Gamma-ray bursts

Gamma-ray bursts are the most violent explosions in the universe, where a collapsing star in a few seconds emits the same amount of energy as the sun emits in its entire lifetime. In an observational program, we observed Gamma-ray bursts with the X-shooter spectrograph mounted at the Very Large Telescope at Paranal in Chile.
