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 Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) as discussed by the authors is one of the three instruments flying aboard the Swift Gamma-ray Observatory, which is designed to capture the early (∼1 min) UV and optical photons from the afterglow of gamma-ray bursts in the 170-600 nm band as well as long term observations of these afterglows.

The Formation of Dwarf Galaxies in Tidal Debris: A Study of the Compact Group Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a sample of 47 candidate dwarf galaxies associated with the tidal tails and arms in the groups and estimate the contribution of the tidal dwarf formation mechanism to the population of dwarf galaxies observed at large in compact groups.
