Top panel: Rest frame X-ray light curve of GRB 240218A (blue line) compared with those of the BAT6 sample (grey curves), all in the common rest-frame energy range 2–10 keV. The burst is consistent with the most luminous curves of the sample. Bottom panel: Same as above but normalised with respect to the isotropic equivalent energy, E_iso (data for the BAT6 sample from Nava et al. 2012). GRB 240218A is fully consistent with the population of LGRBs.
