“…Prospects for GRB detections in other energy regimes were reviewed by Chadwick (2007) (very high energy gamma-ray detections), Hough (2007) (gravitational wave detections) and Waxman (2007) (neutrino detections). These contributions, together with the review by Piro (2007) of new ground-and space-based facilities (GLAST, AGILE, JWST, LOFAR, ALMA) that will become operational within the next few years, emphasize the prospect of detection of unambiguous and direct signatures of the formation of the central engine of GRBs and of the importance of multi-messenger astrophysics in achieving further advancement in the understanding of GRBs.…”

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are immensely powerful explosions, originating at cosmological distances, whose outbursts persist for durations ranging from milliseconds to tens of seconds or more. In these brief moments, the explosions radiate more energy than the Sun will release in its entire 10 Gyr lifetime. Current theories attribute these phenomena to the final collapse of a massive star, or the coalescence of a binary system induced by gravity wave emission.New results from Swift and related programmes offer fresh understanding of the physics of GRBs, and of the local environments and host galaxies of burst progenitors. Bursts found at very high red shifts are new tools for exploring the intergalactic medium, the first stars and the earliest stages of galaxy formation.This Royal Society Discussion Meeting has brought together leading figures in the field, together with young researchers and students, to discuss and review the latest results from NASA's Swift Gamma-ray Burst Observatory and elsewhere, and to examine their impact on current understanding of the observed phenomena.

“…With these new features it is interesting to investigate which synergy SVOM will have with the other planned space-and ground-based facilities. This exercise is attempted here, and we want to stress two caveats right from the beginning : (1) the selection of information has been done as careful as possible, but necessarily remains subjective ; (2) history shows that most predictions of future (GRB) research results turned out to be wrong, or were dwarfed by unpredicted discoveries [1,2]. There is no reason to believe that this will not happen again.…”
