Description
GRB 020321 is a faint GRB that received wide follow-up attention in
X-rays (BeppoSAX/NFI, Chandra/ACIS-S, XMM-Newton), radio (ATCA) and
optical (ESO, HST). We identify a weak X-ray afterglow by a combined
study of the Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. Its decay index of 1.2
is typical for GRB afterglows. Inside the 4 arcsec accurate error box
there is a weak optical counterpart candidate with a much shallower
decay index.
