Context. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have traditionally been classified by duration into long (LGRBs) and short (SGRBs), with the former believed to originate from massive star collapses and the latter from compact binary mergers. However,…

A gravitationally lensed gamma-ray burst (GRB) would appear as multiple bursts with identical light curves, separated in time and differing only by the scaling of their amplitudes. However, noise may make them difficult to identify as…

Radio-interferometric arrays require very precise calibration to detect the Epoch of Reionization 21-cm signal. A remarkably complete and accurate sky model is therefore needed in the patches of the sky used to perform the calibration.…

It is now generally accepted that long-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are due to the collapse of massive rotating stars. The precise collapse process itself, however, is not yet fully understood. Strong winds, outbursts, and intense…

Sorted by the photon fluences of short Gamma-ray Bursts (SGRBs) detected by the Fermi- Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM), nine brightest bursts are selected to perform a comprehensive analysis. All GRB lightcurves are fitted well by 1 to 3…

We studied the complete randomness of the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE. Since GRBs seem to be a mixture of objects of different physical nature we divided the BATSE sample into 5 subsamples (short1,…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to be the most violent explosions in the universe, and a variety of correlations between observable GRB properties have been proposed in literature, but none of these correlations is valid for both long…

The lag-luminosity relation for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is an anti-correlation between the time lag, tau_lag, which represents the delay between the arrival of hard and soft photons, and the isotropic peak luminosity, L. In this paper, we…

Due to their highly luminous nature, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are useful tools in studying the early Universe (up to z = 10). We consider whether the available subset of Swift high redshift GRBs are unusual when compared to analogous…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are fascinating events due to their panchromatic nature. We study optical plateaus in GRB afterglows via an extended search into archival data. We comprehensively analyze all published GRBs with known redshifts and…

Several correlations among Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) observables with available redshifts have been recently identified. Proper evaluation and calibration of these correlations may facilitate the use of GRBs as standard candles constraining the…
