Abstract
Using the gamma-ray bursts simultaneously detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM we performed a joint spectral and temporal analysis of the prompt emission data and confirm the rough correlation between the BAT-band photon index Gamma_BAT and the peak spectral energy Epeak. With the redshift known sub-sample, we derived the isotropic gamma-ray energy E_gamma,iso and also confirm the E_gamma,iso - Epeak,rest relation, with a larger scatter than the Amati sample but consistent with GBM team analyses. We also compare the T_90 values derived in the GBM band with those derived in the BAT band and find that for long GRBs the BAT T_90 is usually longer than the GBM T_90, while for short GRBs the trend reverses. This is consistent with the soft/hard nature of long/short GRBs and suggests the importance of an energy-dependent temporal analysis of GRBs.
