We test the hypothesis that prompt gamma-ray burst pulse emission starts simultaneously at all energies (the Pulse Start Conjecture). Our analysis, using a sample of BATSE bursts observed with four channel, 64-ms data and performed using a…

A simple mathematical model of GRB pulses in time, suggested in Norris et al. (2005), is extended across energy. For a class of isolated pulses, two of those parameters appear effectively independent of energy. Specifically, statistical…

Many cosmological models of GRBs envision the energy source to be a cataclysmic stellar event leading to a relativistically expanding fireball. Particles are thought to be accelerated at shocks and produce nonthermal radiation. The highly…

We analyze pulse properties of Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from a new catalog containing 434 pulses from 387 BATSE Time-Tagged Event (TTE) GRBs. Short GRB pulses exhibit correlated properties of duration, fluence, hardness, and amplitude,…

A simple test for time-asymmetry is devised and carried out on the brightest gamma-ray bursts detected by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the {\it Compton} Gamma Ray Observatory. We show evidence that individual…

We demonstrate that distinguishable gamma-ray burst pulses exhibit similar behaviors as evidenced by correlations among the observable pulse properties of duration, peak luminosity, fluence, spectral hardness, energy-dependent lag, and…

The prompt emission of Gamma Ray Bursts extends from the early pulses observed in gamma-rays (>15 keV) to very late flares of X-ray photons (0.3-10 keV). The duration of prompt gamma-ray pulses is rather constant while the width of X-ray…
