Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are commonly attributed to the demise of massive stars or the merger of binary compact objects. However, their varied emission characteristics strongly imply the existence of multiple GRB classes based on progenitor…
We discuss gamma-ray bursts that have very hard spectra, consistent with black-body radiation, throughout their duration. We find that the temperature decay during a pulse can be well described by a broken power-law in time, with an…
Observations of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) with Swift produced the initially surprising result that many bursts have large X-ray flares superimposed on the underlying afterglow. The flares were sometimes intense, had rapid rise and decay…
