Figure 1. Cartoon of the large-scale structure of a GRB source (not to scale). The major elements are a central engine which launches a polar magnetically dominated ultrarelativistic jet, and a gaseous stellar envelope (grey shading) which confines the jet. The central engine may be an accreting rapidly rotating BH or a millisecond magnetar. For a failed supernova, there could also be a disc wind which may additionally confine the jet. within the pre-supernova core (Aloy et al. 2000; Zhang et al. 2003; Morsony, Lazzati & Begelman 2007; Wang, Abel & Zhang 2007). These simulations show that the jet collimates and accelerates as it pushes its way through the confining stellar envelope, thus sug- gesting that the envelope plays a crucial role in determining the opening angle and Lorentz factor of the flow that emerges from the Figure 2. Idealized model studied in this paper. The thick solid lines in the upper panel show an azimuthal cut through a compact star surrounded by a razor-thin disc. The star and the disc are threaded by magnetic field lines, which are shown as thin solid lines. The magnetized plasma above the star and the disc is assumed to be perfectly conducting and to have an ultrahigh magnetization parameter. Arrows show the direction of the poloidal electric current. The thick-dashed line indicates the field line that separates the jet from the disc wind. The disc wind provides pressure support for the jet and plays the role of the gaseous stellar envelope in Fig. 1. The degree of pressure support is adjusted by varying the magnetic field strength profile in the disc. The lower panel shows the angular frequency of rotation of field lines as a function of the cylindrical radius of their foot- points. Ultrarelativistic magnetodynamic GRB jets 553 Figure 1.

If the collapsar system forms an accreting BH, then the ultrarelativistic jet may be accompanied by a moderately relativistic disc wind that may provide additional collimation for the jet (McKinney 2005b,2006b).

Cartoon of the large-scale structure of a GRB source (not to scale). The major elements are a central engine which launches a polar magnetically dominated ultrarelativistic jet, and a gaseous stellar envelope (grey shading) which confines the jet. The central engine may be an accreting rapidly rotating BH or a millisecond magnetar. For a failed supernova, there could also be a disc wind which may additionally confine the jet. within the pre-supernova core (Aloy et al. 2000; Zhang et al. 2003; Morsony, Lazzati & Begelman 2007; Wang, Abel & Zhang 2007). These simulations show that the jet collimates and accelerates as it pushes its way through the confining stellar envelope, thus sug- gesting that the envelope plays a crucial role in determining the opening angle and Lorentz factor of the flow that emerges from the star. If the collapsar system forms an accreting BH, then the ultrarelativistic jet may be accompanied by a moderately relativistic disc wind that may provide additional collimation for the jet (McKinney 2005b,2006b). We note that the larger the radius of the progenitor star and/or the denser the stellar envelope, the more energy is re- quired for the jet to have to penetrate the stellar envelope and reach Figure 2. Idealized model studied in this paper. The thick solid lines in the upper panel show an azimuthal cut through a compact star surrounded by a razor-thin disc. The star and the disc are threaded by magnetic field lines, which are shown as thin solid lines. The magnetized plasma above the star and the disc is assumed to be perfectly conducting and to have an ultrahigh magnetization parameter. Arrows show the direction of the poloidal electric current. The thick-dashed line indicates the field line that separates the jet from the disc wind. The disc wind provides pressure support for the jet and plays the role of the gaseous stellar envelope in Fig. 1. The degree of pressure support is adjusted by varying the magnetic field strength profile in the disc. The lower panel shows the angular frequency of rotation of field lines as a function of the cylindrical radius of their foot- points. parameter σ (Michel 1969; Goldreich & Julian 1970), we assume σ → ∞. In this idealized model, the force-free disc wind plays the role of the stellar envelope (plus any gaseous disc wind) that collimates the jet in a real GRB (Fig. 1). In the context of the collapsar picture, the ‘wind’ region of our idealized model can be considered as a freely moving pressure collapsar jet punctures stellar envelope → GRB along jet axis (beaming) GRB followed by isotropic explosion: superluminous supernovae (type Ic SNe) Lorentz factor MacFadyen 2001; Woosley & Bloom 2006 γ ≫ 1 Eiso jet ∼ 1050 − 1054 erg Relativistic jet w/: central engine operation ~ tfreefall jet breakout ~ seconds Bromberg+2015 ∴ duration > few seconds

The disc wind provides pressure support for the jet and plays the role of the gaseous stellar envelope in Fig. 1.

If the collapsar system forms an accreting BH, then the ultrarelativistic jet may be accompanied by a moderately relativistic disc wind that may provide additional collimation for the jet (McKinney 2005b,2006b). We note that the larger the radius of the progenitor star and/or the denser the stellar envelope, the more energy is re- quired for the jet to have to penetrate the stellar envelope and reach Figure 2.

The major elements are a central engine which launches a polar magnetically dominated ultrarelativistic jet, and a gaseous stellar envelope (grey shading) which confines the jet. The central engine may be an accreting rapidly rotating BH or a millisecond magnetar. For a failed supernova, there could also be a disc wind which may additionally confine the jet. within the pre-supernova core (Aloy et al. 2000; Zhang et al. 2003; Morsony, Lazzati & Begelman 2007; Wang, Abel & Zhang 2007). These simulations show that the jet collimates and accelerates as it pushes its way through the confining stellar envelope, thus sug- gesting that the envelope plays a crucial role in determining the opening angle and Lorentz factor of the flow that emerges from the star. If the collapsar system forms an accreting BH, then the ultrarelativistic jet may be accompanied by a moderately relativistic disc wind that may provide additional collimation for the jet (McKinney 2005b,2006b). We note that the larger the radius of the progenitor star and/or the denser the stellar envelope, the more energy is re- quired for the jet to have to penetrate the stellar envelope and reach Figure 2. Idealized model studied in this paper. The thick solid lines in the upper panel show an azimuthal cut through a compact star surrounded by a razor-thin disc. The star and the disc are threaded by magnetic field lines, which are shown as thin solid lines. The magnetized plasma above the star and the disc is assumed to be perfectly conducting and to have an ultrahigh magnetization parameter. Arrows show the direction of the poloidal electric current. The thick-dashed line indicates the field line that separates the jet from the disc wind. The disc wind provides pressure support for the jet and plays the role of the gaseous stellar envelope in Fig. 1. The degree of pressure support is adjusted by varying the magnetic field strength profile in the disc. The lower panel shows the angular frequency of rotation of field lines as a function of the cylindrical radius of their foot- points. parameter σ (Michel 1969; Goldreich & Julian 1970), we assume σ → ∞. In this idealized model, the force-free disc wind plays the role of the stellar envelope (plus any gaseous disc wind) that collimates the jet in a real GRB (Fig. 1). In the context of the collapsar picture, the ‘wind’ region of our idealized model can be considered as a freely moving pressure Long GRB Tchekhovskoy+08 AGN Similar ingredients for jet launching and collimation in GRBs and AGNs: expect scaling of jet properties? accretion flow (torus) collapsar ˙ M . ˙ MEdd ˙ M ˙ MEdd Semenov+04 Talks by Ioka, Kawanaka, ... ˙ M ˙ MEdd Short GRB

The picture since Swift Fig. 3. An overview of the various issues raised by GRB afterglow observations from 2004+, in particular those by Swift XRT. Since the launch of Swift, a complex picture of X-ray and optical afterglows has emerged. To some extent, this picture can be described in terms of a canonical long GRB afterglow light curve189–191 (see also Fig. 3, expanded from an illustration in Ref. 192), although analysis of the Swift XRT sample shows that ‘canonical’ should be taken with a grain of salt193, 194 and that the measured temporal slopes of the light curves span a wide range. After an initial ﬂaring behaviour presumably connected to the prompt emission, the light curve drops steeply until it reaches a plateau value. The light curve then maintains this value for longer than was Eerten 2018
