Abstract

We have performed 2D relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of jets from a collapsar. The light curves and spectrum of the photospheric thermal radiation from ultrarelativistic gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets are calculated by the post process. At the head the jet has a dissipated region in which internal shocks can be seen and a freely expanding region follows. The freely expanding region shows a bullet like shape. The light curves continue about 100 s which corresponds to the jet injection duration. The light curves for θv ≤ 2° show quick rise and time variability for the first phase and low and steady luminosity phase follows. The light curves for θv ≥ 3° show slow rise and low luminosity. The spectrum below the peak energy is a power law and the index is 1 ~ 2.6 which is softer than that of single temperature plank distribution Some of them are close to the observed one, i.e., Band function.
