abstract

Recent detections of kilonova-like emission following long-duration gamma-ray bursts GRB211211A and GRB230307A have been interpreted as originating from the merger of two neutron stars. In this work, we demonstrate that these observations are also consistent with nucleosynthesis originating from a collapsar scenario. Our model accurately predicts the observed optical and infrared light curves using a single weak $r$-process component. The absence of lanthanide-rich material in our model, consistent with the data, challenges the prevailing interpretation that a red evolution in such transients necessarily indicates the presence of heavy $r$-process elements.

The GRB Intrinsic Duration Distribution: Progenitor Insights Across Cosmic Time

astro-ph.HE · 2026-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

GRB intrinsic duration distributions show a redshift-dependent plateau only at z>2 and for soft bursts, indicating collapsar dominance at high redshift and non-collapsar contributions at low redshift, with progenitor radius constrained to a few tenths of a solar radius.
