We report the discovery of a correlation among three prompt emission properties of GRBs. These are the isotropic peak luminosity L_iso, the peak energy of the time-integrated prompt emission spectrum E_pk, and the ``high signal" timescale…

We find and study a variety of the spectral-temporal behavior during the decay phase of long and bright GRB pulses. Even though only a small fraction of observed bursts exhibit such pulses, these are of interest to study as they reflect…

We compare the spectral properties of 79 short and 79 long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE and selected with the same limiting peak flux. Short GRBs have a low-energy spectral component harder and a peak energy slightly higher…

Fenimore et al. (1995) have recently presented a very tight correlation between the spectral and the temporal structure in Gamma Ray Bursts (hereafter GRBs). In particular, they discovered that the durations of the constituent subpulses…

A simple scheme delineates Long GRBs with similar time histories using the Internal Luminosity Function power-law index and the spectral lag. Several generalizations are made about time history morphologies: 1) GRBs with long spectral lags…
