Aims. The aim of the study is to constrain the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analysing the multi-wavelength afterglow data set of GRB 121024A that covers the full range from radio to X-rays. Methods. Using multi-epoch broad-band…

Recent Fermi results have focused attention on gamma-ray burst's (GRB) prompt emission phase, which is rich in phenomenology and poorly understood. The broad band spectra observed by Fermi does not fit into any of the frameworks of existing…
