We present a theoretical study of double compact objects as potential short/hard gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors. An updated population synthesis code StarTrack is used to calculate properties of double neutron stars and black-hole neutron star binaries. We obtain their formation rates, estimate merger times and finally predict their most likely merger locations and afterglow properties for different types of host galaxies. Our results serve for a direct comparison with the recent HETE-II and SWIFT observations of several short bursts, for which afterglows and host galaxies were detected. We also discuss the possible constraints these observations put on the evolutionary models of double compact object formation. We emphasize that our double compact object models can successfully reproduce at the same time short GRBs within both young, star-forming galaxies (e.g., GRB 050709 and GRB 051221A), as well as within old, elliptical hosts (e.g., GRB 050724 and probably GRB 050509B)

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Mass ratio reversals produce qualitatively different contributions to BBH merger rates and masses in COMPAS versus SEVN simulations, with core-growth dominating and most systems arising from massive low-metallicity pr...

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A multi-wavelength study of GRB 200524A reports a dense ISM environment with a high kinetic energy and a large magnetic-field energy fraction, inferred from forward plus reverse shock modeling.

  3. Cosmological constraints and standard sirens forecasts for non-dynamical dark energy in Horndeski gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Standard sirens from third-generation detectors could measure H0 to 0.21% in Extended Cuscuton models, but the forecast omits the modified GW luminosity distance.

  4. Short-duration gamma-ray bursts from Kerr-Newman black hole mergers

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

    A Kerr-Newman black hole produced by a binary black hole merger, with a magnetized disk, can power a short gamma-ray burst via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, and the model is applied to GW150914.

  5. A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper proposes a high-redshift (z>2) origin for GRB 061201 by combining afterglow constraints with deep JWST near-infrared imaging of a faint candidate host.
