abstract
The 'event' that triggers a gamma ray burst cannot last for more than a few seconds. This is, however, long compared with the dynamical timescale of a compact stellar-mass object ($\sim 10^{-3}$ seconds). Energy is assumed to be released as an outflow with high mean lorentz factor $\Gamma$. But a compact stellar-mass collapse or merger is, realistically, likely to generate a mass (or energy) flux that is unsteady on some timescales in the range $10^{-3}$ - 10 seconds. If $\Gamma$ fluctuates by a factor of $\sim 2$ around its mean value, relative motions within the outflowing material will themselves (in the comoving frame) be relativistic, and can give rise to internal shocks. For $\Gamma \sim 10^2$, the resultant dissipation occurs outside the 'photosphere' and can convert a substantial fraction of the overall outflow energy into non-thermal radiation. This suggests a mechanism for cosmological bursts that demands less extreme assumptions (in respect of $\Gamma$-values, freedom from baryonic contamination, etc) than earlier proposals.

Realistic GRB parameters weaken previous ALP cooling bounds, but ALP-induced secondary fireballs in GRBs could still be probed via isotropic X-ray emission from future telescopes.
Time lags between energy bands serve as proxies for spectral evolution in GRBs, with positive lags tracing prompt emission softening and negative lags indicating a new delayed high-energy component.
GRB 250424A afterglow shows simultaneous shallow decay in X-ray and optical bands modeled as continuous energy injection (q≈0.34) into a forward shock in constant-density medium, with E_K,iso ≈5.5×10^52 erg and no clear supernova component.
