Contributed talk

Since its launch on June 22, 2024, SVOM has already detected several tens of gamma-ray bursts. We propose to present the observations and initial analyses of the first, best-characterized SVOM gamma-ray bursts. We will show that these first detections clearly demonstrate SVOM ability to probe the gamma-ray burst population in all its diversity and characterise the prompt and afterglow emission...

106. Swift and the Future of TDAMM Astronomy

Prof. Jamie Kennea (Penn State)

Contributed talk

The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was designed to catch Gamma-Ray Bursts on the fly. However, with it's combination of rapid response capabilities, fast slewing and multi-wavelength instrumentation, it will likely be remembered for being the Epochal mission for the burgeoning field of Time Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM). In this talk I will, with the aid of science results,...

172. The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS)

Lorenzo Amati (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

Contributed talk

The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept, developed by a large European collaboration, under study by ESA since 2018 and currently one of the three candidate M7 mission for a launch in the second half of the 30s, aiming at fully exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and as key phenomena for multi-messenger astrophysics....
