Gamma-ray burst afterglow scaling relations for the full blast wave evolution
H. J. van Eerten, A. I. MacFadyen
We demonstrate that gamma-ray burst afterglow spectra and light curves can be calculated for arbitrary explosion and radiation parameters by scaling the peak flux and the critical…
Gamma-ray burst afterglow broadband fitting based directly on hydrodynamics simulations
H. J. van Eerten, A. J. van der Horst, A. I. MacFadyen
We present a powerful new tool for fitting broadband gamma-ray burst afterglow data, which can be used to determine the burst explosion parameters and the synchrotron radiation par…
Observational implications of gamma-ray burst afterglow jet simulations and numerical light curve calculations
Hendrik J. van Eerten, Andrew I. MacFadyen
We discuss jet dynamics for narrow and wide gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow jets and the observational implications of numerical simulations of relativistic jets in two dimensions.…
An on-line library of afterglow light curves
H. J. van Eerten, A. I. MacFadyen, W. Zhang
Numerical studies of gamma-ray burst afterglow jets reveal significant qualitative differences with simplified analytical models. We present an on-line library of synthetic aftergl…
Off-Axis Afterglow Light Curves from High-Resolution Hydrodynamical Jet Simulations
H. J. van Eerten, A. I. MacFadyen, W. Zhang
Numerical jet simulations serve a valuable role in calculating gamma-ray burst afterglow emission beyond analytical approximations. Here we present the results of high resolution 2…
Synthetic off-axis light curves for low energy gamma-ray bursts
H. J. van Eerten, A. I. MacFadyen
We present results for a large number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow light curve calculations, done by combining high resolution two-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics simu…
