Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Description
We present the results from an optical monitoring campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short GRB 100816A. We implemented a new way of processing the Swift-BAT data, and based on it we reclassified this burst as short, discarding the initial classification as long. Observations were carried out mainly with the GTC Telescope within the four following days after the burst to investigate the optical photometry of its afterglow, and a year later to localize the host. We completed the optical imaging with the 1.23 m and 3.5 m CAHA Telescopes. We built and fitted the nIR-optical SED for the characterization of the host. The best fit of the SED (χ2/d.o.f. = 1.656) obtained for assumed values of a solar metallicity, and an extinction of AV = 0.2 mag is obtained for a starburst galaxy with a dominant stellar population aging about 360 Myr.
