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 …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short and intense flashes of γ-rays coming from deep space.
GRBs were discovered more than a half century ago and now are observed across the …

Information on the spectral shape of prompt emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is mostly
available only at energies≳ 10 keV, where the main instruments for GRB detection are …

Knowledge of the bulk Lorentz factor Γ 0 of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allows us to compute
their comoving frame properties shedding light on their physics. Upon collisions with the …

The extraction of useful information from data is often a complex process that can be
conveniently modeled as a data analysis workflow. When very large data sets must be …

Time-domain surveys can exchange sky coverage for revisit frequency, complicating the
comparison of their relative capabilities. By using different revisit intervals, a specific camera …

ABSTRACT A small fraction of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with available data down to soft X-
rays (∼ 0.5 keV) has been shown to feature a spectral break in the low-energy part (∼ 1–10 …

Wide-field small aperture telescopes are the workhorses of fast sky surveying. Transient
discovery is one of their main tasks. Classification of candidate transient images between …

Context. Despite the importance of magnetic fields to a full understanding of the properties of
accreting Herbig Ae/Be stars, these fields have scarcely been studied until now over the …

Many theories predict the existence of very heavy compact objects, that in terms of sizes
would belong to the realms of nuclear or atomic physics, but in terms of masses could …
