Evidence for a Canonical Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Light Curve in the Swift XRT Data

We present new observations of the early X-ray afterglows of the first 27 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) well observed by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT). The early X-ray afterglows show a canonical behavior, where the light curve broadly consists of three distinct power-law segments: (1) an initial very s...
