Using multiwavelength observations of short GRBs to constrain their progenitors
Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are extremely bright flashes of gamma-rays, lasting less than 2 s, originating from beyond the Milky Way but their progenitors remain unknown. The most popular progenitor theory involves the merger of two compact objects, either two neutron stars (NSs) or a NS and a bl...
