N2 - Gamma-Ray Bursts are among the most relativistic objects known. They involve a relativistic motion with large bulk Lorentz factors (Γ > 100 or even higher). They arise, most likely, when black holes form. Their expected progenitors: Collapsars and in particular neutron star binary mergers are the classical candidates for sources of Gravitational Radiation. Moreover, the acceleration process of their jets also leads to gravitational radiation emission that might be detectable. Finally, the high energy photons and possibly neutrinos emitted in GRBs provide the best tools to explore and set limits on Lorentz Invariance Violations.
