Talk Title |
Hydrodynamics of GRB Outflows |
|
Abstract |
I will present high-resolution two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of relativistic outflows from gamma-ray bursts. The high-accuracy RAM (Relativistic Adaptive Mesh) code with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is used to accurately resolve fine structures and lateral spreading dynamics in gamma-ray burst outflows. I will present the first multi-band synchrotron light curves computed from high resolution 2D (axisymmetric) simulations. I will also discuss prolonged engine activity from the central engine relevant for late flares. |
