Caption: Figure 7.
Illustration of a collimated GRB outflow with an opening angle, θj is shown. In the case of a top-hat jet model, both the jet energy, E, and Lorentz factor, Γ, are angle independent (i.e., constant, shown in brown long dashed line) within the θj. On the other hand, in case of a structured jet model, the E or Γ remains a constant within the jet core, θc and beyond that possess a certain profile until θj (shown by the blue short dashed line). θv is the viewing angle as measured from the jet axis.
