We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

According to the internal-external shocks model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the GRB is
produced by internal shocks within a relativistic flow while the afterglow is produced by …

We suggest a connection between the pulse paradigm at gamma-ray energies and the
recently demonstrated luminosity distribution in gamma-ray bursts: The spectral evolution …

The two high-redshift gamma-ray bursts, GRB 080913 at z= 6.7 and GRB 090423 at z= 8.2,
recently detected by Swift appear as intrinsically short, hard GRBs. They could have been …

Abstract 'Long'γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are commonly accepted to originate in the explosion of
particularly massive stars, which give rise to highly relativistic jets. Inhomogeneities in the …

We systematically reanalyzed all gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow data published through
the end of 2002 in an attempt to detect the predicted supernova light component and to gain …

We investigated the spectral evolution in the 2–700 keV energy band of gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs) detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) and localized with the Wide …

We present a comprehensive sample of X-ray observations of 41 γ-ray burst (GRB)
afterglows, as well as jet opening angles, &thetas; j, for a subset with measured jet breaks …

We report the possible detection (99.3% of statistical significance) of redshifted iron line
emission in the X-ray afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 970508 observed by BeppoSAX. Its …

We report the detection (3 σ significance level) of a strong iron emission line in the X-ray
spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 000214 (" Valentine's Day Burst") observed by BeppoSAX …
