Introduction to the Study of Gamma Ray Burst Neutron Stars cores in the solar neighborhood
Yunwei Yu Seminar
Abstract
Gamma-ray bursts are the most important explosion phenomenon in the universe, and their explosion mechanism and energy source are an important exploration target of astronomy research. In fact, their short burst time scale and huge burst energy have been closely linked to the study of dense celestial bodies, especially neutron stars, since their discovery. I will briefly introduce the different research phases experienced by the Gamma Burst Neutron Star Institute and show the progress of people’s understanding. Especially since entering the era of gravitational wave astronomy, it is possible that these neutron stars may even be related to the current very popular fast radio burst phenomenon. __________
