The intensity-tracking pattern in GRB prompt spectra divides into three subclasses: aligned peaks (Type I), Ep before flux (Type II, dominant), and Ep after flux (Type III).
Decaying magnetic fields in fast-cooling synchrotron emission partially harden the low-energy index but still produce a distribution centered near α ≈ −1.5, falling short of reproducing the observed GBM catalog at the population level.
Spectral width increases with time in GRB 220426A and GRB 230812B, challenging single-zone emission models and supporting multi-zone prompt emission.
GRB 110801A shows double-burst gamma-ray emission with an early-rising optical afterglow from the first burst preceding the second prompt episode, modeled via reverse and forward shocks yielding Gamma_0 ~60, theta_j ~0.09, and E_k,iso ~10^54.8 erg.
