Issue Date: | 2018 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY. LETTERS | Number: | 478 | Issue: | 1 | First Page: | L18 | Abstract: | We present our broad-band study of GW170817 from radio to hard X-rays, including NuSTAR and Chandra observations up to 165 d after the merger, and a multimessenger analysis including LIGO constraints. The data are compared with predictions from a wide range of models, providing the first detailed comparison between non-trivial cocoon and jet models. Homogeneous and power-law shaped jets, as well as simple cocoon models are ruled out by the data, while both a Gaussian shaped jet and a cocoon with energy injection can describe the current data set for a reasonable range of physical parameters, consistent with the typical values derived from short GRB afterglows. We propose that these models can be unambiguously discriminated by future observations measuring the post-peak behaviour, with F<SUB>ν</SUB> ∝ t<SUP>∼-1.0</SUP> for the cocoon and F<SUB>ν</SUB>∝ t<SUP>∼-2.5</SUP> for the jet model. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30946 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1801.06516v2 https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/478/1/L18/4969981 |
