Abstract

Recent observations of broad-band afterglow of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggest that thestandard external shock model cannot account for all the data. The observed “afterglow” ofsome GRBs includes the contributions from at least three emission components.Theoretically, there are naturally three emission sites. Besides the traditional externalforward shock, the existence of X-ray flares demands late central engine activities of theGRB central engine, so that an “internal dissipation” region of the late wind is anotheremission site. After dissipation, this late wind would inevitably catch up with theblastwave, giving rise to a third emission site at a long-lasting reverse shock. Somerecent efforts in understanding the broadband afterglow are reviewed.
