Spectral Properties of the Prompt X-ray emission and Afterglow from the Gamma-Ray Burst of 28 February 1997

F. Frontera, E. Costa, L. Piro +18

We report high-energy spectral data of the prompt emission of GRB970228 and its X-ray afterglow. We establish that the nature of the X-ray afterglow emission is non-thermal and sim…
