    So I wonder, even if it’s only appearing very briefly it’s still going to exert some small gravitational effect.

    I don’t think so. Remember: This is energy being converted to mass, not mass coming out of nowhere.

      Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no? And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?

        Yes.

        I don’t know about this one. I’m not an expert so don’t quote he on it, but I don’t remember hearing this before.
