Correlations of Prompt and Afterglow Emission in Swift Long and Short Gamma Ray Bursts

N. Gehrels, S. D. Barthelmy, D. N. Burrows +12

Correlation studies of prompt and afterglow emissions from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) between different spectral bands has been difficult to do in the past because few bursts had comp…
