Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A

B. P. Abbott, +1198 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the observed time delay of $(+1.74\pm 0.05)\,{\rm{s}}$ between GRB 170817A and GW170817 to constrain the difference between the speed of gravity and speed of light to be between $-3

Identification of two classes of gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: In this paper, the duration distribution of the gamma-ray bursts of the first BATSE catalog is studied and a bimodality in the distribution is found, which separates GRBs into two classes: short events (less than 2 s) and longer ones (more than 2 S).
