Scientific paper

Relativistic shock models predict that GRB afterglows are produced only if an energetic population of particles are accelerated and evolve at late times. Strong X-ray afterglows are not expected by the brightest GRBs if severe cooling during the burst suppresses the energetic lepton population. Single (prompt) and/or multiple acceleration episodes during and after the bursts can explain the X-ray and optical observations. BeppoSAX and ASCA observations of X-ray afterglows are inconsistent with neutron star cooling models and spindown energy dissipation of magnetized compact stars.
