Description:
Gamma Ray Bursts have fascinated astronomers since their accidental discovery in the
sixties. Thanks to pivotal discoveries by BATSE and BeppoSAX, our understanding of these
mysterious bursts has advanced in the last ten years. We know today that the bursts
represent the most powerful explosions in the universe. We will explore Gamma Ray Bursts
and related high energy phenomena: Supernovae, QSOs, Blazars, and Mini-Quasars. The
school will cover both observational and theoretical topics and the goal is to seek similarities
and to draw parallels between related phenomena.
