The Lorentz Factor and Viewing Angle of GRB 170817A
-
Abstract
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A, accompanied by the gravitational wave event GW170817, provides the first direct evidence for a link between a neutron star binary merger and a short duration GRB. GRB 170817A has an extremely weak luminosity, suggesting the jet may be off-axis to the line of sight. The relations between the peak energy E_p,i
