In this paper we show that this three-parameter correlation is robust and does not depend on our definition of E_{X,iso}. It is shared by long, short, and low-energetic GRBs, differently from the well-known E_{gamma,iso}-E_{pk} correlation. We speculate that the ultimate physical property that regulates the GRB properties is the outflow Lorentz factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-05T21:28:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long gamma-ray bursts", "universal scaling", "prompt emission energy spectrum", "kev energy band", "swift x-ray light-curves" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21487.x", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2012, "month": "Sep", "volume": 425, "number": 2, "pages": 1199 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1092951, "adsabs": "2012MNRAS.425.1199B" } } }
