Characteristic radii of a dirty fireball as a function of the dimensionless entropy η. Shown are the Planck radius RP (red solid), the Wien radius RW (orange dot–dashed), the Thomson photospheric radius Rph (purple dashed), and the dissipation radius ﹩{R}_{{\rm{dis}}}\sim 2{{\rm{\Gamma }}}_{{\rm{W}}}^{2}c\delta t﹩ for δt = 0.1 s (gray solid) and 1 s (gray dotted). The fiducial parameters are f± = 1, ϵP = 1, ϵW = 0.5, ﹩{{\rm{\Gamma }}}_{{\rm{P}}}={\rm{\max }}(\eta /2,1)﹩, and ΓW = η. The calculation adopts ηγ = 0.03, a fixed X-ray luminosity Lγ,iso = 1050 erg s−1, and a total jet luminosity L = Lγ,iso/ηγ.
