We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB's), short and intense pulses of low-energy γ rays, have fascinated
astronomers and astrophysicists since their unexpected discovery in the late sixties. During …

Abstract On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the
Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was …

Abstract GRB 221009A (z= 0.151) is one of the closest known long γ-ray bursts (GRBs). Its
extreme brightness across all electromagnetic wavelengths provides an unprecedented …

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in
magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field …

A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet
fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boosted by several …

The recent Fermi observation of GRB 080916C shows that the bright photosphere emission
associated with a putative fireball is missing, which suggests that the central engine likely …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been considered a possible source of high-energy
neutrinos. While no correlations have yet been detected between high-energy neutrinos and …

Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of massive stars,
but the identity of the central engine remains elusive. Previous work has shown that rapidly …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have puzzled astronomers since their accidental discovery in the
late 1960s. The BATSE detector on the COMPTON-GRO satellite has been detecting one …
