The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission

Neil Gehrels, +77 more
TL;DR: The Swift mission as discussed by the authors is a multi-wavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy, which is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and multiwavelength missions.

Long γ-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that long-duration γ-ray bursts are associated with the most extremely massive stars and may be restricted to galaxies of limited chemical evolution. But they also show that the host galaxies of the long-drone bursts are significantly fainter and more irregular than the hosts of the core-collapse supernovae.
