Abstract : Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are brief extragalactic phenomena, among the most energetic in the Universe, resulting from the formation of a stellar-mass black hole. They are characterised by a prompt emission of X and gamma-ray photons, which can last from a fraction of a second to a few minutes, followed by an afterglow in other wavelengths. The French-Chinese SVOM mission, expected to begin operations after 2021, aims to detect their prompt emission and to observe their afterglow from space but also from the ground. The ECLAIRs coded mask telescope onboard the SVOM satellite will scan the sky in search of the prompt emission of GRBs in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray band, but also observe other known sources emitting in this ene...
