Short gamma-ray bursts may be the merged descendants of long gamma-ray bursts formed in binary-driven hypernovae, with rates, redshifts, and host-galaxy offsets all consistent with this evolutionary link.

abstract
The gamma ray burst phenomenon is reviewed from a theoretical point of view, with emphasis on the fireball shock scenario of the prompt emission and the longer wavelenght afterglow. Recent progress and issues are discussed, including spectral-temporal evolution, localizations, jets, spectral lines, environmental and cosmological aspects, as well as some prospects for future experiments in both electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic channels.

The long-short GRB connection
Short gamma-ray bursts may be the merged descendants of long gamma-ray bursts formed in binary-driven hypernovae, with rates, redshifts, and host-galaxy offsets all consistent with this evolutionary link.
