The correlations between the rest frame peak of the EF_E spectrum of GRBs Epeak and their isotropic energy (E_iso) or luminosity (L_iso) could have several implications for the understanding of the GRB prompt emission. These correlations…

One of the challenges of the Swift era has been accurately determining Epeak for the prompt GRB emission. RHESSI, which is sensitive from 30 keV to 17 MeV, can extend spectral coverage above the Swift-BAT bandpass. Using the public Swift…

The \emph{Swift} Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), operating in the 15--150 keV energy band, struggles to detect the peak energy ($E_{\rm p}$) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), as most GRBs have $E_{\rm p}$ values typically distributed between 200-300…

We used a sample of GRBs detected by Fermi and Swift to reanalyze the correlation discovered by Amati et al. (2002) between Epi, the peak energy of the prompt GRB emission, and Eiso, the energy released by the GRB assuming isotropic…

The extremely energetic Fermi GRBs 080916C, with its Eiso of ~ 10^{55} erg in 1 keV - 10 GeV and intense GeV emission, and 090323 give us a unique opportunity to test the reliability and extension of spectral energy correlations. Based on…

We present the relation between the ($z-$ and $k-$corrected) spectral lags, $\tau$, for the standard Swift energy bands 50-100 keV and 100-200 keV and the peak isotropic luminosity, $L_{\mathrm{iso}}$ (a relation reported first by Norris et…

We investigate the well-measured spectral and energetic properties of 20 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in their cosmological rest frames. We find a tight relation between the isotropic-equivalent gamma-ray energy Eiso, the local peak energy E'p…

We consider the distribution of many samples of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) when plotted in a diagram with their bolometric fluence (Sbolo) versus the observed photon energy of peak spectral flux (Epeak,obs). In this diagram, bursts that obey…

We present the first Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which contains bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2007 June 16. This catalog (hereafter BAT1 catalog) contains burst trigger…

In this Letter we show that there is a redshift degeneracy in the Eiso-Epeak relation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If a GRB has a redshift solved from the Eiso-Epeak relation that lies in the range of 0.9<z<20, a GRB that has the same…

The energetics and emission mechanism of GRBs are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that the instantaneous peak flux or equivalent isotropic peak luminosity, L_iso ergs s^-1, rather than the integrated fluence or equivalent isotropic…
