Short GRB 160821B: a reverse shock, a refreshed shock, and a well-sampled kilonova
We report our identification of the optical afterglow and host galaxy of the short-duration
gamma-ray burst sGRB 160821B. The spectroscopic redshift of the host is z= 0.162, making …

A complete reference of the analytical synchrotron external shock models of gamma-ray bursts
Gamma-ray bursts are most luminous explosions in the universe. Their ejecta are believed
to move towards Earth with a relativistic speed. The interaction between this “relativistic jet” …
