Light-curves corresponding to reverse and forward shock emission assuming the ejecta responsible for the prompt emission is followed by slower moving outflow with Γs = 20, Ės = 2 × 1049 erg s-1 and lasting 6000 s, which makes the plateau. The tail of this material is characterized by the same Ė, lasting 400 s and with a declining Lorentz factor from Γ ≈ 20 down to Γ ≈ 1 with Γ(tinj) ∝ (tftinj)2/11. The reverse shock crossing this material accounts for a bump in the afterglow data. The time of the bump and the flux levels during and after the bump match the observed levels. We assume here A = 2.2,ϵe,f = 0.1,ϵB,f = 2.5 × 10-5,ϵe,r = 0.1,ϵB,r = 4 × 10-3,p = 2.15. The top panels correspond to the 1 keV light curve and the bottom panels correspond to the 1 eV light curve. Left: light curve for the reverse shock (blue dot-dashed line) and forward shock (red dashed line). A yellow solid line depicts the sum of the reverse and forward shock contributions. Right: the plots show the evolution of νc,R (blue circles), νm,R (red pluses), νc,f (yellow dashed line) and νm,f (purple dot-dashed line). The observed frequency is depicted by a horizontal line.
