The afterglow of GRB 090426 (thick blue line) in comparison with the afterglows of type II (thing gray lines) and type I (red symbols and lines; squares connected by splines are detections, downward triangles connected by thin dashed lines are upper limits) GRBs from the sample of Kann et al. (2011, 2010). These afterglows have been corrected for Galactic extinction, and the host galaxy contribution has been subtracted where possible (also in the case of GRB 090426). The afterglow of GRB 090426 is seen to be among the faint type II GRB afterglows, but it is brighter than most type I GRB afterglows or limits thereon.
