In the internal shock model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the synchrotron spectrum from the fast cooling electrons in a homogeneous downstream magnetic field (MF) is too soft to produce the low-energy slope of GRB spectra. However the…

The time evolution of a Gamma-ray burst (GRB) is associated with the evolution of a supernova remnant (SNR). The time evolution of the flux of a GRB is modeled introducing a law for the density of the medium in the advancing layer. The…

Time-resolved polarizations carry more physical information about the source of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) than the time-integrated ones. Therefore, they give more strict constrains on the models of GRB prompt phase. Both time-resolved and…

The observed delay in the arrival times between high and low energy photons in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been shown by Norris et al. to be correlated to the absolute luminosity of a GRB. Despite the apparent importance of this spectral…

We demonstrate that models of resonant cyclotron radiation transfer in a strong field (i.e. cyclotron scattering) can account for spectral lines seen at two epochs, denoted S1 and S2, in the Ginga data for GRB870303. Using a generalized…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are challenging to identify due to their transient nature, complex temporal profiles, and limited observational datasets. We address this with a one-dimensional convolutional neural network integrated with an…
