A brief description of research topics:

  • General scientific background:Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are sudden flashes in the sky. In recent decades, significant advances have been made in understanding the physics of GRBs, including the discovery of X-ray, optical and radio afterglows and high-energy (GeV) radiation, the identification of parent galaxies at cosmological distances, and the linking of the origin of GRBs to star-forming regions and supernovae.
  • Scientific results expected from the research:
  • If the research objectives are achieved, the following questions can be answered:
    1. What new results will the synoptic analysis of the outbreaks gamma-, X-ray, optical, and if possible, radio measurements give?
    2. How does the local interstellar environment of GRBs affect the optical transients?
    3. What is the role of the correct Galactic foreground estimation in obtaining information about the local environment of GRBs?
    4. Can we estimate the proportion of high-energy Galactic and extragalactic photons detected by the Fermi LAT?
    5. What information can be obtained from follloe-up measurements in the infrared range about the host galaxies?
    6. What is the relationship between the star formation rate and the rate of GRBs?
    7. Is there a difference between low and high redshift GRBs?
