The gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB~211211A is believed to have occurred due to the
merger of two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole, despite its
duration of more than a minute. Subsequent analysis has revealed numerous
interesting properties including the possible presence of a ∼22~Hz
quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) during precursor emission. Here we perform
timing analysis of Fermi and Swift gamma-ray data on GRB~211211A and, although
we do not find a strong QPO during the precursor, we do find an extremely
significant 19.5~Hz flux oscillation, which has higher fractional amplitude at
higher energies, in a ∼0.2~second segment beginning ∼1.6~seconds
after the start of the burst. After presenting our analysis we discuss possible
mechanisms for the oscillation.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
