Abstract

The repointing time of the XRT instrument on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory satellite has posed challenges in observing and studying the early X-ray emissions within 40\approx40 s after a gamma-ray burst (GRB) trigger. To address this issue, we adopt a novel approach that capitalizes on the cosmological time dilation in GRBs with redshifts ranging from 33 to 99. Applying this strategy to Swift/XRT data, we investigate the earliest X-ray emissions of 368368 GRBs from the Swift catalog, including short and long GRBs. We compare the time delay between the GRB trigger and the initial Swift/XRT observation, measured in the GRB observer frame (OTD) and the cosmological rest-frame (RTD). This technique is here used in the analysis of GRB 090423 at z=8.233z=8.233 (RTD 8.2\sim8.2 s), GRB 090429B at z9.4z\approx9.4 (RTD 10.1\sim10.1 s), and GRB 220101A at z=4.61z=4.61 (RTD 14.4\sim14.4 s). The cosmological time dilation enables us to observe the very early X-ray afterglow emission in these three GRBs. We thus validate the observation of the collapse of the carbon-oxygen (CO) core and the coeval newborn neutron star (ν\nuNS) formation triggering the GRB event in the binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) scenario. We also evidence the ν\nuNS spin-up due to supernova ejecta fallback and its subsequent slowing down due to the X-optical-radio synchrotron afterglow emission. A brief gravitational wave signal may separate the two stages due to a fast-spinning ν\nuNS triaxial-to-axisymmetric transition. We also analyze the long GRB redshift distribution for the different BdHN types and infer that BdHNe II and III may originate the NS binary progenitors of short GRBs.
