      Watson, D.; Hjorth, J.; Jakobsson, P.; Xu, D.; Fynbo, J.; Sollerman, J.; Thone, C.C.; Pedersen, K. (2006)
      Context. From the small sample of afterglow lightcurves of short duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs), the decays are rapid, roughly following a power-law in time. It has been assumed that the afterglow emission in short GRBs is ...
