Abstract

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has provided unique insights into the Universe's biggest explosions over the past 12 years. With thousands of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and hundreds by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), we have learned about the broad properties of the populations of these events and got unique insights into their emission mechanisms, environment, and physical properties. In this seminar, I'll review highlights of GRB science from the Fermi mission at low (keV) and high (GeV) energy, as well as the recent discovery of very-high (TeV) energy emission from GRB 180720B and GRB 140114C observed by the Cherenkov Telescopes of the H.E.S.S. and MAGIC experiments, respectively
