Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows as Probes of Environment and Blast Wave Physics. II. The Distribution of p and Structure of the Circumburst Medium

We constrain blast wave parameters and the circumburst media of a subsample of 10 BeppoSAX gamma-ray bursts(GRBs). For this sample we derive the values of the injected electron energy distribution index, p, and the densitystructure index of the circumburst medium, k, from simultaneous spectral fits...
