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 …

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 …

Mergers of binary neutron stars (NSs) are among the most promising gravitational wave
(GW) sources. Next generation GW detectors are expected to detect signals from NS …

We present the most extensive and complete study of the properties for the largest sample
(46 objects) of gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies. The redshift interval and the mean …

We present observations of the afterglows and host galaxies of three short-duration gamma-
ray bursts (GRBs): 100625A, 101219A, and 110112A. We find that GRB 100625A occurred …

Recent months have witnessed dramatic progress in our understanding of short γ-ray burst
(SGRB) sources. There is now general agreement that SGRBs—or at least a substantial …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been separated into two classes, originally along the lines
of duration and spectral properties, called" short/hard" and" long/soft." The latter have been …

We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) with very bright
extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction …

The historic first joint detection of both gravitational-wave and electromagnetic emission from
a binary neutron star merger cemented the association between short gamma-ray bursts …

Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are now known to be the product of the merger of two
compact objects. However, two possible formation channels exist: neutron star–neutron star …
