Abstract Extended, fading emissions in multi-wavelength are observed following gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Recent broad-band observational campaigns led by the Swift Observatory reveal rich features of these GRB afterglows. Here we review the latest observational progress and discuss the theoretical implications for understanding the central engine, composition, and geometric configuration of GRB jets, as well as their interactions with the ambient medium.

• The physics of gamma-ray bursts & relativistic jets (2014, background): “It is worth pointing out that short GRBs typically have fainter afterglows due to their lower energies and probably lower circumburst densities (Panaitescu et al., 2001).”
