After being first recognised as a distinct category of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), the progenitors of short GRBs have remained highly elusive although we have long suspected that they are compact binary mergers. ... The compact binary merger progenitor is typically thought to produce a black hole central engine. However, we have now identified prolonged energy injection in short GRB lightcurves that is inconsistent with the expected black hole central engine. ...

... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ...
