Can we constrain the binary neutron star merger time from kilonova light curves?

Noah Jamsin, Marion Pillas, Marko Ristić +18

The joint observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (GW170817), together with a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova (KN, AT201…

The (missing) gamma-ray counterparts to EP events

Maria Edvige Ravasio, Ansh Chopra, Peter G. Jonker +23

While the connection of Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) detected by Einstein Probe (EP) with Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is increasingly compelling, most lack gamma-ray counterparts, leav…

X-ray Flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts at High and Very-High-Energies

Pawan Tiwari, Biswajit Banerjee, Gor Oganesyan +5

A significant fraction of GRB early afterglows exhibit fast and bright X-ray flares, discovered by Swift X-ray Telescope. Their rapid temporal variability and spectral evolution ha…

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…

Detectability of Gravitational-wave counterparts of EP-FXTs observed during the O4b LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing Run

Ansh Chopra, Samuele Ronchini, Biswajit Banerjee +5

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) detected by the Einstein Probe mission have emerged as a rapidly growing class of extragalactic transients, whose physical origin remains uncertain. Co…

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…
