Short-duration gamma-ray bursts
E Berger - Annual review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between
the short-and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been …

Signatures of magnetar central engines in short GRB light curves
A significant fraction of the long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) in the Swift sample have a
plateau phase showing evidence of ongoing energy injection. We suggest that many short …

Short-hard gamma-ray bursts
E Nakar - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
Two types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are observed: short-duration hard spectrum GRBs
and long-duration soft spectrum GRBs. For many years long GRBs were the focus of intense …

A long-lived neutron star merger remnant in GW170817: constraints and clues from X-ray observations
Multimessenger observations of GW170817 have not conclusively established whether the
merger remnant is a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS). We show that a long-lived …
