The Astrophysical Journal, 1993 Transient emission at energies near 1 MeV has been reported by previous experiments on time scales of weeks to months from the Galactic center, the Crab Nebula, and Cyg X-1, and on shorter time-scales from NGC 4151 and Cen A. The spectra of these events call into two broad classes: a broad line-like feature centered near 1 MeV, and continuum emission ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Relativistic electrons are an essential component in many astrophysical sources, and their radiation may dominate the high-energy bands. Inverse Compton (IC) emission is the radiation mechanism that plays the most important role in these bands. The basic

Evidence for Two Distinct Populations of Kilonova-associated Gamma-Ray Bursts
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Identification of gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors based on the duration of their prompt emission ( T _90 ) has faced several roadblocks recently. Long-duration GRBs (with T _90 > 2 s) have traditionally been thought to be originating from the collapse ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 GRB 221009A has been referred to as the brightest of all time (BOAT). We investigate the veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century of prompt gamma-ray burst observations.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed ≈0.8−60 days postburst using Chandra and XMM-Newton. We provide the inferred distributions of the SGRB jet opening angles and true event rates to compare against neutron star ...

Transient sources with LST-1: study of novae, supernovae, and gamma-ray bursts
[eng] The branch of astrophysics that studies transient phenomena allows the exploration of astronomical sources that show temporal variability that can extend from a few fractions of a second to scales as long as tens of years. These transient events can give rise to a wide variety of phenomena observed throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. In some

Discovery of a transient MeV range gamma-ray source
The Astrophysical Journal, 1995 The University of California, San Diego (UCSD)/MIT hard X-ray and gamma-ray instrument on the HEAO 1 surveyed the region near the Galactic center 3 times during its lifetime in 1977-1979. During the 1977 September-October scan, a gamma-ray source was detected south of the Galactic center. The source was below the threshold sensitivity in the spring and

Hybrid Emission Modeling of GRB 221009A: Shedding Light on TeV Emission Origins in Long GRBs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observations of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with TeV emission during their afterglow have been on the rise. Recently, GRB 221009A, the most energetic GRB ever observed, was detected by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory experiment ...
