A peculiar low-luminosity short gamma-ray burst from a double neutron star merger progenitor [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
A short-duration gamma-ray burst was detected along with a double neutron start merger gravitational wave by LIGO-Virgo on August 17th 2017. Here, the authors show that the fluence and spectral peak energy of this event fall into the lower portion of the

A nearby long gamma-ray burst from a merger of compact objects. [PDF]

Nature, 2022
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are flashes of high-energy radiation arising from energetic cosmic explosions. Bursts of long (greater than two seconds) duration are produced by the core-collapse of massive stars1, and those of short (less than two seconds ...

A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst [PDF]

Nature, 2023
Observationally, kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, thought to be synthesized in the merger of two compact objects1-4.

A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc [PDF]

Nature, 2022
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are divided into two populations1,2; long GRBs that derive from the core collapse of massive stars (for example, ref. 3) and short GRBs that form in the merger of two compact objects4,5.

Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Correlations [PDF]

Advances in Astronomy, 2018
The mechanism responsible for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still a debated issue. The prompt phase-related GRB correlations can allow discriminating among the most plausible theoretical models explaining this emission.

A tera–electron volt afterglow from a narrow jet in an extremely bright gamma-ray burst [PDF]

Science, 2023
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a tera–electron volt (TeV) afterglow, but the early onset of this has not been observed. We report observations with the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) of the bright GRB 221009A, which ...

A long-duration gamma-ray burst with a peculiar origin [PDF]

Nature, 2022
It is generally believed that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with massive star core collapse1, whereas short-duration GRBs are associated with mergers of compact star binaries2.
