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…

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…

The light curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are believed to result from internal shocks reflecting the activity of the GRB central engine. Their temporal deconvolution can reveal potential differences in the properties of the central…

In order to better understand the physical origin of short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we perform time-resolved spectral analysis on a sample of 70 pulses in 68 short GRBs with burst duration $T_{90}\lesssim2$ s detected by the…

Using a theoretical model describing pulse shapes, we have clarified the relations between the observed pulses and their corresponding timescales, such as the angular spreading time, the dynamic time as well as the cooling time. We find…

A sizeable fraction of gamma-ray burst (GRB) time profiles consist of a temporal sequence of pulses. The nature of this stochastic process carries information on how GRB inner engines work. The so-called interpulse time defines the interval…

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,…

The temporal properties of a sample of 498 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with durations between 0.05 s and 674 s were analysed. The large range in duration (T90) is accompanied by a similarly large range in the median values of the pulse…

We present a simple, semi-analytical model to explain GRB temporal and spectral properties in the context of the internal shock model. Each individual pulse in the temporal profiles is produced by the deceleration of fast moving material by…

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…

The hard X-ray and gamma-ray phenomenology of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be explained by an external shock model where a single relativistic blast wave interacts with the surrounding medium. Besides reproducing the generic spectral…

We have investigated the bimodal distribution of the duration of BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analyzing light curves of 64 ms time resolution. We define the average pulse width of GRBs from the auto-correlation function of GRB profiles.…

We analyze a sample of bright long bursts and find that the pulses duration have a lognormal distribution while the intervals between pulses have an excess of long intervals (relative to lognormal distribution). This excess can be explained…
