    Detection of short high-energy transients in the local universe with SVOM/ECLAIRs

    The coincidental detection of the gravitational wave event GW 170817 and the gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A marked the advent of multi-messenger astronomy and represented a milestone in the study of GRBs. Signifi...

    The association of GRB 060218 with a supernova and the evolution of the shock wave

    A link between long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae has been established, but whether there is a similar relationship between the weaker and softer X-ray flashes and supernovae is unclear. GRB/XRF 060218, s...

    An unexpectedly rapid decline in the X-ray afterglow emission of long γ-ray bursts

    The Swift satellite, launched in November last year, is designed to study γ-ray bursts (GRBs) as soon as they happen. GRBs are the most powerful explosions known in the Universe, and Swift's ability to study t...
