TL;DR: The GRB-050410 afterglow light curve reveals the expected characteristics of the third component of the canonical Swift light curve and a complex phenomenology was detected in the GRB 050412 because of the presence of the very early break.

TL;DR: The first Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer (GRB050223) was discovered by the Swift Gamma-ray Burst Explorer on 23 February 2005 and was the first gamma-ray burst to be observed by both Swift and XMM-Newton as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The 2010 Astrophysics Decadal Survey recommended a significant technology development program towards realizing the scientific goals of the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). NASA has undertaken an Xray mission concepts study to determine alternative approaches to accomplishing IXO's high ranking scientific objectives over the next decade given the budget realities, which make a flagship mission challenging to implement.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of X-ray and optical observations of GRB 050712 performed by Swift were presented, showing that the burst exhibits episodes of flares in the first 1000 s, the same epoch at which the UVOT detected an optical counterpart.
