English: Light curves (plots of the intensity of emission [in what units?] as a function of time) of 12 bright gamma-ray bursts detected by BATSE, a NASA mission aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. Gamma-ray bursts light curves display a tremendous amount of diversity and few discernable patterns. This sample includes short events and long events (duration ranging from milliseconds to minutes), events with smooth behavior and single peaks, and events with highly variable, erratic behavior with many peaks. Created with data from the public BATSE archive (http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/grb/catalog/).
