The discovery of GW signal from merging neutron stars by LIGO on 17th August 2017 was followed by a short GRB170817A discovered by FERMI and INTEGRAL 1.7 seconds after the loss of the GW signal when it just reached its maximum. Here we present a reproduction of the first paper (published by us in 1984) predicting a short GRB after GW signal of merging neutron stars. Our paper followed the scenario by Clark and Eardley (1977) who predicted a catastrophic disruption of a neutron star in a binary 1.7 seconds after the peak of GW signal. Our next paper in 1990 predicted all the main properties of the short GRB with quite a reasonable accuracy. Typos in English translation are corrected and a few comments are added in the current publication as numbered footnotes (the only footnote from the original paper is marked by an asterisk).

  1. Subgrid Modelling for Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics with Machine Learning

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    First neural-network subgrid model for special relativistic MHD reproduces 4x-higher-resolution magnetic field amplification in 3D Kelvin-Helmholtz tests at 44x speedup.

  2. Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers II: Inspiral, Merger and Ejecta

    astro-ph.HE 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Initial magnetic field topology, especially anti-aligned poloidal fields, strongly controls post-merger field amplification and ejecta magnetisation in neutron star merger simulations.

  3. Multi-Peaked Non-Thermal Light Curves from Magnetar-Powered Gamma-Ray Bursts

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Magnetar-powered GRBs should show three separate non-thermal emission peaks, with a pulsar wind nebula dominating radio emission for years (SN/LGRBs) or days (KN/SGRBs) after the burst.

  4. 4th TDAMM Workshop White Paper

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A community white paper arguing TDAMM science is becoming follow-up-limited, and proposing pre-negotiated community observing plans with infrastructure, policy, and capability recommendations.

  5. An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z$\sim$0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)

    astro-ph.HE 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The first KNTraP blind optical search run found no kilonovae and set a rate upper limit of R < 1.8e5 Gpc^-3 yr^-1 for AT2017gfo-like events.
