We carried out a systematic search of precursors on the sample of short GRBs observed by Swift. We found that ~8-10% of short GRBs display such early episode of emission. One burst (GRB 090510) shows two precursor events, the former ~13 s and the latter ~0.5 s before the GRB. We did not find any substantial difference between the precursor and the main GRB emission, and between short GRBs with and without precursors. We discuss possible mechanisms to reproduce the observed precursor emission within the scenario of compact object mergers. The implications of our results on quantum gravity constraints are also discussed.

  1. Astrophysics and cosmology with a decihertz gravitational-wave detector: TianGO

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A decihertz space gravitational-wave detector paired with a ground network would localize compact binary mergers far more precisely than the ground network alone, supporting standard-siren cosmology, early warning, an...

  2. Neutrino pair annihilation driven jets from black-hole torus systems

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino pair annihilation in black hole-torus systems launches relativistic fireballs with isotropic energies up to about 10^51 erg and durations around 0.1 s, which can account for faint short GRBs and GRB precursors.
