We analyze BATSE 64-ms data for long gamma-ray bursts (T90 > 2.6 s), exploring the relationships between spectral lag, duration, and the number of distinct pulses per burst, Npulses. We measure durations using a brightness-independent…

We find and study a variety of the spectral-temporal behavior during the decay phase of the light curve of long and bright pulse structures in gamma-ray bursts. It was earlier found that for about half of these decays, the instantaneous…

The Space-based multiband astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), detected its first short gamma-ray burst, GRB 240715A, in-flight, which was jointly observed by Fermi. Based on observational data of SVOM/GRM and Fermi/GBM, we perform…

In the external shock model, gamma-ray burst (GRB) emissions are produced by the energization and deceleration of a thin relativistic blast wave due to its interactions with the circumburst medium (CBM). We study the physical properties of…

In early October 2008, the Soft Gamma Repeater SGRJ1550 - 5418 (1E 1547.0 - 5408, AXJ155052 - 5418, PSR J1550 - 5418) became active, emitting a series of bursts which triggered the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) after which a second…

We discuss here constraints on the particle acceleration models from the observed gamma-ray bursts spectra. The standard synchrotron shock model assumes that some fraction of available energy is given instantaneously to the electrons which…
