Abstract: We show the peak magnitude for orphan afterglows from the jets of gravitational wave (GW) detected black-hole/neutron star - neutron star (BH/NS-NS) mergers highly depends on the jet half-opening angle $\theta_j$. Short $\gamma$-ray bursts (GRB)… read more here.

Abstract: GW 170817/GRB 170817A has offered unprecedented insight into binary neutron star post-merger systems. Prompt and afterglow emission light curves imply the presence of a tightly collimated relativistic jet with a smooth transverse structure. However, it… read more here.
