ABSTRACT

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extreme high-energy phenomena in the Universe, characterized by the sudden enhancement of gamma-ray originating from deep space within a very short period. The study of GRBs is important for understanding the extreme physical laws of the Universe, the formation and evolution of dense objects, and the limitation of cosmological parameters. Observations cover both instantaneous and afterglow radiation, with the former focusing on high energy, short time scales, and irregular light variations, which require high sensitivity and fast response of the equipment, and the latter focusing on long-term monitoring of multi-band radiation, which provides key information for understanding the physical mechanisms. Multi-messenger observational techniques such as LIGO, Virgo Gravitational Wave Detector and IceCube Neutrino Detector have enriched GRB studies by directly detecting spacetime perturbations and neutrino signals. In the future, with the development of new observational devices such as ET, CE, JWST, and eXTP, GRB research will play a more critical role in astronomy and cosmology to explore extreme physical processes, study the early structure and evolution of the universe, and test the fundamental physical principles.
