Scientific paper

Understanding of the origin and nature of short/hard Gamma-ray bursts (SHBs) is one of the last frontiers of GRB research. We propose a 3 epoch ToO observations of one SHB, as part of a broadband followup campaign. We hope to decisively answer the following questions: Do the afterglows of SHBs arise from external shocks? What are the explosion energy, external density, and micro-physical parameters? In what environments do SHBs occur, galaxy clusters? Are the afterglows isotropic, and what is the SHB rate? What drives the X-ray flaring, which apparently occurs many dynamical timescales after a putative compact object merger? These observations complement (but do not duplicate) a joint Chandra/Spitzer ToO observation of one SHB, proposed in the 3rd GO Spitzer round.
