New evidence suggesting magnetar origin of GRBs
How gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful and spectacular explosions known in the universe since the Big Bang, fuel their high-energy radiations? What kind of physical reactions can trigger and sustain such violent, energetic outflow? This has captivated astronomers. Over the past decades, thousands of GRBs have been observed; however, the origin and the product of the burst - the central c
