Shorter bursts (less than two seconds in duration) are thought to be caused by mergers of binary systems with black holes or neutron stars. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Neutron_Star_Merge_H264_High_960x540/Neutron_Star_Merge_H264_High_960x540.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT Artist’s visualization of J1550-5418. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC.dc.xml Gamma-ray flares from SGR J1550-5418 may arise when the magnetar's surface suddenly cracks, releasing energy stored within its powerful magnetic field. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
