The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

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 …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are divided into two populations,; long GRBs that derive from the
core collapse of massive stars (for example, ref.) and short GRBs that form in the merger of …

It is generally believed that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with
massive star core collapse, whereas short-duration GRBs are associated with mergers of …

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central
interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts …

We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever
observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). This GRB has continuous …

For decades, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been broadly divided into long-and short-
duration bursts, lasting more or less than 2 s, respectively. However, this dichotomy does not …

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) 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 …

ABSTRACT To date, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard Swift has detected∼ 1000
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), of which∼ 360 GRBs have redshift measurements, ranging from …
