Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe. They are detectable up to very high redshifts, therefore can be used to study the expansion rate of the Universe and to investigate the observational properties of dark…
We present an interpretation of the phenomenological relations between the spectral peak, isotropic luminosity and duration of long gamma ray bursts that have been discovered by Amati et al., Ghirlanda et al., Firmani et al., and Liang &…
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…
We have studied power density spectra (PDS) of 206 long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). We fitted the PDS with a simple power-law and extracted the exponent of the power-law (alpha) and the noise-crossing threshold frequency (f_th). We find that…
Gamma ray burst (GRB) optical and X-ray afterglow luminosity is expected to correlate with the GRB isotropic equivalent kinetic energy of the outflow in the standard synchrotron model for GRB afterglows. Previous studies, using prompt GRB…
The E$_{\rm p,i}$--L$_{\rm iso}$ correlation of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) is regarded as a fundamental correlation for standardizing LGRBs to probe cosmology and constrain LGRB physics. However, this correlation may be affected by…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit a diversity of spectra. Several spectral models (e.g., Band, cutoff power-law, and blackbody) and their hybrid versions (e.g., Band+blackbody) have been widely used to fit the observed GRB spectra. Here, we…
In this paper we present a correlation between the peak spectral energy of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the peak bolometric luminosity of the underlying supernovae (SNe), based on a sample of four pairs of GRBs-SNe with spectroscopically…
We compile 23 Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) and 21 blazars with estimated Doppler factors, and the Doppler factors of GRBs are estimated from their Lorentz factors by assuming their jet viewing angles \theta->0 degree. Using the conventional…
It is proposed that the luminosity function, the rest-frame spectral correlations and distributions of cosmological Long-duration (Type-II) Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) may be very well described as multivariate log-normal distribution. This…
Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) collimation has been inferred with the observations of achromatic steepening in GRB light curves, known as jet breaks. Identifying a jet break from a GRB afterglow lightcurve allows a measurement of the jet opening…
In Nakar & Piran (2004) we have shown that a large fraction of BATSE bursts cannot satisfy the Amati relation between the isotropic energy - peak energy of GRBs. Our results have been corroborated by a further analysis carried out by Band…
The realization that the total energy of GRBs is correlated with their jet break angles motivates the search for a similar relation between the peak luminosity, $L$, and the jet break angles, $L\propto\theta^{-2}$. Such a relation implies…
The determination of distances is highly constrained to a small number of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) because it requires observations at different wavelengths. Some empirical functions to estimate redshifts have been identified using…
Using the gamma-ray bursts simultaneously detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM we performed a joint spectral and temporal analysis of the prompt emission data and confirm the rough correlation between the BAT-band photon index Gamma_BAT and…
Recently, Liang & Zhang (2005) found a tight correlation involving only observable quantities, namely the isotropic emitted energy $E_{\gamma,iso}$, the energy of the peak of the prompt spectrum $E^\prime_{p}$, and the jet break time…
A correlation is presented between the pulse lag and the jet-break time for seven BATSE gamma-ray bursts with known redshifts. This is, to our best knowledge, the first known direct tight correlation between a property of the gamma-ray…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to be the most violent explosions in the universe, and a variety of correlations between observable GRB properties have been proposed in literature, but none of these correlations is valid for both long…
At the dawn of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow era, a Cepheid-like correlation was discovered between time variability V and isotropic-equivalent peak luminosity Liso of the prompt emission of about a dozen long GRBs with measured…
We present the main results of a study of spectral and energetics properties of twelve gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with redshift estimates. All GRBs in our sample were detected by BeppoSAX in a broad energy range (2-700 keV). From the redshift…
