Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between
the short-and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been …

Observations show that at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) happen simultaneously
with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), thus linking by a common thread nature's two …

On 2017 August 17 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated
GW170817) with merger time 12: 41: 04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by …

We present a comprehensive optical and near-infrared census of the fields of 90 short
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) discovered in 2005–2021, constituting all short GRBs for which …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the brightest and most energetic events in the
Universe. The duration and hardness distribution of GRBs has two clusters, now understood …

The most promising astrophysical sources of kHz gravitational waves (GWs) are the inspiral
and merger of binary neutron star (NS)/black hole systems. Maximizing the scientific return …

Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and
mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after …

Two types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are observed: short-duration hard spectrum GRBs
and long-duration soft spectrum GRBs. For many years long GRBs were the focus of intense …

GRB 050709 was the first short Gamma-ray Burst (sGRB) with an identified optical
counterpart. Here we report a reanalysis of the publicly available data of this event and the …

With its rapid-response capability and multiwavelength complement of instruments, the Swift
satellite has transformed our physical understanding of γ-ray bursts (GRBs). Providing high …
