Constraining the Gamma-Ray Burst Jet Opening Angle Based on the Very Steep Decay Phase

Constraining the Gamma-Ray Burst Jet Opening Angle Based on the Very Steep Decay Phase

Thanks to the rapid follow-up observations by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT), a good part of gamma-ray bursts' (GRBs) high-latitude emission have been observed in the X-ray band. Some even show a dropdown decay after this period, which strongly indicates the edge of the jet is corresponding to...
