A new radiative-diffusion framework couples magnetar spin-down, shock propagation, and radiative transport to produce double-peaked, merged, or single-peaked light curves in engine-powered transients, demonstrated on LSQ14bdq.
A second coherent radio burst spanning 704-4032 MHz with spectral index -2.18, 54% linear and 22% circular polarization, and an orthogonal polarization angle jump was detected from 2XMM J104608.7-594306, showing rare radio activity in sources thought to be radio-quiet.
Fitting 80 SNe Ic-BL lightcurves with a magnetar-plus-Ni model reveals a universal ejecta-mass–spin-period anti-correlation linking SNe Ic-BL, SLSNe, and FBOTs to a common magnetar origin.
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.
EP250827b/SN 2025wkm is a new X-ray flash–supernova whose long, soft X-ray burst and double-peaked, plateauing optical light curve are best explained by a magnetar central engine interacting with a low-mass circumstellar shell.
A magnetar model unifies emission phases of supernova-associated fast X-ray transients EP240414a, EP250108a, and GRB 171205A via jet, cocoon, wind, and PWN components.
An analytical model for multiwavelength synchrotron emission from decelerated quasi-spherical ejecta with energy injection in stratified environments is developed for the deep Newtonian regime of GRB afterglows.
Simulations predict Argus and DSA will serendipitously catch GRB afterglows at rates of ~47/yr (Argus, reliable-fade metric) and ~82/yr (DSA) for Fermi/GBM LGRBs, with ~116 optical and ~217 radio orphan afterglows per year.
Stellar evolution and atmosphere models predict black hole progenitors are predominantly hot and blue with a direct-collapse rate of ~0.4 per century in a 1 Msun/yr star-forming galaxy.
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.
Long gamma-ray bursts imply a higher cosmic star formation rate density at z>6 than galaxy surveys detect, sufficient to drive reionization with moderate ionizing efficiency and escape fraction, implying a large population of undetected faint galaxies.
The paper identifies supernova emission matching a scaled SN 1998bw template in the late-time light curve of EP250302a at z=1.131, with early data constraining the jet Lorentz factor above 25.
GRB 260310A/SN 2026fgk is a spectroscopically confirmed Type Ic-BL supernova at z=0.153 with 0.4-0.6 times the luminosity of SN 1998bw, nickel mass 0.4-0.5 solar masses, ejected mass 4-6 solar masses, kinetic energy (3-8) x 10^51 erg, and located at a 15 kpc offset due to the host's extended light p
Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
No coincident GW signals found with long GRBs in O3 run; luminosity distance limits set assuming binary merger powering.
Binary evolution simulations identify short (20-500 days) and long (2000-4000 days) orbital period ranges where massive star-black hole systems retain enough angular momentum for GRB jet production with negligible mass loss.
