A sample of 427 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), measured by the RHESSI satellite, is studied statistically to determine the number of GRB groups. Previous studies based on the BATSE Catalog and recently on the Swift data claim the existence of an…

One of the most important task of the Gamma-Ray Burst field is the classification of the bursts. Many researches have proven the existence of the third kind (intermediate duration) of GRBs in the BATSE data. Recent works have analyzed…

In the redshift range z = 0-1, the gamma ray burst (GRB) redshift distribution should increase rapidly because of increasing differential volume sizes and strong evolution in the star formation rate. This feature is not observed in the…

We propose a redshift estimator for the long ($T_{90} > 20$) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the BATSE. It is based on an empirical relation between the redshift and the power-law index of power density spectra (PDSs) of the observed…

Correlations among pulse properties in the prompt emission of long GRBs can potentially be used as cosmological distance indicators to estimate redshifts of GRBs to which these pulses belong. We demonstrate application of this technique to…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful probes of the high-redshift universe. However, the proportion of collapsar GRBs among long GRBs and their event rate relative to the star formation rate (SFR) remain contentious issues. We assume that…

It has been suggested that cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can produce the observed flux of cosmic rays at the highest energies. However, recent studies of GRBs indicate that their redshift distribution likely follows that of the…

Recent studies suggest that Swift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may not trace an ordinary star formation history. Here we show that the GRB rate turns out to be consistent with the star formation history with an evolving stellar initial mass…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extremely powerful explosions that have been traditionally classified into two categories: long bursts (LGRBs) with an observed duration T90 > 2 s, and short bursts (SGRBs) with an observed duration T90 < 2 s,…

We find that dim gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are softer than bright GRBs, as indicated on average by data from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. We show that this correlation is…

We examine the effects of time dilation on the temporal profiles of gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulses. By using prescriptions for the shape and evolution of prompt gamma-ray spectra, we can generate a simulated population of single pulsed GRBs…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are violent stellar explosions that are traditionally divided into two groups: short bursts (SGRBs) with an observed duration T90 < 2 s, and long bursts (LGRBs) with an observed duration T90 > 2 s, where T90 refers…
