A Novel Model for the MeV Emission Line in GRB 221009A

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been considered potential sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs; with energy ≳10 ^18 eV). In this work, we propose a novel model generating MeV emission lines in GRBs, which can constrain the properties of heavy nuclei that potentially exist in GRB jets. S...
