If you use any of these data, please cite Evans et al. (2009), which describes how these products were created (see the usage policy for more information).
This light curve comes from the light curve repository (if you use it, please cite Evans et al [2007, 2009]. Flares, marked by cross-hatched regions, are identified automatically, but may have been manually corrected. These are excluded from the fit. Any power-law breaks added to the fit must be required at the 4-σ level (according to an f-test) to be included in the best-fit. Details of all fits attempted are given below the plot. For more information see the light curve fitting documentation.

Spectra have been created for each power-law segment in the best fitting light curve (shown above). Times of flaring have not been removed, however this makes little difference to most spectra (see Fig 7/8c of Evans et al. 2009). For more information see the time-resolved spectroscopy documentation.

The plots below show the probability density functions of the temporal and time-averaged spectral parameters for all GRBs, with the data for GRB 100504A shown on in colour. Click the images for larger versions.
For all plots, the solid vertical lines mark the values for this GRB, and the dashed lines the 1-σ uncertainties. For α and Tb, the colour changes for each phase. For the spectral parameters, the WT fits are shown in blue and the PC in red. These figures correspond to Figs. 5,6, 7a and 8a of Evans et al. (2009). See the PDF documentation for more information.

The plots below show (α, β) scatter plots for each of the different types/phases of light curves (see light-curve types), since GRB 100504A is of type, "Oddball," which has no scatter plots of its own. GRB 100504A is shown in colour, with each light curve phase, or XRT mode marked by a different colour. α and β are the temporal and spectral energy power-law indices respectively. The shaded regions mark those allowed by the standard closure relationships. These figures correspond to Fig. 10 of Evans et al. (2009). See the closure relationship documentation for more information.
