Caption: Figure 3.
Predicted radio (1.3 GHz) afterglow light curves for the maximum (40 jets; red solid line) and minimum (four jets; red dashed line) cases. The gray solid lines show the emission from individual jets in the maximum case, while the black dashed lines represent the emission from individual jets in the minimum case. At T ∼ 108 s, the maximum case is approximately an order of magnitude brighter than the minimum case.
