Scientific paper

I touch upon some of the discoveries made by the Swift Team during the first 18 months of operation focusing on a few critical points. In addition to the early afterglows and complete coverage of the light curves, we mention the discovery of the location of Short bursts, the statistics on flares that is under completion and refer to their explanation as due to internal shocks. The full understanding of the connection with supernovae and the study of high z flares will ultimately lead to the detailed understanding of the mechanism of explosion both for GRBs and for Supernovae.
