Abstract
- We overview the current status of the stripping model for short gamma-ray bursts. After the historical joint detection of the gravitational wave event GW170817 and the accompanying gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, the relation between short gamma-ray bursts and neutron star mergers has been reliably confirmed. Many properties of GRB170817A, which turned out to be peculiar in comparison with other short gamma-ray bursts, are naturally explained in the stripping model, suggested by one of us in 1984. We point out the role of late Dmitriy Nadyozhin (1937–2020) in predicting the GRB and kilonova properties in 1990. We also review the problems to be solved in the context of this model.
