Fast spectral variability of gamma-ray burst emission is considered for a number of events seen by the Konus-Wind experiment. The variability manifests itself as a strong correlation between instantaneous energy flux $F$ and peak energy…
The BATSE mission aboard CGRO monitored the whole sky in the 20 keV - 1 MeV energy band continuously from April 1991 until June 2000. Although BATSE had very poor intrinsic angular resolution, the data can be used to survey the entire soft…
The Fermi observatory, with its Gamma-Ray Bursts monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT), is observing Gamma-ray Bursts with unprecedented spectral coverage and sensitivity, from ~10 keV to > 300 GeV. In the first 3 years of the…
We present a homogeneous X-ray analysis of all 318 Gamma Ray Bursts detected by the X-ray Telescope on the Swift satellite up to 2008 July 23; this represents the largest sample of X-ray GRB data published to date. In Sections 2--3 we…
The recently launched Swift satellite is providing an unprecedented number of rapid and accurate Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) localizations, facilitating a flurry of follow-up observations by a large number of telescopes at many different…
If Gamma-Ray-Bursts (GRBs) occur at high redshifts, then their bright afterglow emission can be used to probe the ionization and metal enrichment histories of the intervening intergalactic medium during the epoch of reionization. In…
Gamma-ray Bursts can be used as distance indicators using the Combo relation. We show how the proposed THESEUS mission will allow us to investigate the evolution history of the Universe at high redshift with GRBs. Assuming that THESEUS will…
A recent spectrum of the optical afterglow of GRB 970508 suggests that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmological in origin and it is of crucial importance to derive an accurate distance to each burst. If GRBs occur near their host galaxies…
After more than six and half years in orbit, the ESA space observatory INTEGRAL has provided new, exciting results in the soft gamma-ray energy range (from a few keV to a few MeV). With the discovery of about 700 hard X-Ray sources, it has…
The fast temporal structures and cosmological distances of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) afford a natural laboratory for testing theories of frequency-dependent propagation of high-energy photons, as predicted for quantum gravity (QG). We…
High-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) beyond redshift $\sim6$ are potentially powerful tools to probe the distant early Universe. Their detections in large numbers and at truly high redshifts call for the next generation of high-energy…
We present results of the search for hard X-ray/soft $\gamma$-ray emission in coincidence with publicly reported (via Transient Name Server, TNS; http://www.wis-tns.org/) fast radio bursts (FRBs). The search was carried out using continuous…
Several correlations among Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) quantities, both in the prompt and afterglow emissions, have been established during the last decades, thus enabling the standardization of GRBs as cosmological probes. Since GRBs are…
