Abstract:Rowlinson et al. recently claimed the detection of a coherent radio flash 76.6 minutes after a short gamma-ray burst (GRB). They proposed that the radio emission may be associated with a long-lived neutron star engine. We show through theoretical and observational arguments that the coherent radio emission, if real and indeed associated with GRB 201006A and at the estimated redshift, is unlikely to be due to the collapse of the neutron star, ruling out a blitzar-like mechanism. Instead, we show if a long-lived… Show more
