The SBPL was chosen to enable direct comparison with the spectral form of the svuchrotron shock model.
The SBPL was chosen to enable direct comparison with the spectral form of the synchrotron shock model.
Because we are interested dn the spectral behavior during late times of the burst. the CONT data-type from individual detectors is the optimum choice of available data-tvpes from the LADs.

CONT affords the best compromise between temporal aud οποίον coverage. with 16 enerev channels and 2.018 s time resolution.
CONT affords the best compromise between temporal and energy coverage, with 16 energy channels and 2.048 s time resolution.
Coarse temporal and energv bius are required as we are dealing with a signal that coutinuously decavs with time.
Coarse temporal and energy bins are required as we are dealing with a signal that continuously decays with time.
