A more probable explanation for a continuum flash in the direction of a redshift $\approx$ 11 galaxy
arXiv (Cornell University)(2021)
Abstract
Recent work reported the discovery of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) associated with the galaxy GN-z11 at $z\sim 11$. The extreme improbability of the transient source being a GRB in the very early Universe requires robust elimination of all plausible alternative hypotheses. We identify numerous examples of similar transient signals in separate archival MOSFIRE observations and argue that Solar system objects -- natural or artificial -- are a far more probable explanation for these phenomena.
