides hyper-accreting black holes, rapidly spinning…
A hyper flare of a weeks-old magnetar born from a binary-neutron-star merger
B. -B. Zhang, Z. J. Zhang, J. -H. Zou +10
Magnetars, a population of isolated neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields of G, have been increasingly accepted to explain a variety of astrophysic…
A fast radio burst source at a complex magnetised site in a barred galaxy
H. Xu, J. R. Niu, P. Chen +71
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly dispersed millisecond-duration radio bursts. Recent observations of a Galactic FRB suggest that at least some FRBs originate from magnetars, but…
A Peculiarly Short-duration Gamma-Ray Burst from Massive Star Core Collapse
B. -B. Zhang, Z. -K. Liu, Z. -K. Peng +17
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been phenomenologically classified into long and short populations based on the observed bimodal distribution of duration. Multi-wavelength and multi-m…
