讲座内容：

In the talk I will review our recent workon the most remarkable Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in last two years: GRB 160625Band GRB 170817A. GRB 160625B is an extraordinarily bright burst with threeisolated episodes separated by long quiescent intervals. By conducting detailedtime-resolved spectral analysis in each episode, we found the spectral propertiesof the first two sub-bursts are distinctly different, allowing us to for thefirst time observe a clear transition from thermal to non-thermal radiationbetween well-separated emission episodes within a single GRB. Such a transitionis a strong indication of the change of jet composition from a fireball to aPoynting-flux-dominated jet. GRB 170817A is the first confirmed short GRBassociated with gravitational event GW170817. By performing detailed analysison the prompt emission data, we show that the fluence and spectral peak energyof this sGRB fall into the lower portion of the distributions of known sGRBs.Its peak isotropic luminosity is abnormally low. The estimated event rate densityabove this luminosity is at least  ~190 Gpc^-3yr^-1, which is close to butstill below the DNS merger event rate density. The physical implicationsincluding the jet structure will also be discussed.
