Astronomers Discover Never-Before-Seen Way To Destroy a Star

Astronomers studying a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) with the Gemini South telescope, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, may have detected a never-before-seen way to destroy a star. Unlike most GRBs, which are caused by exploding massive stars or the chance mergers of neutron stars, astronomers have conclu

Does this relate to any of our DC projects?

I'd say no. Looks like they were doing a follow-up study of a GRB found previously. The original GRB however, may be DC related, Einstein, if so.

EDIT: I mistook G for gravity, instead of gamma, not Einstein related then.

From what I understand, Einstein@home looks at periodic gamma ray signals from spinning neutron stars (among other kinds of signals, notably gravitational waves) — whereas the findings in the article are based on a one-off signal and its "afterglow".
