Wide-field gamma-ray telescopes typically have highly variable event-by-event resolution which leads to a number of unique and challenging analysis requirements -- particularly when conducting transient searches over multiple time scales.…
The prompt phase X- and $\gamma$-ray light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit erratic and complex behaviour, often with multiple pulses. The temporal shape of individual pulses is often modelled as 'fast rise exponential decay'…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) show different behaviours and trends in their spectral evolution. One of the methods used to understand the physical origin of these behaviours is to study correlation between the spectral fit parameters. In this…

X-ray emission can provide a crucial diagnostic of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We calculate the X-ray and gamma-ray spectra of impulsive acceleration episodes related to GRB pulses. We use the synchrotron shock model (SSM) as a basis of our…
We consider all bursts with known redshift and $\nu F_\nu$ peak energy, $E^{obs}_{peak}$. For a good fraction of them an estimate of the jet opening angle is available from the achromatic break of their afterglow light curve. This allows…

Gamma-ray bursts are a complex, non-linear system that evolves very rapidly through stages of vastly different conditions. They evolve from scales of few hundred kilometers where they are very dense and hot to cold and tenuous on scales of…
