We show the locations of the SWIFT short hard bursts (SHB) with afterglows on the Galactic map and compare with the very short bursts (VSB) BATSE events. As we have pointed out before, there is an excess of events in the Galactic map of…
We present the state of current research of Very Short Gamma Ray Bursts (VSGRBs) from seven GRB detectors. We found that VSGRBs form distinct class of GRBs, which in our opinion, in most cases can originate from the evaporating Primordial…
More than a decade ago we identified a class of VSGRB (T90 < 100 ms) as having unusual properties: (1) galactic position asymmetry, (2) very hard gamma spectrum, (3) possible evidence for galactic origin of these events. We now study the…
The detection of the afterglow emission and host galaxies of short-hard gamma-ray bursts (SHBs) is one of the most exciting recent astronomical discoveries. Indications that SHB progenitors belong to old stellar populations, in contrast 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…
We systematically study the shortest time duration gamma ray bursts and find unique features that are best interpreted as sources of a galactic origin. There is a significant angular asymmetry and the V/Vmax distribution provides evidence…
We discuss a very peculiar subgroup of gamma-ray bursts among the BATSE sources. These bursts are very short ($T_{90} \le $0.1 s), hard, and came predominantly from a restricted direction of the sky (close to the Galactic anti-center). We…
Our recent studies of Very Short Gamma Ray Bursts (VSB) of duration T_{90} \le 100 ms have indicated a significant angular asymmetry and a uniform V/V_{max} distribution from the BATSE data. Here we update these studies, and we extend our…
Short-hard and long-soft gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are two distinct phenomena, but their prompt and afterglow emission show many similarities. This suggests that two different progenitor systems lead to similar physical processes and that the…
We present a systematic search for signatures of terminal black-hole evaporation in short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) catalogs. An exploding primordial black hole (PBH) undergoing final-stage Hawking radiation is predicted to produce a…
There is strong evidence for the existence of black holes(BHs) in some X-ray binaries and most galatic nuclei, based on different measuremental approaches, but black holes aren't finally identified for the lack of very firm observational…
Recent observations with Swift have begun to uncover $\gamma$-ray transients whose total energies are comparable to those of gamma-ray bursts (GRB), but have a duration an order of magnitude or more longer than the bulk of the GRB…
The recent evidence that the light curves and the spectra of the afterglows of GRB 970228 and GRB 980326 appear to contain a SN component, in addition to a relativistic shock wave component, provide direct clues that at least the long GRBs…
Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) are expected to form from the coalescence of compact binaries, either of primordial origin or from dynamical interactions in globular clusters. In this paper, we investigate the possibility that the offset and…
A growing number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows is observed at very-high energies (VHE, $\gtrsim 100$ GeV). Yet, our understanding of the mechanism powering the VHE emission remains baffling. We make use of multi-wavelength…
Before the BATSE/GRO launch GRBs seem to be a uniform phenomenon with duration up to about 100 seconds. The BATSE has detected many events longer than 100 s and a few longer than 500s. We performed the off-line scan of the 1024 ms…
The Short GAmma Ray Front Air Cherenkov Experiment (SGARFACE) uses the Whipple 10 m telescope to search for bursts of $\gamma$ rays. SGARFACE is sensitive to bursts with duration from a few ns to $\sim$20 $\mu$s and with $\gamma$-ray energy…
We extract 18 candidate short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) with precursors from 660 SGRBs observed by {\em Fermi} and {\em Swift} satellites, and carry out a comprehensive analysis on their temporal and spectral features. We obtain the…
Ultracompact primordial black hole binaries with masses > 10^{16} g are considered. If PBHB's contribute significant part of the dark matter of the Galaxy one can expect an existence of high-frequent non-thermal diffuse gravitational…
We have recently completed a search of 6 years of archival BATSE data for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were too faint to activate the real-time burst detection system running onboard the spacecraft. These "non-triggered" bursts can be…
