The ultra-fast afterglow of GRB 260226A
Biswajit Banerjee, Alessio Mei, Annarita Ierardi +13
The paper presents Fermi LAT observations of GRB 260226A that captured an unprecedented number of >100 MeV photons, enabling a detailed reconstruction of the early afterglow which…
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…
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 a…
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…
GeV emission from a compact binary merger
Alessio Mei, Biswajit Banerjee, Gor Oganesyan +9
An energetic -ray burst (GRB), GRB 211211A, was observed on 2021 December 11 by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Despite its long duration, typically associated with bur…
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…
