Abstract

The prompt emission of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) is still an outstanding question in the study of these cataclysmic events. Part of what makes GRBs difficult to study is how unique each event seems to be. However, aggregating many GRB observations and analyzing the population allows us to obtain a better understanding of the emission mechanism that produces the observed prompt emission. In this review, we outline some of the most prevalent correlations that have emerged from GRB prompt emission observations and how these correlations are interpreted in relation to physical properties and prompt emission models of GRB.
