Abstract: Binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) models long gamma-ray burst (GRB) as occurring in the binary systems involving a carbon–oxygen core (CO[Formula: see text]) and a companion neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH). This model, first proposed in 2012, succeeds and improves upon the fireshell model and the induced gravitational collapse (IGC) paradigm. After nearly a decade of development, the BdHN model has reached a nearly complete structure, giving explanation to all the observables of long bursts into its theoretical framework, and has given a refined classification of long GRB according to the original properties of the progenitors. In this paper, we present a summary of the BdHN model and the physical processes at work in each of the envisaged Episodes during its occurrence and lifetime, duly contextualized in the framework of GRB observations.
