A kilonova following a long-duration gamma-ray burst at 350 Mpc
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are divided into two populations,; long GRBs that derive from the
core collapse of massive stars (for example, ref.) and short GRBs that form in the merger of …

Stringent constraints on neutron-star radii from multimessenger observations and nuclear theory
The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain.
These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star's size. We obtain stringent …
