Diverse Features of the Multiwavelength Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Natural or Special?

The detection of optical rebrightenings and X-ray plateaus in the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) challenges the generic external shock model. Recently, we have developed a numerical method to calculate the dynamics of the system consisting of a forward shock and a reverse shock. Here, we brie...
