Project description

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are natural candidates to shed light on extreme phenomena such as the formation and properties of relativistic outflows, particle acceleration in relativistic plasmas, and the birth of compact objects from the core-collapse of massive stars (long GRBs) or from the merger of neutron stars/black holes (short GRBs) associated with the generation of gravitational waves (GW). Despite there is a general grasp on how GRB radiation is produced, open questions and inconsistencies between model predictions and observations are preventing us from fully exploiting these sources.
