GRB 220101A: a most energetic erg long GRB triggered by two supernovae 3.5 seconds apart
R. Ruffini, Y. Aimuratov, L. M. Becerra +10
GRB 220101A is a long GRB, with a total energy exceeding erg with a redshift and one of the largest ever high-quality multi-wavelength observational coverage,…
On the formation of strange quark stars from supernova in compact binaries
L. M. Becerra, F. Cipolletta, A. Drago +4
Strange quark stars (SQSs), namely compact stars entirely composed of deconfined quark matter, are characterized by similar masses and compactness to neutron stars (NSs) and have b…
The long-short GRB connection
J. A. Rueda, L. Becerra, C. L. Bianco +4
Long and short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to arise from different and unrelated astrophysical progenitors. The association of long GRBs with supernovae (SNe) and the diffe…
Occurrence of gravitational collapse in the accreting neutron stars of binary-driven hypernovae
L. M. Becerra, F. Cipolletta, C. L. Fryer +4
The binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) model proposes long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate in binaries composed of a carbon-oxygen (CO) star and a neutron star (NS) companion. The CO…
