Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation regions, leaving many GRBs without identified afterglows.…

The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) will significantly augment the science return from the Fermi Observatory in the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The primary objective of GBM is to extend the energy range over which bursts are observed…

Observations of high energy emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) constrain the extreme physical conditions associated with these energetic cosmic explosions. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a…
