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…

The spectral-temporal properties of the prompt pulses and rapid decay phase of GRBs

R. Willingale, F. Genet, J. Granot +1

The prompt emission from GRBs is the brightest electromagnetic emission known yet it's origin is not understood. The flux density of individual prompt pulses of a GRB can be repres…

The long rapid decay phase of the extended emission from the short GRB 080503

Franck Genet, Nathaniel R. Butler, Jonathan Granot

GRB080503 was classified as a short GRB with extended emission (Perley et al. 2009). The origin of such extended emission (found in about a quarter of Swift short GRBs) is still un…

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…

Rise and fall of the X-ray flash 080330: an off-axis jet?

C. Guidorzi, C. Clemens, S. Kobayashi +31

X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum, Ep, below 30 keV, whereas classical GRBs have Ep of a few hundreds…

Is the Rapid Decay Phase from High Latitude Emission?

F. Genet, J. Granot

There is good observationnal evidence that the Steep Decay Phase (SDP) that is observed in most Swift GRBs is the tail of the prompt emission. The most popular model to explain the…
