The ultra-fast afterglow of GRB 260226A

Biswajit Banerjee, Alessio Mei, Annarita Ierardi +13

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are typically powered by relativistic jets launched after the core collapse of some rapidly rotating massive stars. Internal dissipation releases par…

Detection of TeV emission during early afterglow from poorly localized GRBs with ground based IACTs

S. Macera, B. Banerjee, M. Seglar-Arroyo +10

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most luminous and rapidly evolving transients in the Universe. While space-based instruments have extended GRB observations up to energies of…

MeV absorption in gamma-ray bursts as a probe of their progenitor environments

Gor Oganesyan, Om Sharan Salafia, Emanuele Sobacchi +8

A small fraction of X-ray photons from -ray bursts (GRBs), after escaping the relativistic jet, are scattered by electrons in the circumburst medium. Subsequent photon-photon ab…

Broadband Modelling of GRB 230812B Afterglow: Implications for VHE -ray Detection with IACTs

Shraddha Mohnani, Biswajit Banerjee, Davide Miceli +13

A significant fraction of the energy from the -ray burst (GRB) jets, after powering the keV-MeV emission, forms an ultra-relativistic shock propagating into the circumburst medi…

Ultra-long MeV transient from a relativistic jet: a tidal disruption event candidate

Gor Oganesyan, Elias Kammoun, Annarita Ierardi +11

On July 2, 2025, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray space telescope detected three short-duration MeV transients with overlapping sky locations. These ev…

Gamma-ray burst prompt emission spectra at high energies

Samanta Macera, Biswajit Banerjee, Alessio Mei +3

Despite more than fifty years of gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations, several questions regarding the origin of the prompt emission, particularly at high energies, remain unresolved…

Gamma-ray burst spectral-luminosity correlations in the synchrotron scenario

Alessio Mei, Gor Oganesyan, Samanta Macera

For over two decades, gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission spectra were modelled with smoothly-broken power laws (Band function), and a positive and tight correlation between the…

Camelidae on BOAT: observation of a second spectral component in GRB 221009A

Biswajit Banerjee, Samanta Macera, Alessio Ludovico De Santis +8

Observing and understanding the origin of the very-high-energy (VHE) spectral component in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been challenging because of the lack of sensitivity in MeV-Ge…

A bright megaelectronvolt emission line in -ray burst GRB 221009A

Maria Edvige Ravasio, Om Sharan Salafia, Gor Oganesyan +13

The highly variable and energetic pulsed emission of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to originate from local, rapid dissipation of kinetic or magnetic energy within an ultr…
