Decay properties of the X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts.

GENDRE B. and BOEER M.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present a set of seventeen Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshifts and X-ray afterglow emission. We apply cosmological corrections in order to compare their fluxes normalized at a redshift of 1. Two classes of GRB can be defined using their X-ray afterglow light curves. We show that the brightest afterglows seem to decay faster than the dimmer ones. We also point out evidence for a possible flux limit of the X-ray afterglow depending on the time elapsed since the burst. We try to interpret these observations in the framework of the canonical fireball model of GRB afterglow emission.
