At the end of the slow decline phase of the X-ray and optical afterglow, this burst shows a sudden and prominent rebrightening in the optical band only, followed by a fast decay in both bands. The optical rebrightening also shows chromatic evolution. Such a puzzling behaviour cannot be explained by a single component model. We discuss other possible interpretations, and we find that a model that incorporates a long-lived reverse shock and forward shock fits the temporal and spectral properties of GRB100814A the best.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-05T19:22:05.000Z", "abstract": "We present a wide dataset of gamma-ray, X-ray, UVOIR, and radio observations of the Swift GRB100814A.
