This manuscript presents a multilevel analysis of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We focus on the plateau phase, which is often observed in the light curves (LCs) of GRBs. We discuss its observational properties and then thoroughly examine…
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been found to be associated with broad-lined type-Ic supernovae (SNe), but only a handful of cases have been studied in detail. Prompted by the discovery of the exceptionally bright, nearby…
We perform Monte Carlo simulations to study Ep-Eiso correlation in the context of a multiple subjet model (or inhomogeneous jet model) for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), X-ray--rich GRBs (XRRs), and X-ray flashes (XRFs). For a single subjet, we…
We present the main results of a study of spectral and energetics properties of twelve gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with redshift estimates. All GRBs in our sample were detected by BeppoSAX in a broad energy range (2-700 keV). From the redshift…
Using a sample of 14 BeppoSAX and 74 Swift GRBs with measured redshift we tested the correlation between the intrinsic peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum, E_p,i, the isotropic-equivalent peak luminosity, L_p,iso, and the duration…
Recently proposed correlations between the energetics of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) and their spectral properties, namely the peak energy of their prompt emission, are found to account for the observed fluence distribution of all `bright' BATSE…
In this paper, we use two model-independent methods to standardize long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the $E_{\rm iso}-E_{\rm p}$ correlation, where $E_{\rm iso}$ is the isotropic-equivalent gamma-ray energy and $E_{\rm p}$ is the spectral…
Thanks to more and more gamma-ray bursts with measured redshift and extended emission detected by the recent space telescopes, it is urgent and possible to check whether those previous energy correlations still satisfy for the particular…
We build a comprehensive sample to statistically describe the properties of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and X-ray riches (XRRs) from the latest third Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT3) catalog of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We obtain 81 XRFs, 540…
Gamma-ray bursts are usually classified through their high-energy emission into short-duration and long-duration bursts, which presumably reflect two different types of progenitors. However, it has been shown on statistical grounds that a…
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), with more than 650 GRBs. Two questions drive this effort: (1) Does the X-ray emission retain any kind of memory of the prompt phase? (2)…
Luminosity correlations of long Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are extensively proposed as an effective complementarity to trace the Hubble diagram of Universe at high redshifts, which is of great importance to explore properties of dark energy.…
The spectral-energy and (luminosity) correlations in long GRBs are being hotly debated to establish, first of all, their reality against possible selection effects. These are best studied in the observer planes, namely the peak energy…
We present the results of the spectral analysis of a sample of short bright $\gamma$--ray bursts (GRB) detected by BATSE and compare them with the average and time resolved spectral properties of long bright bursts. While the spectral…
We extend a previous work on the intrinsic spectral properties and energetics of GRBs with known redshift based on 12 BeppoSAX events by including in the sample a total of 10 more events detected either by BATSE, BeppoSAX or HETE-2. An…
The use of GRB energetics for cosmography has long been advanced as a means to probe out to high redshifts, to the epoch of deceleration. However, the prompt energy release in GRBs, even when corrected for jetting geometry, is far from…
We select a sample of 34 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) whose $\Gamma_0$ values are derived with the onset peaks observed in the afterglow lightcurves (except for GRB 060218 whose $\Gamma_0$ is estimated with its radio data), and investigate the…
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilities. The unprecedented sample size allows us to constrain…
The most energetic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are remarkable sources releasing huge amounts of energy on short timescales. Their prompt emission, which usually lasts few seconds, is so bright that it is visible across the whole observable…
Gamma ray burst (GRB) optical and X-ray afterglow luminosity is expected to correlate with the GRB isotropic equivalent kinetic energy of the outflow in the standard synchrotron model for GRB afterglows. Previous studies, using prompt GRB…
