A statistical comparison of the optical/UV and X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts using the Swift Ultraviolet Optical and X-ray Telescopes

We present the systematic analysis of the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-rayTelescope (XRT) light curves for a sample of 26 Swift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). By comparingthe optical/UV and X-ray light curves, we found that they are remarkably different during thefirst 500 s after the Burst...
