Abstract
- Aims. With an observed and rest-frame duration of <2 s and <0.5 s, respectively, GRB 090426 could be classified as a short GRB. The prompt detection, both from space and ground-based telescopes, of a bright optical counterpart to this GRB offered a unique opportunity to complete a detailed study.
