GRB 221009A is one of the brightest transients ever observed with the highest peak gamma-ray flux for a gamma-ray burst (GRB). A type Ic-BL supernova (SN), SN 2022xiw, was definitively detected in late-time JWST spectroscopy (t = 195 days,…
The newly observed gamma ray burst GRB221009A exhibits the existence of 10~TeV-scale photons, and the axion-photon conversion has been suggested as a candidate to explain such energetic features of GRB221009A. In this work we adopt a model…
