X-ray flare in XRF 050406: evidence for prolonged engine activity
P. Romano, A. Moretti, P. L. Banat +33
We present observations of XRF 050406, the first burst detected by Swift showing a flare in its X-ray light curve. During this flare, which peaks at t_peak ~210s after the BAT trig…
Swift and XMM observations of the dark GRB 050326
A. Moretti, A. De Luca, D. Malesani +30
We present Swift and XMM observations of GRB 050326, detected by Swift-BAT. The fluence was 7.7x10^-6 erg cm^-2 (20-150 keV), and its spectrum was hard, with a power law photon ind…
An unexpectedly rapid decline in the X-ray afterglow emission of long gamma-ray bursts
G. Tagliaferri, M. Goad, G. Chincarini +32
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are commonly accepted to originate in the explosion of particularly massive stars, which gives rise to a highly relativistic jet. Internal inhomogeneit…
Prompt and afterglow early X-ray phases in the comoving frame. Evidence for Universal properties?
G. Chincarini, A. Moretti, P. Romano +38
We analyze the Swift XRT light curves and spectra of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which the redshift has been measured. The sample consists of seven GRBs. The soft X-ray light c…
