Description
We investigate GRB 220101A provides , the first of a new family of long GRBs exceeding a total energy of 10^54 erg, within a newly modified BdHN model. Its exceptional luminosity is explained by a pair-supernova triggering the event, followed after ∼ 7 minutes by an induced core-collapse supernova. What makes GRB 220101A so exceptional is: (1) its redshift z = 4.61, and (2) the high-quality multiwavelength observations obtained from a large number of space-based telescopes and (3) an equally large number of ground-based telescopes. Three afterglow components are observed: (1) a GeV emission originating from the black hole, (2) an X-ray emission originating from the supernova ejecta, and (3) an optical afterglow due to the millisecond pulsar. Most exceptional is the newly formed neutron star originating 14.7 s after the pair-supernova trigger.
