<i>Swift</i> Observations of GRB 050128: The Early X-Ray Afterglow
Swift discovered GRB 050128 with the Burst Alert Telescope and promptly pointed its narrow field instruments to monitor the afterglow. X-ray observations started 108 s after the trigger time. The early decay of the afterglow is relatively flat, with a temporal decay modeled with a power-law index of ~-0.3. A …
