Observed light curves of GRB 130603B. Black, blue, and red denote the X-ray (1 keV), optical (r-band), and infrared (H-band), respectively. The data and the lines of the afterglow model are taken from Fong et al. (2014; some of them originate from Berger et al. 2013; Cucchiara et al. 2013; Tanvir et al. 2013; de Ugarte Postigo et al. 2014). We use the optical and infrared fluxes corrected by the extinction of the host galaxy in Fong et al. (2014). The green dotted–dashed line shows Lt−2, on which the X-rays give the same contribution to the macronova emission. After the jet break time ﹩t\gtrsim 4\times {10}^{4}\;{\rm{s}}﹩, the X-ray and infrared fluxes are in comparable excesses of the extrapolated power laws based on the optical emission.
