Abstract

With the early afterglow localizations of gamma-ray burst positions made by Swift, the clear delimitation of the prompt phase and the afterglow is not so obvious any more. It is important to see weather the two phases have the same origin or they stem from different parts of the progenitor system.

We combine the two kinds of gamma-ray burst data from the Swift-XRT and BAT instruments.
