X-Ray Afterglow Plateaus of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts: Further Evidence for Millisecond Magnetars

S. X. Yi, Z. G. Dai, X. F. Wu +1

Many long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were observed by {\it Swift}/XRT to have plateaus in their X-ray afterglow light curves. This plateau phase has been argued to be evidenc…

Spin Evolution of Millisecond Magnetars with Hyperaccreting Fallback Disks: Implications for Early Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Z. G. Dai, Ruo-Yu Liu

The shallow decay phase or plateau phase of early afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), discovered by Swift, is currently understood as being due to energy injection to a relativi…

Optical and gamma-ray emissions from internal forward-reverse shocks: application to GRB 080319B?

Y. W. Yu, X. Y. Wang, Z. G. Dai

In the popular internal shock model for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), collisions between a series of relativistic shells generate lots of paired forward and rever…

Echo Emission From Dust Scattering and X-Ray Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts

L. Shao, Z. G. Dai, N. Mirabal

We investigate the effect of X-ray echo emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We find that the echo emission can provide an alternative way of understanding X-ray shallow decays and…

High energy neutrinos from magnetars

Bing Zhang, Z. G. Dai, P. Meszaros +2

Magnetars can accelerate cosmic rays to high energies through the unipolar effect, and are also copious soft photon emitters. We show that young, fast-rotating magnetars whose spin…
