X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts observed with XMM-Newton
Abstract
Several afterglows of gamma-ray bursts have been observed so far with XMM- Newton. The unprecedented sensitivity of XMM-Newton telescopes allow a detailed study of spectral properties and variability of X-ray afterglows. We present X-ray af- terglow spectra of GRB001025, GRB011211, GRB020322 and compare these new observations with previous results of BeppoSAX, Asca and Chandra. We review ex- isting GRB afterglow models as relevant to the observations.
