The classification of Gamma-Ray Bursts has long been an unresolved problem. Early long and short burst classification based on duration is not convincing due to the significant overlap in duration plot, which leads to different views on the…

The duration of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a key indicator of its physics origin, with long bursts perhaps associated with the collapse of massive stars and short bursts with mergers of neutron stars.However, there is substantial overlap in…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified as Type I GRBs originated from compact binary mergers and Type II GRBs originated from massive collapsars. While Type I GRBs are typically shorter than 2 seconds, recent observations suggest that some…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been phenomenologically classified into long and short populations based on the observed bimodal distribution of duration. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations in recent years have revealed that in…

Two classes of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), short and long, have been determined without any doubts, and are usually ascribed to different progenitors, yet these classes overlap for a variety of descriptive parameters. A subsample of 46 long…

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are known to come in two duration classes, separated at ~2 s. Long bursts originate from star forming regions in galaxies, have accompanying supernovae (SNe) when near enough to observe and are likely caused by…

Traditionally, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified as long and short GRBs, with $T_{90} = 2$ s being the threshold duration. Generally, long-duration GRBs (LGRBs, $T_{90}>2$ s) are associated with the collapse of massive stars, and…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most energetic transients in the Universe, are traditionally classified into long-duration ($T_{90}>2$ s) and short-duration ($T_{90}<2$ s) events, associated with the core collapse of massive stars (Type II)…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are generally classified as Type~I GRBs, which originate from compact binary mergers, and Type~II GRBs, which originate from massive collapsars. The traditional correspondence between short--Type~I GRBs and…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) divide into two classes: "long", which typically have initial durations of T90>2s, and "short", with durations of T90<2s (where T90 is the time to detect 90% of the observed fluence). Long bursts, which on average…
