Evidence for two distinct populations of kilonova-associated gamma-ray bursts
K Misra, KG Arun - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
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) …

Gamma-ray burst precursors from tidally resonant neutron star oceans: potential implications for GRB 211211A
Precursors have been observed seconds to minutes before some short gamma-ray bursts.
While the precursor origins remain unknown, one explanation relies on the resonance of …

GRB 211211A-like Events and How Gravitational Waves May Tell Their Origins
GRB 211211A is a rare burst with a genuinely long duration, yet its prominent kilonova
association provides compelling evidence that this peculiar burst was the result of a compact …

The origin of the coherent radio flash potentially associated with GRB 201006A
Rowlinson et al. 2023 recently claimed the detection of a coherent radio flash 76.6 minutes
after a short gamma-ray burst. They proposed that the radio emission may be associated …
