Description
In this presentation, I will delve into our recent research on Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) that deviate from standard classifications or progenitor models. These GRBs encompass a unique event originating from a magnetar giant flare, a distinct short-duration GRB not arising from a compact star merger, and a genuinely long-duration GRB resulting from a compact binary star merger. The discovery of these exceptional phenomena indicates that our current understanding of GRBs is incomplete, warranting further investigation into these extraordinary events to gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse mechanisms behind GRBs.
