Curvature Effect of a Non-Power-Law Spectrum and Spectral Evolution of GRB X-Ray Tails
Bin-Bin Zhang, Bing Zhang, En-Wei Liang +1
The apparent spectral evolution observed in the steep decay phase of many GRB early afterglows raises a great concern of the high-latitude "curvature effect" interpretation of this…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Swift/XRT Data: III. Jet Break Candidates in X-ray and Optical Afterglow Lightcurves
En-Wei Liang, Judith L. Racusin, Bing Zhang +2
The Swift/XRT data of 179 GRBs (from 050124 to 070129) and the optical afterglow data of 57 pre- and post-Swift GRBs are analyzed, in order to systematically investigate the jet-li…
A Comprehensive Analysis of the Swift/XRT Data: II. Diverse Physical Origins of the Shallow Decay Segment
En-Wei Liang, Bin-Bin Zhang, Bing Zhang
We analyze the properties of the shallow decay segment with a sample of 53 long Swift GRBs. We show that the distributions of its characteristics are log-normal or normal, and its…
Making a Short Gamma-Ray Burst from a Long one: Implications for the Nature of GRB 060614
Bing Zhang, Bin-Bin Zhang, En-Wei Liang +3
The absence of a supernova accompanying the nearby long GRB 060614 poses a great puzzle about the progenitor of this event and challenges the current GRB classification scheme. Thi…
A comprehensive analysis of Swift/XRT data: I. Apparent spectral evolution of GRB X-ray tails
Bin-Bin Zhang, En-Wei Liang, Bing Zhang
An early steep decay component following the prompt GRBs is commonly observed in {\em Swift} XRT light curves, which is regarded as the tail emission of the prompt gamma-rays. Prom…
Temporal Profiles and Spectral Lags of XRF 060218
En-Wei Liang, Bin-Bin Zhang, Mike Stamatikos +5
The spectral and temporal properties of the non-thermal emission ofthe nearby XRF 060218 in 0.3-150 keV band are studied. We show that both the spectral energy distribution and the…
