Abstract.
Fast spectralv ariability of gamma-ray burst emission is considered for a number of events seen by the Konus-Wind experiment. The variability manifests itself as a strong correlation between instantaneous energy flux F and peak energy E p . In the (F,E p ) plane, the correlation produces distinct tracks in the form of branches and loops representing the different parts of a burst time history. Despite the variety of features seen in different events, the main characteristics of the spectralev olution produce a quite consistent pattern.
