Scientific paper

The prompt localizations of GRBs provided by the Swift satellite have enabled major advances in our understandings of GRB prompt and afterglow emission. The Swift BAT detects about 100 GRBs per year and provides positions accurate to better than 3 arcminutes within tens of seconds, while the XRT detects about 95 afterglows per year and provides positions accurate to a few arcseconds within a minute or two of the GRB onset. Here I review highlights of the Swift mission, including X-ray light curves, localization of short GRBs, and ambiguities in the classification of GRBs.
