Scientists have captured a gamma-ray burst within minutes of its detonation using the Submillimeter Array, marking a record-fast response. Recent observations confirm some bursts originate from collapsing neutron stars, while researchers investigate whether others could involve white dwarf-black hole pairs, including the longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded.
·Submillimeter Array detected a gamma-ray burst in 13 minutes, the fastest response yet
·Two gamma-ray bursts confirmed to have originated from collapsing neutron stars
·Scientists propose a white dwarf-black hole pair may explain an unusually long gamma-ray burst
·Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers uncovered new insights into gamma-ray burst mechanisms
·An enormous explosion in deep space was caught within minutes of detonation
