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…
A second-scale periodicity in an active repeating fast radio burst source
Chen Du, Yong-Feng Huang, Jin-Jun Geng +14
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are fierce radio flashes from the deep sky. Abundant observations have indicated that highly magnetized neutron stars might be involved in these energetic…
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…
A fast X-ray transient with chromatic flares: signatures of violent collisions induced by late-time central engine reactivation
Shao-Yu Fu, Cui-Yuan Dai, Ai-Ling Wang +57
Extragalactic Fast X-ray Transients (EFXTs) represent an emerging class of high-energy phenomena characterized by X-ray outbursts lasting from tens to hundreds of seconds. However,…
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…
