The prompt emission of the long, smooth, and single-pulsed gamma-ray burst, GRB $\textit{141028A}$, is analyzed under the guise of an external shock model. First, we fit the $\gamma$-ray spectrum with a two-component photon model, namely…

We propose a model for the spectral formation of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission, where the phenomenological Band's function is usually applied to describe the GRB prompt emission. We suggest that the GRB prompt emission is mainly a…

In this paper we study synchrotron and synchrotron self Compton (SSC) emission from internal shocks (IS) during the prompt and X-ray flare phases of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The aim is to test the IS model for the flare emission and for…

We reexamine the general synchrotron model for GRBs' prompt emission and determine the regime in the parameter phase space in which it is viable. We characterize a typical GRB pulse in terms of its peak energy, peak flux and duration and…

The prompt optical emission of GRB 990123 was uncorrelated to the gamma-ray light-curve and exhibited temporal properties similar to those of the steeply-decaying, early X-ray emission observed by Swift at the end of many bursts. These…
