The properties of the Short class of gamma-ray bursts are studied relative to the Internal Luminosity Function (ILF). The ILF is the distribution of luminosity within a gamma-ray burst and is thus an intrinsic burst property. The ILF of most bursts can be described accurately using a power-law index modified by a power-law curvature parameter. A flat power-law index indicates lots of high luminosity emission relative to low luminosity emission, while a steep power-law index indicates a large amount of high luminosity emission relative to low luminosity emission. Correlations between the ILF and other Short burst attributes are studied. This work is funded by NASA grant NRA-98-OSS-03 and NSF grant AST00-98499.
