We present results of variability study of a sample of 20 powerful blazars using Fermi/LAT (0.1--300 GeV) observations. We studied decade-long observations applying various analysis tools such as flux distribution, symmetry analysis, and…
We study the spectra of short-bright GRBs detected by BATSE and compare them with the average and time resolved spectral properties of long-bright bursts. We confirm that short events are harder than long bursts, as already found from the…
The occurrence of the first significant digits from real world sources is usually not equally distributed, but is consistent with a logarithmic distribution instead, known as Benford's law. In this work, we perform a comprehensive…
I present an analysis of the gamma-ray and afterglow energies of the complete sample of 17 short duration GRBs with prompt X-ray follow-up. I find that 80% of the bursts exhibit a linear correlation between their gamma-ray fluence and the…
We have performed searches for isolated flares and for steady flickering in Gamma Ray Burst light curves on the microsecond to millisecond time scales. Two bursts out of our sample of 20 revealed four isolated flares with time scales from…
This paper reports statistically significant correlations between various burst parameters, observed in a sample of 156 GRBs belonging to BATSE 4B catalog with T90 less than 2 s. The number of subpulses in a burst is strongly correlated not…
We have averaged bright BATSE bursts to uncover the average overall temporal and spectral evolution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We align the temporal structure of each burst by setting its duration to a standard duration, which we call…
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…
The search for feebly-interacting new-physics particles in the MeV-GeV mass range often involves high-intensity beams dumped into thick heavy targets. The challenge of evaluating the expected backgrounds for these searches from first…
Photon yields in damp air excited by an electron using a Sr90 $\beta$ source are compared withthose in dry air. Water vapors considerably reduce the yields, however, a further study is needed to evaluate the effects on the energy estimation…
Gamma-ray bursts of short duration may harbor vital clues to the range of phenomena producing bursts. However, recent progress from the observation of optical counterparts has not benefitted the study of short bursts. We have searched for…
Simple models for lensing potentials that successfully reproduce the positions of quadruple images to high accuracy fail abysmally in reproducing the flux ratios of the multiple images, suggesting the presence of small scale structure…
We report evidence from the 3B Catalogue that long ($T_{90} > 10$ s) and short ($T_{90} < 10$ s) gamma-ray bursts represent distinct source populations. Their spatial distributions are significantly different, with long bursts having…
On the grounds of both widely known experimental and numerical data of the strain-rate tensor statistical properties in the fully developed incompressible turbulent flow and the integral transformations deduced in the article, some…
The statistical properties of the soft gamma repeater SGR J1550--5418 are investigated carefully. We find that the cumulative distributions of fluence, peak flux and duration can be well fitted by a bent power law, while the cumulative…
The modified version of a bullet model for gamma ray bursts is studied. The central engine of the source produces multiple sub-jets that are contained within a cone. The emission of photons in the source frame of a sub-jet either takes part…
The statistical properties of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 are investigated. We find that the cumulative distributions of fluence, flux density, total energy and waiting time can be well fitted by the bent power law. In…
Earlier classification analyses found three types of gamma-ray bursts (short, long and intermediate in duration) in the BATSE sample. Recent works have shown that these three groups are also present in the RHESSI and the BeppoSAX databases.…
Blazars exhibit stochastic flux variability across the electromagnetic spectrum, often exhibiting heavy-tailed flux distributions, commonly modeled as lognormal. However, Tavecchio et al. (2020) and Adams et al. (2022) found that the…
We studied the distribution of the GRBs, observed by the Fermi satellite, in the multidimensional parameter space consisting of the duration, Fluence, Peak flux and Peak energy (if it was available). About 10% of the Fermi bursts was…
