Description
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous object in the Universe. It is a class of the object that has been intensively studied since a few tens of years ago.
Even though its origin is mostly revealed as a death of a massive star and a merger of neutron stars or black holes, its confirmation (of the merger origin, in particular) is still awaited. On top of that, the mechanism of its gamma-ray emission has not yet been understood well.
One of the keys to understand GRBs is Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), such as MAGIC and CTA LST.
MAGIC telescopes are designed from the beginning to overcome the difficulty in GRB observations.
So far no positive detection has been reported from any GRBs, but we are ready for a detection,
after experiences over 10 years of operation and data analyses, as well as understanding of GRBs.
In this seminar the above situations are briefly summarized, as well as my current tasks for CTA LST at IFAE.
