Roughly the power-law shape (without a significant plateau) for the X-ray afterglow light curves of the GRBs with reported polarization detections. This fits well with the prediction of the hot fireball model. The slight deviation from the power law (breaks) can arise from the moderate viewing angle θv ∼ 1.5/Γ for the polarization sample (see Rossi et al. 2002). The early flares in GRB 140206A are inherited from prompt emission, considering a very close match for the light curves of Swift/BAT and Swift/XRT, during this period.
