Comparative properties of X-Ray Flashes and Gamma-Ray Bursts from BeppoSAX observations of Fast X-ray Transients
L. Piro, G. Gianfagna, J. J. M. in't Zand +5
We present the homogeneous and complete sample of 96 bona-fide Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by the Wide Field Cameras and Gamma Ray Burst Monitor of BeppoSAX. We derive the spe…
The hidden population of long gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers
R. Maccary, C. Guidorzi, L. Amati +6
Context. The prompt-emission time profiles of GRB 230307A and other long-duration compact object merger (COM) candidates exhibit a unique set of temporal properties, characterised…
Gamma-ray burst taxonomy: looking for the third class on the spectral peak energy-duration plane in the rest frame
Anastasia Tsvetkova, Lorenzo Amati, Mattia Bulla +8
Two classes of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), corresponding to the short/hard and the long/soft events, with a putative intermediate class, are typically considered in the observer frame…
A search for periodic activity in multi-peaked long gamma-ray bursts
C. Guidorzi, M. Orlandini, R. Maccary +10
A sizeable fraction of gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves (LCs) features a sequence of peaks, which holds information on the unknown way energy is dissipated into gamma-rays over t…
