Tracing the Origins of Rare, Cosmic Explosions

  • An artistic rendition of the diversity of short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) host environments, in large part discovered and characterized by Keck Observatory. SGRBs may occur in actively star-forming or dead galaxies, nearby or deep into the universe, and close or far from their host's centers.
