XRF 050406 late-time flattening: an inverse Compton component?

CORSI A. and PIRO L.

Abstract (from CDS):

We investigate for possible evidence of inverse Compton (IC) emission in the X-ray afterglow of XRF 050406.In the framework of the standard fireball model, we show how the late-time flattening observed in the X-ray light curve between ∼104s and ∼106s can be explained in a synchrotron-plus-IC scenario when the IC peak frequency crosses the X-ray band. We thus conclude that the appearance of an IC component above the synchrotron one at late times successfully accounts for these X-ray observations.
