The prompt-afterglow connection in Gamma-Ray Bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves

R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni, M. G. Bernardini +20

We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilit…

Lag-luminosity relation in gamma-ray burst X-ray flares: a direct link to the prompt emission

R. Margutti, C. Guidorzi, G. Chincarini +4

The temporal and spectral analysis of 9 bright X-ray flares out of a sample of 113 flares observed by Swift reveals that the flare phenomenology is strictly analogous to the prompt…

Unveiling the origin of X-ray flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts

G. Chincarini, J. Mao, R. Margutti +10

We present an updated catalog of 113 X-ray flares detected by Swift in the ~33% of the X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB). 43 flares have a measured redshift. For the first…

GRB081028 and its late-time afterglow re-brightening

R. Margutti, F. Genet, J. Granot +19

Swift captured for the first time a smoothly rising X-ray re-brightening of clear non-flaring origin after the steep decay in a long gamma-ray burst (GRB): GRB081028. A rising phas…

GRB090111: extra soft steep decay emission and peculiar re-brightening

R. Margutti, T. Sakamoto, G. Chincarini +8

We present a detailed study of GRB090111, focusing on its extra soft power-law photon index Gamma>5 at the very steep decay phase emission (power-law index alpha=5.1, steeper than…

Flares in Gamma Ray Bursts (II)

G. Chincarini, R. Margutti, J. Mao +4

We illustrate some of the preliminary results obtained with a new sample of flares and a new analysis. In these proceedings we deal mainly with the analysis related to the flare en…
