Abstract
The intermediate-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) identified in the data of the RHESSI satellite are investigated with respect to their spectral lags, peak count rates, redshifts, supernova observations, and star formation rates of their host galaxies. Standard statistical tests like Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Student t-test are used.
It is discussed whether these bursts belong to the group of so-called short or long GRBs, or if they significantly differ from both groups
