  1. Bridging the gap between the prompt and the afterglow emission: the lag-luminosity relation… R. Margutti Harvard University LOS ALAMOS 2011

  2. Where do we stand Gamma-ray Prompt X-ray Flares Log(Flux) t-1 Is there any physical link between a prompt pulse and an X-ray flare? Swift Steep Decay Shallow Decay Normal Decay Log(Time) 10-100 s 102-103s ~104s

  3. Gamma-ray Prompt Temporal Properties 1.Pulse Asymmetry 2.Fast rise- Exponential decay Log(Flux) X-ray Flares Spectral Properties 1.Band spectral energy distribution 2.Peak energy evolution with time Ep(t) 3. Ep(t)-Liso(t) 4. Lag-Luminosity relation Log(Time) Margutti et al., 2010,MNRAS, 406, 2149 Flares are softer and less energetic time-stretched versions of a prompt pulse

  7. Different tools Different definitions (e.g. pulse-peak lag vs. CCF lag) 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… LOS ALAMOS 2011

  8. Different tools Different definitions (e.g. pulse-peak lag vs. CCF lag) 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 LOS ALAMOS 2011

  9. Progress requires: Homogenous analysis of a statistically significant number of GRBs Step 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 measure Time resolved approach to determine a MAP of the obs. properties of GRBswith time.
