An intrinsic correlation between GRB optical/UV afterglow brightness and decay rate

We examine 48 Swift/UVOT long Gamma-ray Burst light curves and find a correlation between the logarithmic luminosity at 200 s and average decay rate determined from 200 s onwards, with a Spearman rank coefficient of −0.58 at a significance of 99.998% (4.2σ). We determine the log L200s − α > 200s...
