Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which signify the end-life collapsing of very massive stars, are produced by extremely relativistic jets colliding into circumstellar medium. Huge energy is released both in the first few seconds, namely the…

GRB041219a is the brightest burst localised by INTEGRAL. The intense burst occurred about ~250s after the precursor and the long delay enabled optical and near infrared telescopes to observe the prompt emission. We present comprehensive…
