Ground based extensive air showers arrays can observe GRBs in the 1-1000 GeV energy range using the "single particle" techique. The sensitivity to detect a GRB as a function of the burst parameters and the detector characteristics are…

We briefly introduce the disadvantages for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as standard candles to measure the Universe, and suggest Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can serve as a powerful tool for probing the properties of high redshift Universe. We…

Gamma-ray Bursts can be used as distance indicators using the Combo relation. We show how the proposed THESEUS mission will allow us to investigate the evolution history of the Universe at high redshift with GRBs. Assuming that THESEUS will…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic events in the universe, offering insights into stellar collapse, extreme matter behavior, and cosmic evolution. The advent of multi-messenger astronomy, combining electromagnetic,…

When transmitting a signal over a large distance it is more efficient to send a brief beamed signal than a continuous omni-directional transmission but this requires that the receiver knows where and when to look for the transmission. For…

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic electromagnetic explosions in the universe. Recently, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) reported the breakthrough observation of GRB 221009A with gamma-ray energies beyond…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are particle acceleration sites that can emit photons in the very high-energy (VHE) domain through non-thermal processes. From 2004 until 2018, the current generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes…

The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) is a new space-based experiment to observe Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). GRBs are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe and occur randomly in any direction. Therefore the UFFO consists…

It is now more than 40 years since the discovery of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and in the last two decades there has been major progress in the observations of bursts, the afterglows and their host galaxies. This recent progress has been…

The REM telescope is being deployed these very days at the La Silla Observatory in Chile, and will be fully operational by the beginning of 2004. It is a very fast-slewing robotized telescope, endowed with optical and near-infrared…

The LAT instrument on the Fermi mission will reveal the rich spectral and temporal gamma-ray burst phenomena in the > 100 MeV band. The synergy with Fermi's GBM detectors will link these observations to those in the well explored 10-1000…

The All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has been used to localize thirteen confirmed X-ray counterparts to Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected over three years of operation. We quantify the errors in ASM…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are tremendous explosions visible across most of the Universe, certainly out to redshifts of z=4.5 and likely out to z~10. Recently, GRBs have been found to have a roughly constant explosive energy as well as to have…

We present ECLAIRs, the Gamma-ray burst (GRB) trigger camera to fly on-board the Chinese-French mission SVOM. ECLAIRs is a wide-field ($\sim 2$\,sr) coded mask camera with a mask transparency of 40\% and a 1024 $\mathrm{cm}^2$ detection…
