5. Motivation Theoretical models predict various emission components  Mixing of different components cannot make sense for statistics. Extract various Emission Components from the data by empirical fit  for statistics, probing the properties of CE, GRB fireball, further theoretically modeling,…. How about the relations between X-ray and optical emission?

20. For a BH-torus system: The injection wind may be driven by neutrino annihilation or the Blandford-Znajek mechanism: The injection wind may be driven by neutrino annihilation or the Blandford-Znajek mechanism: (Kumar et al. 2008) (Kumar et al. 2008) For a spinning down magnetar  q would be 0 or 2 Can the shallow decay segment be a probe for the nature of GRB central engine?

34. Summary Long-lasting internal plateau, flare, and re-brightening are revealed from current sample. The detection rate of optical flares are much lower than X-ray flares. The global evolution of the prompt gamma-ray, early X- ray flares, and late optical flares may signal global evolution of the GRB central engine activity. The Temporal Evolution of Lp is consistent with the evolution of the accretion rate predicted by some models. The Detection rate of the shallow decay segment is comparable to X-rays. They may be a probe for the nature of GRB central engine. A tight correlation between the initial Lorentz factor and E iso is discovered. Smooth re-brightening is different from the flares. They may be from a distinct jet component. We infer the burst environment with the afterglow onset and late rebrightening and found that the density profile n~ r -0.8.
