Stellar Sources of Gamma-ray Bursts
B.I. Luchkov
TL;DR
This paper presents evidence linking specific nearby stars to gamma-ray bursts through correlation analysis, suggesting stars as potential sources of these high-energy events.
Contribution
It provides the first statistical correlation between nearby stars and gamma-ray bursts, proposing stars as possible gamma-ray sources.
Findings
Four star-GRB coincidences with high angular accuracy
Statistically significant correlation with probability 4×10^{-5}
Discussion of additional stellar gamma-ray burst searches
Abstract
Correlation analysis of Swift gamma-ray burst coordinates and nearby star locations (catalog Gliese) reveals 4 coincidences with good angular accuracy. The random probability is 4\times 10^{-5}, so evidencing that coincident stars are indeed gamma-ray burst sources. Some additional search of stellar gamma-ray bursts is discussed.
