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 are most luminous explosions in the universe. Their ejecta are believed
to move towards Earth with a relativistic speed. The interaction between this “relativistic jet” …

The afterglow of the binary neutron-star merger GW170817 gave evidence for a structured
relativistic jet,,,–and a link,, between such mergers and short gamma-ray bursts …

Subarcsecond localization of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 revealed its
coincidence with a dwarf host galaxy and a steady (" quiescent") nonthermal radio source …

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 …

Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of massive stars,
but the identity of the central engine remains elusive. Previous work has shown that rapidly …

Abstract We present new 0.6–10 GHz observations of the binary neutron star merger
GW170817 covering the period up to 300 days post-merger, taken with the upgraded Karl G …

Due to relativistic bulk motion, the structure and orientation of gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets
have a fundamental role in determining how they appear. The recent discovery of the …

We present numerical simulations of energetic flows propagating through the debris cloud of
a binary neutron star (BNS) merger. Starting from the scale of the central engine, we use a …

The external forward shock models have been the standard paradigm to interpret the
broadband afterglow data of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). One prediction of the models is that …
