Phase-resolved broadband spectropolarimetry of magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 shows evolving pulse profiles, a blackbody plus two power-law spectrum, and polarization up to 64% consistent with magnetospheric pair-synchrotron emission.
The paper develops a search algorithm to find observable MeV gamma-ray peaks from r-process isotope decays in mergers and shows Rh-106 can distinguish main versus weak r-process while Tl-208 remains robust across model variations.
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.
PIC-motivated acceleration models for GRB afterglows predict a GeV-band synchrotron cutoff in low-density short GRBs that current Fermi-LAT data cannot distinguish from the Bohm limit but future observations could.

Identifying observable MeV lines from the decays of weak and main $r$-process isotopes in mergers
The paper develops a search algorithm to find observable MeV gamma-ray peaks from r-process isotope decays in mergers and shows Rh-106 can distinguish main versus weak r-process while Tl-208 remains robust across model variations.
