Explaining the light curves of gamma-ray bursts with a precessing jet.

PORTEGIES ZWART S.F., LEE C.-H. and LEE H.K.

Abstract (from CDS):

A phenomenological model is presented to explain the light curves of gamma-ray bursts. Gamma-rays are produced in a narrow beam which sweeps through space due to the precession of a slaved accretion disc. The light curve expected from such a precessing luminosity cone can explain the complex temporal behavior of bright gamma-ray bursts.
