Abstract:

The photometric history of the events related to Gamma-Ray Bursts can be studied from the very beginning, or even before, if they are repeated (at least two times after the first event) by effect of gravitational lensing. These possibilities are analyzed for different kinds of lensing galaxies in the frame of their simple models.

Key words: gravitational lensing, gamma-rays: bursts

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
