Diverse Morphologies of GRB X-Ray Plateaus within a Common Magnetar Framework
Xiao-Fei Dong, Yong-Feng Huang, Nurimangul Nurmamat +7
The origin of the X-ray plateau phase in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remains an open problem. In particular, it is unclear whether GRBs with different temporal morphologies (i.e., with…
Gamma-Ray Bursts: Evidence for a Common Origin of X-ray Plateaus with Diverse Temporal Decay Index
Xiao-Fei Dong, Yong-Feng Huang, Chen Deng +8
A significant fraction of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit a plateau in the early X-ray afterglow light curve, whose mechanism remains uncertain. While the post-plateau normal decay…
Decoding FRB energetics and frequency features hidden by observational incompleteness
Chen-Ran Hu, Yong-Feng Huang, Jin-Jun Geng +9
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio flashes of extragalactic origin, with magnetars implicated as viable central engines. Yet their triggering and radiation mec…
Modeling the Multi-Wavelength Afterglow of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts with a Plateau Phase
Chen Deng, Yong-Feng Huang, Abdusattar Kurban +6
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibiting a plateau phase provide valuable insights into the post-merger activity of their central engines. Although the physical origin of the plate…
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…
Prospects for Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Science with eXTP
Shu-Xu Yi, Wen Zhao, Ren-Xin Xu +75
In this new era of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy, various new transients and new phenomena are constantly being discovered thanks to the rapid advances in observations,…
