Scientific paper

We define a new characteristic photon energy for the Band function, Ewz, and describe a new way of estimating the peak luminosity of the prompt emission from GRBs, Liso, which is not dependent on the time binning. We show that Ewz and Liso are correlated for all bursts, long and short. The new photon energy-luminosity relationship gives us a strong indication that the underlying process responsible for the prompt GRB emission is thermal.
