Hydrodynamics and Radiation from a Relativistic Expanding Jet with Applications to GRB Afterglow
Abstract
We describe fully relativistic three dimensional calculations of the slowing down and spreading of a relativistic jet by an external medium like the ISM. We calculate the synchrotron spectra and light curves using the conditions determined by the hydrodynamic calculations. Preliminary results with a moderate resolution are presented here. Higher resolution calculations are in progress.
