In this paper, we restudy the spectral lag features of short bright gamma-ray bursts (T90 < 2.6s) with a BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) sample including 65 single pulse bursts. We also make an investigation on the characteristics of ratios between the spectral lag and the full width at half maximum ($FWHM$) of the pulses, called relative spectral lags (RSLs). We draw the conclusions as follows: 1) Spectral lags of short GRBs are normally distributed and concentrated on around the value of 0.014 with 40 percent of them having negative lags. With K-S test, we find the lag distribution is identical with a normal one caused by white noises, which indicates the lags of the vast majority of short bursts are so small that they are negligible as Norris et al. have suggested.

Using the data acquired in the Time To Spill (TTS) mode for long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) collected by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (BATSE/CGRO), we have carefully measured spectral lags in time
between the low (25-55 keV) and high (110-320 keV) energy bands of individual pulses contained in 64 multi-peak GRBs. We find that the temporal lead by higher-energy gamma-ray photons (i.e., positive lags) is the norm in this selected sample set of long GRBs. While relatively few in number, some pulses of several long GRBs do show negative lags. This distribution of spectral lags in long GRBs is in contrast to that in short GRBs. This apparent difference poses challenges and constraints on the physical mechanism(s) of producing long and short GRBs. The relation between the pulse peak count rates and the spectral lags is also examined. Observationally, there seems to be no clear evidence for systematic spectral lag-luminosity connection for pulses within a given long GRB.
Some recent studies exposed rather strong statistical evidence of in-vacuo-dispersion-like spectral lags for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), a linear correlation between time of observation and energy of GRB particles. Those results focused on testing in-va
cuo dispersion for the most energetic GRB particles, and in particular only included photons with energy at emission greater than 40 GeV. We here extend the window of the statistical analysis down to 5 GeV and find results that are consistent with what had been previously noticed at higher energies.
The distribution of GRB durations is bimodal, but there is little additional evidence to support the division of GRBs into short and long classes. Based on simple hardness ratios, several studies have shown a tendency for longer GRBs to have softer e
nergy spectra. Using a database of standard model fits to BATSE GRBs, we compare the distributions of spectral parameters for short and long bursts. Our preliminary results show that the average spectral break energy differs discontinuously between short and long burst classes, but within each class shows only a weak dependence on burst duration.
We study the spectral evolution of 13 short duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by the Gamma Burst Monitor (GBM) on board Fermi. We study spectra resolved in time at the level of 2-512 ms in the 8 keV-35 MeV energy range. We find a strong corre
lation between the observed peak energy Ep and the flux P within individual short GRBs. The slope of the Ep P^s correlation for individual bursts ranges between ~0.4 and ~1. There is no correlation between the low energy spectral index and the peak energy or the flux. Our results show that in our 13 short GRBs Ep evolves in time tracking the flux. This behavior is similar to what found in the population of long GRBs and it is in agreement with the evidence that long GRBs and (the still few) short GRBs with measured redshifts follow the same rest frame Ep-Liso correlation. Its origin is most likely to be found in the radiative mechanism that has to be the same in both classes of 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 afterglow
brightness of a SGRB can help revealing the origin of its progenitor binary. We find that a SGRB is likely to result from the primordial channel if it is observed within 10 kpc from the center of a massive galaxy and shows a detectable afterglow. The same conclusion holds if it is 100 kpc away from a small, isolated galaxy and shows a weak afterglow. On the other hand, a dynamical origin is suggested for those SGRBs with observable afterglow either at a large separation from a massive, isolated galaxy or with an offset of 10-100 kpc from a small, isolated galaxy. We discuss the possibility that SGRBs from the dynamical channel are hosted in intra-cluster globular clusters and find that GRB 061201 may fall within this scenario.
