Testing the Standard Fireball Model of Gamma‐Ray Bursts Using Late X‐Ray Afterglows Measured by<i>Swift</i>

We show that all X-ray decay curves of GRBs measured by Swift can be fitted using one or two components both of which have exactly the same functional form comprised of an early falling exponential phase followed by a power law decay. The 1st component contains the prompt gamma-ray emission …
