GMM clustering of X-ray GRB plateau properties (MNRAS 525, 2023)
Abstract
We apply unsupervised machine learning techniques to classify Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows based on their optical and X-ray plateau emission properties. By analysing a large sample of GRBs, we identify distinct classes of plateau behaviour that may reflect different physical mechanisms or progenitor populations. Our classification scheme provides a data-driven framework for understanding the diversity of GRB afterglow properties.
