The correlations between the rest frame peak of the EF_E spectrum of GRBs Epeak and their isotropic energy (E_iso) or luminosity (L_iso) could have several implications for the understanding of the GRB prompt emission. These correlations…
One of the most prominent, yet controversial associations derived from the ensemble of prompt-phase observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is the apparent correlation in the source frame between the peak energy Epeak) of the nu-F(nu)…
We extend a previous work on the intrinsic spectral properties and energetics of GRBs with known redshift based on 12 BeppoSAX events by including in the sample a total of 10 more events detected either by BATSE, BeppoSAX or HETE-2. An…
We probe the existence of the E_peak-E_iso correlation in long GRBs using a sample of 442 BATSE bursts with known E_peak and with redshift estimated through the lag-luminosity correlation. This sample confirms that the rest frame peak…
The correlation between the photon energy at which the redshift corrected nFn spectrum peaks (hence called "peak energy", Ep,i) and the isotropic equivalent radiated energy (Eiso), is one of the most intriguing and debated observational…
The correlation between the cosmological rest-frame nuFnu spectrum peak energy, Ep,i, and the isotropic equivalent radiated energy, Eiso, discovered by Amati et al. in 2002 and confirmed/extended by subsequent osbervations, is one of the…

We derive the peak luminosity - peak energy (L_iso - E_peak) correlation using 22 long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with firm redshift measurements. We find that its slope is similar to the correlation between the time integrated isotropic…
We present the most extensive sample of 45 type I (short) and 275 type II (long) gamma-ray bursts (GRB) with known redshift to investigate the correlation between the rest frame peak energy, Ep,i and the total isotropic equivalent energy,…
I investigate the origin of the observed correlation between a GRB's nuFnu spectral peak Epk and its isotropic equivalent energy Eiso through the use of a population synthesis code to model the prompt gamma-ray emission from GRBs. By using…
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) show evidence of different spectral shapes, light curves, duration, host galaxies and they explode within a wide redshift range. However, the most of them seems to follow very tight correlations among some observed…
We consider all bursts with known redshift and $\nu F_\nu$ peak energy, $E^{obs}_{peak}$. For a good fraction of them an estimate of the jet opening angle is available from the achromatic break of their afterglow light curve. This allows…
The correlations involving the long-GRB prompt emission energy represent a new key to understand the GRB physics. These correlations have been proved to be the tool which makes long-GRBs a new class of standard candles. Gamma Ray Bursts,…
We report a correlation based on a spectral simulation study of the prompt emission spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). The correlation is between the Epeak energy, which is the peak energy…
The energetics and emission mechanism of GRBs are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that the instantaneous peak flux or equivalent isotropic peak luminosity, L_iso ergs s^-1, rather than the integrated fluence or equivalent isotropic…
The use of Gamma Ray Bursts as ``standard candles'' has been made possible by the recent discovery of a very tight correlation between their rest frame intrinsic properties. This correlation relates the GRB prompt emission peak spectral…
Using a sample of 2408 time-resolved spectra for 91 BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) presented by Preece et al., we show that the relation between the isotropic-equivalent luminosity (L_iso) and the spectral peak energy (E_p) in the…
In this Letter we show that there is a redshift degeneracy in the Eiso-Epeak relation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If a GRB has a redshift solved from the Eiso-Epeak relation that lies in the range of 0.9<z<20, a GRB that has the same…
The energy emission involved in a Gamma-Ray Burst evidently can be estimated only provided that we know the distance to the source. The same is true for the peak energy of the event in the source rest frame. Redshifts have been actually…
We investigate the well-measured spectral and energetic properties of 20 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in their cosmological rest frames. We find a tight relation between the isotropic-equivalent gamma-ray energy Eiso, the local peak energy E'p…
