| contents | The structure and dynamics of GRB jets Jonathan Granot Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas relativity hydrodynamics Gamma rays: bursts ISM: jets and outflows There are several lines of evidence which suggest that the relativistic outflows in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) arecollimated into narrow jets. The jet structure has important implications for the true energy release and theevent rate of GRBs, and can constrain the mechanism responsible for the acceleration and collimation of thejet. Nevertheless, the jet structure and its dynamics as it sweeps up the external medium and decelerates, arenot well understood. In this review I discuss our current understanding of GRB jets, stressing their structureand dynamics. 2007 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57102715 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.27 |
