In this paper, we simulate the prompt emission light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) within the framework of the Internal-Collision-induced MAgnetic Reconnection and Turbulence (ICMART) model. This model applies to GRBs with a…

Internal-Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence (ICMART) model is a widely accepted model for explaining how high-magnetization jets produce gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emissions. In previous works, we show that this model…

The recent Fermi observation of GRB 080916C shows that the bright photosphere emission associated with a putative fireball is missing, which suggests a Poynting-flux-dominated outflow. We propose a model of gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt…

The prompt emission phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibits two distinct patterns of the peak-energy ($E_p$) evolution, i.e., time-resolved spectral analyses of $\nu F_{\nu}$ spectra of broad pulses reveal (1) "hard-to-soft" and (2)…

Several trends have been identified in the prompt gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission: e.g. hard-to-soft evolution, pulse width evolution with energy, time lags, hardness-intensity/-fluence correlations. Recently Fermi has significantly extended…

There are two different evolution patterns of the peak energy ($E_\text{p}$) exhibited during the prompt emission phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), i.e., hard-to-soft and intensity-tracking, of which the physical origin remains unknown.…

Despite the great variation in the light curves of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission, their spectral energy distribution is generally curved and broadly peaked. In particular, their spectral evolution is well described by the…

The emission from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) photosphere can give rise to a variety of spectral shapes. The spectrum can retain the shape of a Planck function or it can be broadened and have the shape of a Band function. This fact is best…

The observational diversity of optical emission, which coincides with prompt gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), has been discovered in the recent Swift era. We show that on the assumption of the synchrotron radiation for the observed energy range…
