The principal paradigm for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggests that the prompt transient gamma-ray signal arises from multiple shocks internal to the relativistic expansion. This paper explores how GRB prompt emission spectra can constrain…

In this paper, we simulate the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) prompt emission light curve, spectrum and $E_p$ evolution patterns within the framework of the Internal-Collision-induced MAgnetic Reconnection and Turbulence (ICMART) model. We show…

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are classified into long and short categories based on their durations. Broad band studies suggest that these two categories of objects roughly correspond to two different classes of progenitor systems, i.e. compact…

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) show evidence of different light curves, duration, afterglows, host galaxies and they explode within a wide redshift range. However, their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) appear to be very similar showing a…

The gamma-ray burst GRB 180720B is very peculiar. On one hand, some interesting features have been found by performing the detailed time-resolved spectral analysis in the prompt phase. First, the `flux-tracking' pattern is exhibited both…

We have performed a joint analysis of prompt emission from four bright short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the Suzaku-WAM and the Konus-Wind experiments. This joint analysis allows us to investigate the spectral properties of short-duration…

The origins of the main burst and second burst of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the composition of their jets remain uncertain. To explore this complex subject more thoroughly, we conduct a spectral analysis on 18 GRBs with a main and a…

There is no consensus yet on whether the precursor and the main burst of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have the same origin, and their jet composition is still unclear. In order to further investigate this issue, we systematically search 21 Fermi…

There is no consensus on the emission mechanism of $\gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs). A synchrotron model can produce $\gamma$-ray spectra with the empirical Band function form, from a piece-wise two-power-law electron energy distribution (2EPLS).…
