We present a detailed follow-up of the very energetic GRB 210905A at high redshift z = 6.312 and its luminous X-ray optical afterglow. Following detection by Swift Konus- Wind , we obtained photometric spectroscopic in near-infrared (NIR), covering both prompt afterglow emission from few minutes up to 20 Ms after burst. With an isotropic gamma-ray energy release E iso 1.27 −0.19 +0.20 × 10 54 e...

introduction  sudden infant death syndrome (sids) is a disease which causes unexpected death of infants aged less than 1 year. given the undeniable role of parents in the presence or absence of sids risk factors, the present study aimed to studythe prevalence and the relationship between characteristics and conditions of parent’s infants with sids risk factors. materials and methods  in this cr...
