abstract = "The paradigm for gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission is
changing. Since early in the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO)
era, the empirical Band function has been considered a good
description of the keV-MeV \γ-ray prompt emission spectra
despite the fact that its shape was very often inconsistent with
the theoretical predictions, especially those expected in pure
synchrotron emission scenarios. We have recently established a new
observational model analyzing data of the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray
Space Telescope. In this model, GRB prompt emission would be a
combination of three main emission components: (i) a thermal-like
component that we have interpreted so far as emission from the jet
photosphere, (ii) a non-thermal component that we have interpreted
so far as either synchrotron radiation from the propagating and
accelerated charged particles within the jet or reprocessed jet
photospheric emission, and (iii) an additional non-thermal
(cutoff) power law (PL) extending from low to high energies in
\γ-rays and most likely of inverse Compton origin. In this
article we reanalyze some of the bright GRBs, namely GRBs 941017,
970111, and 990123, observed with the Burst And Transient Source
Experiment (BATSE) on board CGRO with the new model. We conclude
that BATSE data for these three GRBs are fully consistent with the
recent results obtained with Fermi: some bright BATSE GRBs exhibit
three separate components during the prompt phase with similar
spectral parameters as those reported from Fermi data. In
addition, the analysis of the BATSE GRBs with the new prompt
emission model results in a relation between the time-resolved
energy flux of the non-thermal component, Fi nTh, and its
corresponding \νF\ν spectral peak energy, Epeak, i nTh
(i.e., Fi nTh - Epeak, i nTh), which has a similar index - when
fitted to a PL - as the one initially derived from Fermi data. For
GRBs with known redshifts (z) this results in a possible universal
relation between the luminosity of the non-thermal component, Li
nTh, and its corresponding \νFv spectral peak energy in the
rest frame, Epeak,i NT,rest(i.e.,Li nTh - Epeak,i NT,rest). We
estimated the redshifts of GRBs 941017 and 970111 using GRB 990123
- with z = 1.61 - as a reference. The estimated redshift for GRB
941017 is typical for long GRBs and the estimated redshift for GRB
970111 is right in the range of the expected values for this
burst.",
