The results of an equipartition analysis using the peak flux densities, peak times and observing frequencies from fitting power laws to the early-time radio afterglows. Measuring the location of the peak allows us to constrain the emitting region size (top panel), bulk Lorentz factor (middle panel) and minimum total energy (bottom panel). These results are derived on the basis of calculations described in Equipartition analysis.
