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.

Lense-Thirring Precession and Quasi-periodic Oscillations in Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries
Luigi Stella,M. Vietri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Lense-Thirring precession frequency (tens of Hz) of the same material as gives rise to the kHz QPOs is determined within a factor of ~4, depending on the neutron star equation of state.

TL;DR: Tanvir et al. as mentioned in this paper used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, Hawaii, from about 20 minutes after the burst and arrive at z ≈ 8.2, implying that massive stars were being produced and dying as GRBs approximately 620 million years after the Big Bang.
