Is there any physical
link between a
prompt pulse and an X-ray
flare?

X-ray Flares
Flares are softer and less energetic time-stretched versions of a prompt pulse

Temporal Properties1.Pulse Asymmetry
2.Fast rise- Exponential decay
Spectral Properties1.Band spectral energy distribution
2.Peak energy evolution with time Ep(t)3. Ep(t)-Liso(t)
4. Lag-Luminosity relation

PULSE property vs. Time-averaged measurements
Strongly dependent on the definition of the energy bands used
Using rest-frame defined energy bands is enough?

No Homogeneity + Difficult to model

Progress requires:
Homogenous analysis of a statistically significant number of GRBsStep back to the analysis of more basic effects that are known to contribute to the lag measure to understand how each of them is correlated to the final lag measureTime resolved approach to determine a MAP of the obs. properties of GRBs with time.

1) Selection of a GRB
2) Production of a MAP of properties
3) Writing of a document
ACT as a TEAMUseful for FUNDING(we have
something to show..)
