Table 3: Afterglow model tests using X-ray data. The condition for closure depends on whether $\nu _{\rm c} > \nu _{\rm X}$ or $\nu _{\rm c} < \nu _{\rm X}$ (Col. 2). p is the power-law index of the emitting electron population.
Model $\nu_{\rm c}$ b, c Closure p

ISM > $\nu_{\rm X}$ (-3/2, 1/2) $1.26\pm0.05$ $0.94\pm0.02$
