A Unified Picture of Short and Long Gamma-Ray Bursts from Compact Binary Mergers

The recent detections of the ∼10 s long γ -ray bursts (GRBs) 211211A and 230307A followed by softer temporally extended emission (EE) and kilonovae point to a new GRB class. Using state-of-the-art first-principles simulations, we introduce a unifying theoretical framework that connects binary neutro...
