On the Electron Energy Distribution Index of Swift Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows

The electron energy distribution index, p, is a fundamental parameter of the synchrotron emission from a rangeof astronomical sources. Here we examine one such source of synchrotron emission, gamma-ray burst (GRB)afterglows observed by the Swift satellite. Within the framework of the blast wave mode...
