Inferring Jet Structure and Viewing Angles of Gamma-Ray Burst Jets from Early Rising Optical Afterglows by Sreelakshmi P. Chakyar, Lekshmi Resmi

“…As a pilot study, we selected eight well-observed bright optical afterglows and performed a Bayesian inference using two different jet models: a Gaussian-structured jet and a homogeneous top-hat jet. Assuming an adiabatic evolution of the fireball through a constant-density ambient medium, we derived the key afterglow parameters: viewing angle ( θ _v ), jet opening angle ( θ _j for top-hat jets) or characteristic angle ( θ _c for Gaussian jets), ambient medium number density n _0 , and ϵ _B measuring the downstream magnetic field strength. …”
