- Hendrik Van Eerten role in the project has been to perform the afterglow modelling of the off-axis jet. He has collaborated directly with Piro in writing these sections. The modelling was done using both HvE’s relativistic hydrodynamics simulation-based fit software and an extension of semi-analytical models previously published by him. The latter models were used to also incorporate the possibility of an initial angular energy profile to the outflow (which turned out to be key to interpreting later follow-up observations). The key figures of the paper, showing successful model fits to the detection, were made by HvE.
