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 energy 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 compare the spectral properties of 227 Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) up to February 2010 with those of bursts detected by the CGRO/BATSE instrument. Out of 227 Fermi GRBs, 166 have a measured peak ener
gy E_peak_obs of their uF( u) spectrum: of these 146 and 20 belong the long and short class, respectively. Fermi long bursts follow the correlations defined by BATSE bursts between their E_peak_obs vs fluence and peak flux: as already shown for the latter ones, these correlations and their slopes do not originate from instrumental selection effects. Fermi/GBM bursts extend such correlations toward lower fluence/peak energy values with respect to BATSE ones whereas no GBM long burst with E_peak_obs exceeding a few MeV is found, despite the possibility of detecting them. Again as for BATSE, $sim$ 5% of long and almost all short GRBs detected by Fermi/GBM are outliers of the E_peak-isotropic equivalent energy (Amati) correlation while no outlier (neither long nor short) of the E_peak-isotropic equivalent luminosity (Yonetoku) correlation is found. Fermi long bursts have similar typical values of E_peak_obs but a harder low energy spectral index with respect to all BATSE events, exacerbating the inconsistency with the limiting slopes of the simplest synchrotron emission models. Although the short GRBs detected by Fermi are still only a few, we confirm that their E_peak_obs is greater and the low energy spectrum is harder than those of long ones. We discuss the robustness of these results with respect to observational biases induced by the differences between the GBM and BATSE instruments.
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.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution, with a separation between the short- and long-duration bursts at about 2 sec. The progenitors of long GRBs have been identified as massive stars based on their association with Type Ic
core-collapse supernovae, their exclusive location in star-forming galaxies, and their strong correlation with bright ultraviolet regions within their host galaxies. Short GRBs have long been suspected on theoretical grounds to arise from compact object binary mergers (NS-NS or NS-BH). The discovery of short GRB afterglows in 2005, provided the first insight into their energy scale and environments, established a cosmological origin, a mix of host galaxy types, and an absence of associated supernovae. In this review I summarize nearly a decade of short GRB afterglow and host galaxy observations, and use this information to shed light on the nature and properties of their progenitors, the energy scale and collimation of the relativistic outflow, and the properties of the circumburst environments. The preponderance of the evidence points to compact object binary progenitors, although some open questions remain. Based on this association, observations of short GRBs and their afterglows can shed light on the on- and off-axis electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources from the Advanced LIGO/Virgo experiments.
Prompt extra power-law (PL) spectral component is discovered in some bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which usually dominates the spectral energy distribution below tens of keV or above about 10 MeV. However, its origin is still unclear. In this paper
, we present a systematic analysis 13 Fermi short GRBs as of August 2020, with the contemporaneous keV-MeV and GeV detections at the prompt emission phase. We find that the extra PL component is a ubiquitous spectral feature for short GRBs, showing up in all 13 analyzed GRBs. The PL indices are mostly harder than -2.0, which may be well reproduced by considering the electromagnetic cascade induced by ultra-relativistic protons or electrons accelerated in the prompt emission phase. The average flux of these extra PL components positively correlates with that of the main spectral components, which implies they may share the same physical origin.
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.
