Scientific paper

Gamma-ray Burst monitor onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been designed to detect and study Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) over a an energy range of 8 keV to 40 MeV. It is now well known that short (duration shorter than 2 s) and long GRBs form two distinct classes of GRBs. We analyze GRBs by determining lags and variability timescales, and by fitting pulses in the light-curves. We search for correlations between lags, variability and pulse shape parameters and other burst characteristics,such as duration, fluence, and hardness ratio. These studies are carried out on both bright short and long GRBs detected by GBM. We then study the correlation of these properties of the two classes, which could be attributed to some fundamental differences between them.
