Strong Near-infrared Emission Following the Long-duration GRB 211211A: Dust Heating as an Alternative to a Kilonova

The prolonged near-infrared (NIR) emission observed following the long-duration GRB 211211A is inconsistent with afterglow emission from the shock being driven into the circumstellar medium (CSM) as well as with emission from a possible underlying supernova. It has therefore been suggested that the...
