Core Insights - A collaborative team from Nanjing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Hong Kong has provided direct evidence of magnetar-driven gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) through high-precision observations using the "Huairou-1" satellite [1][2] - Gamma-ray bursts are among the brightest and most intense explosions in the universe, releasing energy exceeding that of the Sun's entire lifespan within seconds [1] - The breakthrough was achieved with the observation of GRB 230307A, the second brightest gamma-ray burst recorded, which posed challenges for international observation equipment due to its brightness [1] Group 1 - The "Huairou-1" satellite successfully observed a stable quasi-periodic oscillation signal with a central frequency of 909 Hz and a duration of 160 milliseconds, indicating a magnetar with a rotation period of approximately 1.1 milliseconds [1] - This observation marks the first time a stable millisecond pulsation signal has been detected in a gamma-ray burst, providing crucial evidence for understanding the nature of compact object mergers [2] Group 2 - The research team plans to continue utilizing data from various satellites, including "Jiguang," "Huiyan," "Tianguan," and SVOM, to search for quasi-periodic oscillation signals in more gamma-ray bursts [2] - The ongoing research will combine theoretical and numerical simulations to comprehensively understand the physical mechanisms behind magnetar-driven gamma-ray bursts [2]
