We report on MASTER optical observations of an afterglow-like optical and X-ray transient AT2021lfa/ZTF21aayokph. We detected the initial steady brightening of the transient at 7{\sigma} confidence level. This allowed us to use smooth optical self-similar emission of GRBs model to constrain the explosion time to better than 14 min as well as to estimate its initial Lorentz factor {\Gamma}0 = 20 +/- 10. Taking into consideration the low {\Gamma}0 and non-detection in gamma-rays, we classify this transient as the first failed GRB afterglow.

  1. Polarization of impulsive relativistic jets propagating in a stratified medium

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stratified external media reduce and slow the temporal evolution of afterglow polarization in impulsive jets, with the polarization peak near the geometrical light-curve break.
