Einstein Probe detects extended soft X-ray phase after short gamma-ray burst from neutron star merger
ScienceDaily says a newly formed magnetar could have powered the prolonged emission, a phase earlier missions may have missed.
TLDR
ScienceDaily describes nearly 10 minutes of soft X-ray activity after a short gamma-ray burst from a neutron-star merger, a phase earlier missions may have missed. It says the prolonged emission could have been powered by a newly formed magnetar and may provide a counterpart to gravitational-wave signals.
