An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A
Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…
Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger
An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +78
Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…
Detection of a Millisecond Periodicity in BATSE Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
Run-Chao Chen, Jun Yang, Yi-Han Iris Yin +1
Coherent oscillations at kilohertz frequencies have recently been detected in a small number of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), suggesting quasi-periodic dynamics in their central engines…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
{\tt RapidGBM}: An Efficient Tool for Fermi-GBM Visibility Checking and Data Analysis with a Case Study of EP240617a
Yun Wang, Jia Ren, Lu-Yao Jiang +15
We have developed a lightweight tool, {\tt RapidGBM}, featuring a web-based interface and capabilities of rapid calculation of Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) visibilities and…
Evidence for a brief appearance of gamma-ray periodicity after a compact star merger
Run-Chao Chen, Bin-Bin Zhang, Chen-Wei Wang +6
The product of a compact star merger is usually hypothesized to be a hyperaccreting black hole, typically resulting in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration shorter than 2~s. How…
