Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after their discovery, and after pioneering breakthroughs from space and ground experiments, their study is entering a new phase with the recently launched Swift satellite. The interplay between these observations and theoretical models of the prompt gamma ray burst and its afterglow is reviewed.

  1. Detectability of Gravitational-wave counterparts of EP-FXTs observed during the O4b LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing Run

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    No gravitational-wave counterpart is statistically associated with any of 47 Einstein Probe fast X-ray transients in the O4b run; 90% exclusion distances of ~178 Mpc (BNS) and ~349 Mpc (NSBH) disfavor nearby compact-b...

  2. Ultra high-energy cosmic rays from relativistic outflows in accretion induced collapse of white dwarfs

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Relativistic outflows in accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs are modeled as sources of UHECRs, contributing a few 10^43-10^45 erg Mpc^{-3} yr^{-1} assuming iron-like nuclei and sufficient event rates.

  3. Magnetic reconnection in five-dimensional Kerr black hole

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Magnetic reconnection enables higher energy extraction efficiency from singly-rotating five-dimensional Kerr black holes than from doubly-rotating ones and can exceed the Blandford-Znajek process in the single-rotation case.

  4. Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 accept novelty 5.0

    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.

  5. Trapped fireshell (halo) of photons and pairs around black-hole horizon: source for ultra-high-energy particles

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 reject novelty 5.0

    The paper predicts a Klein-Nishina 'runaway' that accelerates electrons and protons to ultra-high energies inside a gravitationally trapped photon-pair halo, with a time-declining UHE luminosity.

  6. Extending the Comisso-Asenjo Energy Extraction Mechanism to Pure Lovelock Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    For rotating pure Lovelock black holes in 6–9 dimensions, magnetic reconnection extracts more rotational energy as dimension grows, with the 9-dimensional case most efficient and sometimes outpacing the Blandford-Znaj...

  7. Early Optical Follow-up of Gamma-Ray Bursts: The Critical Role of Robotic Telescopes

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review of early optical GRB features including prompt emission, reverse shocks, and afterglow onset, highlighting robotic telescopes' role in constraining jet Lorentz factors and magnetization.
