We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

Prediction of the soft X-ray absorption along lines of sight through our Galaxy is crucial for
understanding the spectra of extragalactic sources, but requires a good estimate of the …

THESEUS is a space mission concept aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for
investigating the early Universe and at providing a substantial advancement of multi …

We present comprehensive multiwavelength observations of three gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs) with durations of several thousand seconds. We demonstrate that these events are …

We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96
galaxies selected by long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) at 0.1< z< 3.6, the largest sample of GRB host …

We present multiwavelength observations of the afterglow of GRB 130427A, the brightest (in
total fluence) gamma-ray burst (GRB) of the past 29 yr. Optical spectroscopy from Gemini …

Well before the afterglow era, Paczynski (1986) noted that “cosmological” distances of GRBs
would imply that the energy release in gamma rays would be comparable to the energy …

Abstract Approximately 1/4–1/2 of short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are followed by
variable X-ray emission lasting∼ 100 s with a fluence comparable or exceeding that of the …

The light from a shock breakout of stellar explosions, which carries a wealth of information,
strongly depends on the shock velocity at the time of the breakout. The emission from …
