TLDR
HERMES-TP/SP is a constellation of six 3U nano-satellites hosting simple but innovative X-ray detectors for the monitoring of Cosmic High Energy transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events, and for the determination of their position.Abstract:
HERMES-TP/SP is a constellation of six 3U nano-satellites hosting simple but innovative X-ray detectors for the monitoring of Cosmic High Energy transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events, and for the determination of their position. The projects are funded by the Italian Space Agency and by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 821896. HERMES-TP/SP is an in orbit demonstration, that should be tested in orbit by the beginning of 2022. It is intrinsically a modular experiment that can be naturally expanded to provide a global, sensitive all sky monitor for high energy transients. On behalf of the HERMES-TP and HERMES-SP collaborations I will present the main scientific goals of HERMES-TP/SP, as well as a progress report on the payload, service module and ground segment developments.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the detection of a transient and fading optical source in the error box associated with the burst GRB970228, less than 21 hours after the burst, suggesting that the burst occurred in that galaxy and thus that γ-ray bursts in general lie at cosmological distance.

TL;DR: In this paper, spectroscopic observations of the possible optical counterpart to the y-ray burst GRB970508 were reported, showing that the spectrum is mostly featureless, except for a few prominent absorption lines which were attributed to the presence of an absorption system along the line of sight at redshift z = 0835.
