GRB 250702B in QFunity
A unique transient as EPT torsion discharge
Overview of GRB 250702B
The article « The Day-long, Repeating GRB 250702B: A Unique Extragalactic Transient » (DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/adf8e1)) describes a rare day-long repeating GRB, detected multiple times by Fermi and Einstein Probe, with X-ray emission preceding gamma bursts. QFunity interprets this as an EPT-linked progenitor with torsional discharges.
1. Summary of the Article
The event is unusual:
- Repeating over hours, triggering Fermi GRB Monitor thrice.
- X-ray detection (Einstein Probe) hours before gamma bursts.
- Total duration ~1 day, unlike standard GRBs.
This challenges standard models (hypernovae for long GRBs, mergers for short), suggesting a different progenitor and mechanism.
2. QFunity Interpretation: EPT-Linked Progenitor
QFunity suggests a compact object interfacing with the EPT, leading to torsional energy accumulation and discharges.
2.1 Progenitor: Compact Object in EPT Stress
A ultra-dense object (exotic neutron star, primordial black hole) acts as an EPT anchor, with \(\hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon\) inducing torsion stress at \(\epsilon \sim \ell_P\).
2.2 Emission Mechanism: Repeated Torsional Eruptions
Process:
- Torsion energy accumulates (\(\hat{\mathbb{B}}_\epsilon\)).
- Critical threshold triggers discharge.
- Repetition restarts the cycle, lasting ~1 day.
Proof Request:
Search for similar repeating GRBs with X-γ sequences.
2.3 Emission Sequence: X-rays First, Then Gamma
Interpretation:
V_ϵ restructures first (low-frequency X-rays), followed by B_ϵ relaxation (high-frequency gamma).
Proof Request:
Analyze X-γ delays in repeating GRBs for torsion signatures.
2.4 Rarity: Local EPT Perturbation
Requires specific density/rotation for EPT interaction.
Proof Request:
Model progenitors with EPT stress thresholds.
Conclusion
GRB 250702B is an EPT torsion discharge, validating QFunity’s framework.
