Respectively, acronyms for kilo-electron Volt (10^3 eV), Mega-electron Volt (10^6 eV), and Giga-electron Volt (10^9 eV). These are common units of energy used here to refer to the energy of gamma-ray photons. GRBs are known to be (temporarily) brighter than anything else in the entire gamma-ray sky at energies above about 10 keV.
