On the nature of late X-ray flares in Swift gamma-ray bursts

Context. Previously detected in only a few gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), X-ray flares are now observed in ~50% of Swift GRBs, thoughtheir origins remain unclear. Most flares are seen early on in the afterglow decay, while some bursts exhibit flares at late times of 104to 105 s, which may have implication...
