Abstract

Gamma-ray bursts can be divided into three groups with respect to their durations. In this paper a new definition of the intermediate group is presented.

From this new definition it follows that 11% of all bursts belong to this group. An anticorrelation between the hardness and the duration is found for this subclass in contrast to the short and long groups.
