Short gamma-ray burst is from a binary neutron star coalescing into a black hole say researchers
...other telescopes. However, it has since been questioned by other scientists if the two events are actually linked. Short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) are a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) with a duration of 2 seconds and they undergo two different phases...

New search shows no link between gravitational waves and gamma-ray bursts
Short gamma-ray bursts have long been theorised to occur at the same time that a gravitational wave is created. These are produced ...

Gravitational waves poised to be pinpointed by gamma ray burst
...sky is unhindered by Earth’s atmosphere, it is the ideal instrument for detecting light from short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which last less than two seconds. Gamma Rays are caused by some of the most energetic events in the Universe from the collapse...

New studies reveal the origin of fast radio bursts
... radio waves have been detected. This lack of simultaneous emissions in other wavelengths suggests FRBs associated with short gamma-ray bursts are rare, say Zhang and colleagues. Zhang and team did not miss out entirely on FRBs...

Global robotic network for monitoring near-Earth and outer space
... precursors of supernovae and the appearance of kilonovae – a phenomena that occurs when two neutron stars merge. Identified by a short gamma ray burst lasting just one-tenth of a second, and shining 1000 times brighter than a nova, the true nature...

Binary stars and their extraordinary lives
...the amalgamation produces radiation that we observe in the optical and infrared as a bright kilonova transient and a short gamma-ray burst at higher energy. Models of binary stars will explain how physics works in the most extreme environments we can...
