Smooth optical self similar emission of gamma-ray bursts
arXiv:1707.00880 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/aa7e77
Abstract
We offer the new type of calibration for gamma-ray bursts (GRB), in which some class of GRB can be marked and has common behavior. We name this behavior Smooth Optical Self Similar Emission (SOS Similar Emission) and identify this subclass of gamma-ray bursts with optical light curves described by a universal scaling function.
