The cosmological gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon is reviewed. The broad observational facts and empirical phenomenological relations of the GRB prompt emission and afterglow are outlined. A well-tested, successful fireball shock model is introduced in a pedagogical manner. Several important uncertainties in the current understanding of the phenomenon are reviewed, and prospects of how future experiments and extensive observational and theoretical efforts may address these problems are discussed.

  1. Direct Measurement of the Accretion Disk Formed in Prompt Collapse Mergers with Future Gravitational-Wave Observatories

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The postmerger ringdown frequency of promptly collapsing binary neutron star mergers is correlated with accretion disk mass, allowing a proposed 10 percent measurement with third-generation gravitational wave detectors.

  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 of 10

    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. Self-consistent scenario for jet and stellar explosion in collapsar: General relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulation with dynamo

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A collapsar disk can grow its own poloidal magnetic field through a dynamo, launching a gamma-ray-burst jet and exploding the star without a pre-existing strong poloidal field.

  4. Earliest simultaneous multi-color optical observations of GRB 230328B: from 41 seconds to the host-galaxy identification

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    New early multi-wavelength data on GRB 230328B shows afterglow with early bump and late achromatic rebrightening at ~4000 s, modeled via MCMC as forward shock plus late energy injection in a dusty S0 host with AV~0.8 ...

  5. Search for very-high-energy photons from Gamma-ray bursts with HAWC

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    No statistically significant very-high-energy emission was seen from four GRBs in HAWC's field of view, and new flux upper limits were set for each.

  6. GRB 250424A: A Case Study of Energy Injection with Multiwavelength Observations

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    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 cle...
