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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of transient optical emission in the error box of the gamma-ray burst GRB980425, the light curve of which was very different from that of previous optical afterglows associated with Gamma-ray bursts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of the X-ray afterglow from the short burst GRB 050509B and its location on the sky is near a luminous, non-star-forming elliptical galaxy at a redshift of 0.225.
