Filling the Mass Gap: How Kilonova Observations can Unveil the Nature of the Compact Object Merging with the Neutron Star
Claudio Barbieri, Om Sharan Salafia, Monica Colpi +3
In this letter we focus on the peculiar case of a coalescing compact-object binary whose chirp mass is compatible both with a neutron star-neutron star and black hole-neutron star…
Proton-synchrotron as the radiation mechanism of the prompt emission of GRBs?
G. Ghisellini, G. Ghirlanda, G. Oganesyan +6
We discuss the new surprising observational results that indicate quite convincingly that the prompt emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is due to synchrotron radiation produced by…
East Asia VLBI Network observations of the TeV Gamma-Ray Burst 190114C
Tao An, Om Sharan Salafia, Yingkang Zhang +7
Observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at Very High Energy (VHE) offer a unique opportunity to investigate particle acceleration processes, magnetic fields and radiation fields in…
The rise and fall of the high-energy afterglow emission of GRB 180720B
M. Ronchi, F. Fumagalli, M. E. Ravasio +7
The Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 180720B is one of the brightest events detected by the Fermi satellite and the first GRB detected by the H.E.S.S. telescope above 100 GeV. We analyse the…
Electromagnetic counterparts of black hole-neutron star mergers: dependence on the neutron star properties
C. Barbieri, O. S. Salafia, A. Perego +2
Detections of gravitational waves (GWs) may soon uncover the signal from the coalescence of a black hole - neutron star (BHNS) binary, that is expected to be accompanied by an elec…
Gamma-ray burst jet propagation, development of angular structure, and the luminosity function
O. S. Salafia, C. Barbieri, S. Ascenzi +1
The fate and observable properties of gamma-ray burst jets depend crucially on their interaction with the progenitor material that surrounds the central engine. We present a semi-a…
