本文综述了通过射电余辉发射探测伽马射线暴的物理特性。尽管射电波段是余辉光谱中探索最少的，但它在GRB物理学的进展中发挥了重要作用，特别是在证实假设的相对论效应方面。目前，射电天文学正处于一场革命的开端。高灵敏度的平方公里阵列（SKA）正在规划中，它的前体和探路者即将投入使用，一些现有的仪器正在进行升级。因此，从探测统计数据和后续程序得出的余辉结果有望在未来几年得到改善。我们列出了一些无线电波段独特的途径，如果探索到充分的潜力，有希望为GRB物理学的未来做出巨大贡献。
This review focuses on the physics of Gamma Ray Bursts probed through their radio afterglow emission. Even though radio band is the least explored of the afterglow spectrum, it has played an important role in the progress of GRB physics, specifically in confirming the hypothesized relativistic effects. Currently radio astronomy is in the beginning of a revolution. The high sensitive Square Kilometer Array (SKA) is being planned, its precursors and pathfinders are about to be operational, and several existing instruments are undergoing upgradation. Thus, the afterglow results from detection statistics and follow up programs are expected to improve in the coming years. We list a few avenues unique to radio band which if explored to full potential have the promise to greatly contribute to the future of GRB physics.
