Beta particles from r-process decay heat and ionize kilonova ejecta non-locally, so transport and detailed atomic data change the predicted temperature and ionization state.
Dust from refractory r-process elements forms efficiently in kilonova ejecta and explains the observed late-time infrared spectra.
A simulation-based inference method with Gaussian process emulators trained on 1300 kilonova simulations recovers parameters accurately and rapidly while avoiding MCMC biases from likelihood misspecification.
Machine learning on precursor emission in 366 GRBs yields a simple prompt-only index EPI that separates merger-driven from collapsar-driven bursts at a threshold of 6.2.
GRB 210704A at z=2.34 shows a luminous fast blue transient excess peaking at ~7 days, modeled as refreshed shock emission and linked to LFBOTs alongside a high-Lorentz-factor jet.
Non-LTE models for He and Sr in kilonova ejecta show that ~1% He or 1-10% Sr can reproduce the 1μm absorption feature in AT2017gfo, implying low-Ye, low-entropy r-process conditions.
SPH simulations of repeated partial disruptions in 16 WD-BH/NS systems predict three categories of periodically modulated X-ray/GRB transients whose durations and peak rates depend on mass ratio and compactness.
First blind optical identification of a z=0.153 sub-luminous GRB afterglow with Ic-BL SN, yielding a volumetric rate consistent with on-axis high-luminosity long GRBs.
SN 2025ulz, once a kilonova candidate for GW trigger S250818k, is a type IIb supernova, and type IIb shock-cooling tails should be expected as interlopers in roughly 30% of comparable GW follow-ups.
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.
Kilonova-like emissions after long GRBs GRB211211A and GRB230307A are consistent with collapsar nucleosynthesis using a single weak r-process component without lanthanide-rich material.
Treating select nuclear isomers as independent states with temperature-dependent rates in r-process networks yields predictions that the 743.3 keV Nb-97m and 555.6 keV Y-91m lines may be detectable at galactic distances by COSI, AMEGO, or LOX.
Late-time JWST/NIRCam data on GRB 250702B show a high-mass dusty host and possible ~3-sigma transient detections in two bands suggesting light-curve flattening.
Molecular dynamics simulations produce a new equation of state P(n_B, T) for warm neutron star outer crusts with tabulated data and neural network parametrization on Zenodo.
Simulations indicate that an optimized CTAO strategy could detect GeV-TeV emission from about 5% of GW-associated short GRBs, with detectability depending strongly on jet and viewing angles.
Short and long-short GRB rates of 195-666 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} exceed the 66-347 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} EM-bright NS merger rate from GW observations, challenging a pure NS merger origin.
Latest GW neutron star merger rates are consistent with short GRBs being produced by BNS mergers if jets are wide or rates low, with NSBH mergers subdominant.
No coincident GW signals found with long GRBs in O3 run; luminosity distance limits set assuming binary merger powering.
Host galaxy analysis rules out a globular cluster origin for the GRB 230307A kilonova and shows a disk-formed BNS merger with natal kicks can reach the observed offset in only 0.1% of population-synthesis realizations.
Magnetorotational r-process best explains lighter elements and CEJSN explains the third peak based on scatter and iron correlations in early metal-poor stars.
