Multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 241030A reveals unexpected afterglow characteristics, suggesting new physics.

To explore the characteristics of the afterglow from Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 241030A and assess its emission sources.
Compiled multi-wavelength observations from gamma-ray to optical bands.
Utilized a unified photometry pipeline for data processing.
Analyzed data using Bayesian inference with two independent models.
Afterglow requires models with extreme parameter values compared to standard theory.
Findings suggest jets with large opening angles propagating in high-density environments.
Indicates significant synchrotron self-Compton radiation despite regular prompt energy.

Ducoin et al. (2026) studied this question.
