       The main goal of our group is to study the cosmic gamma-ray bursts, X-ray binaries, soft gamma-ray repeaters, etc.. Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is one of the most active areas in modern astrophysics. GRBs are short and intense gamma-ray emission lasting about tens seconds, they come from the cosmological distances and from random directions in the sky.

      The isotropic energy can reach 1054ergs, making them the most luminous objects in the sky. The most distant GRB has been detected recently with redshift z=8.3, which indicates that GRBs can be used to probe the early universe. X-ray binaries is one of the important aspects of X-ray astronomy, which includes high mass X-ray binaries and low mass X-ray binaries. Our works are mainly focusing on the radiation process of GRBs, especially in the afterglow phase, and investigate the X-ray binaries through multi-wavelength observations.
