Notes. The KS test is performed to compare the distribution of the parameters computed from the light curve measured by Swift/XRT between the overall sample, the ones observed by H.E.S.S and those detected at VHE. Significant deviations (p < 0.01) are seen for fluence during observations and for flux at various epochs in VHE-detected GRBs, suggesting these brightness parameters differ from the overall population, while spectral indices remain statistically consistent.
