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: The burst alert telescope (BAT) as discussed by the authors is one of three instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and it detects the GRB and localizes the burst direction to an accuracy of 1-4 arcmin within 20 s after the start of the event.

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.
