(shortened) Context: GRB GRB 050509b, detected by the \emph{Swift} satellite, is the first case where an X-ray afterglow has been observed associated with a short gamma-ray burst (GRB). Within the fireshell model, the canonical GRB light…
On the basis of the recent understanding of GRB050315 and GRB060218, we return to GRB970228, the first Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) with detected afterglow. We proposed it as the prototype for a new class of GRBs with "an occasional softer…
(shortened) [...] In the context of the fireshell model, [...] a new family of disguised short bursts has been identified: long bursts with a protracted low instantaneous luminosity due to a low density CircumBurst Medium (CBM). In the…
The time-resolved spectral analysis of GRB090227B, made possible by the Fermi-GBM data, allows to identify in this source the missing link between the genuine short and long GRBs. Within the Fireshell model [...] we predict genuine short…
Observations of very early multi-wavelength afterglows are critical to reveal the properties of the radiating fireball and its environment as well as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We report our optical observations of GRB…
Despite a generally accepted framework for describing the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows, the nature of the compact object at the central engine and the mechanism behind the prompt emission remain debated. The striped jet model is a…
We employ a fireball model of the GRB explosion to constrain intrinsic and environmental parameters of four events with good broadband afterglow data; GRB970508, GRB980329, GRB980703, and GRB000926. Using standard assumptions of constant…
The mechanism responsible for the afterglow emission of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and its connection to the prompt $\gamma$-ray emission is still a debated issue. Relations between intrinsic properties of the prompt or afterglow emission can…
The correlation between the peak spectra energy ($E_p$) and the equivalent isotropic energy ($E_{\rm iso}$) of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the so-called Amati relation, is often used to constrain the high-redshift Hubble diagram. Assuming…
We analyze Swift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and X-ray afterglows for three GRBs with spectroscopic redshift determinations -- GRB 050401, XRF 050416a, and GRB 050525a. We find that the relation between spectral peak energy and isotropic energy…
We consider two empirical relations using data only from the prompt emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), peak energy ($E_p$) - peak luminosity ($L_p$) relation (so called Yonetoku relation) and $E_p$-isotropic energy ($E_{\rm iso}$)…
Given the very accurate data from the BATSE experiment and RXTE and Chandra satellites, we use the GRB 991216 as a prototypical case to test the EMBH theory linking the origin of the energy of GRBs to the electromagnetic energy of black…
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer significant insights into cosmology due to their high energy emissions and the potential to probe the early universe. The Amati relation, which links the intrinsic peak energy to the isotropic energy, is…
Empirical correlations between various key parameters have been extensively explored ever since the discovery of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and have been widely used as standard candles to probe the Universe. The Amati relation and the…
We have proposed three paradigms for the theoretical interpretation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). (1) The relative space-time transformation (RSTT) paradigm emphasizes how the knowledge of the entire world-line of the source from the moment…
The luminosity function (LF) statistics applied to the BATSE GRBs (sources of GUSBAD catalog) is the theme approached in this work. The LF is a strong statistical tool to extract useful information from astrophysical samples, where the key…
We use a sample of \textit{Swift} gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to analyze the Amati and Yonetoku correlations. The first relation is between $E_{p,i}$, the intrinsic peak energy of the prompt GRB emission, and $E_{iso}$, the equivalent isotropic…
We show the preliminary results of the application of our "fireshell" model to GRB060124. This source is very peculiar because it is the first event for which both the prompt and the afterglow emission were observed simultaneously by the…
To reveal and understand astrophysical processes responsible for the Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) phenomenon, it is crucial to discover and understand relations between their observational properties. The presented study is performed in the GRB…
We use the correlation relation between the energy emitted by the GRBs in their prompt phases and the X-ray afterglow fluxes, in an effort to constrain cosmological parameters and aiming to construct a Hubble diagram at high redshifts, i.e.…
