We analyze the temporal structure of long ((T_{90}>2sec)) and short ((T_{90}<2sec)) BATSE bursts. We find that: (i) In many short bursts (\delta t_{min}/T\ll 1) (where (\delta t_{min}) is the shortest pulse). This indicates that short…
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,…
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…
We analyze BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) data for short gamma-ray bursts (T90 duration < 2.6 s), studying spectral lag vs. peak flux and duration, as well as the number of distinct pulse structures per burst. Performing the…
We report evidence from the 3B Catalogue that short (T_90 < 10 s) and long (T_90 > 10 s) GRB represent different populations and processes: Their spectral behavior is qualitatively different, with short bursts harder in the BATSE range, but…
The distribution of GRB durations is bimodal, but there is little additional evidence to support the division of GRBs into short and long classes. Based on simple hardness ratios, several studies have shown a tendency for longer GRBs to…
We have carried out a detailed study of the morphology of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with time duration less than 100 ms that includes: (1) a fast-Fourier spectrum analysis, (2) a comparison with the Stern analysis of longer bursts, (3) an…
The recent association of several short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with early type galaxies with low star formation rate demonstrates that short bursts arise from a different progenitor mechanism than long bursts. However, since the duration…
We have investigated the time variations in the light curves from a sample of long and short Fermi/GBM Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) using an impartial wavelet analysis. The results indicate that in the source frame, the variability time scales…
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…
A temporal analysis has been performed on a sample of 100 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with T90<2s from the BATSE current catalog. The GRBs were denoised using a median filter and subjected to an automated pulse selection algorithm as an…
We determined the characteristic variability time scales (\Delta t_p) of 410 bright and long GRBs, by locating the peaks of their Power Density Spectra, defined and calculated in the time domain. We found that the averaged variability time…
We present the results of the spectral analysis of a sample of short bright $\gamma$--ray bursts (GRB) detected by BATSE and compare them with the average and time resolved spectral properties of long bright bursts. While the spectral…
In this paper, we restudy the spectral lag features of short bright gamma-ray bursts (T90 < 2.6s) with a BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) sample including 65 single pulse bursts. We also make an investigation on the characteristics of ratios…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are extremely energetic events and produce highly diverse light curves. Light curves are believed to be resulting from internal shocks reflecting the activities of the GRB central engine. Hence their temporal studies…
A temporal analysis was performed on a sample of 100 bright short GRBs with T90 < 2s from the BATSE Current Catalog along with a similar analysis on 319 long bright GRBs with T90 > 2s from the same catalog. The short GRBs were denoised…
Data from the 3B Catalogue suggest that short and long GRB are the results of different classes of events, rather than different parameter values within a single class: Short bursts have harder spectra in the BATSE bands, but chiefly long…
We show that external shocks cannot produce a variable GRB, unless they are produced by an extremely narrow jets (angular opening of < ~10^{-4}) or if only a small fraction of the shell emits the radiation and the process is very…
I discuss the spectral properties of short GRBs detected by BATSE and compare them with long events. The detailed modeling of short GRB spectra shows that their being (on average) harder than long events (as it has been found by comparing…
We searched for anomalously long GRBs (GRBs) in the archival records of the Burst and Transient Sources Experiment (BATSE). Ten obvious superlong (>500 s) GRBs with almost continuous emission episodes were found. Nine of these events are…
