The combination of the GBM and the LAT instruments onboard the {\\it Fermi} observatory has provided a wealth of information from its observations of GRBs over seven decades in energy. We present brief descriptions of the {\\it Fermi} instruments and their capabilities for GRB science, and report highlights from {\\it Fermi} observations of high-energy prompt and extended GRB emission. The main physical implications of these results are discussed, along with open questions regarding GRB modelling. We emphasize future synergies with ground-based \\v{C}erenkov telescopes at the time of the SVOM mission.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-01T13:26:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gamma-ray burst", "fermi view", "gamma-ray space telescope", "lat instruments onboard", "svom mission" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.crhy.2011.02.006", "journal": "Comptes Rendus Physique", "year": 2011, "month": "Apr", "volume": 12, "pages": 267 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 901685, "adsabs": "2011CRPhy..12..267P" } } }
