Long-duration Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors and Magnetar Formation
Millisecond magnetars produced in the center of dying massive stars are one prominent model to power gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, their detailed nature remains a mystery. To explore the effects of the initial mass, rotation rate, wind mass loss, and

Remnants from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We model the intermediate time evolution of a "jetted" gamma-ray burst by two blobs of matter colliding with the interstellar medium. We follow the hydrodynamical evolution of this system numerically and calculate the bremsstrahlung and synchrotron ...

Fermi-LAT Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 130427A [PDF]
Bright Lights Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), bright flashes of gamma-ray light, are thought to be associated with the collapse of massive stars. GRB 130427A was detected on 27 April 2013, and it had the longest gamma-ray duration and one of the largest ...

HXMT identification of a non-thermal X-ray burst from SGR J1935+2154 and with FRB 200428
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short pulses observed in the radio band from cosmological distances1. One class of models invokes soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), or magnetars, as the sources of FRBs2.
