The GRB Afterglows Flowchart

Abstract

In this paper, we present a flowchart of the Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows, aiming to create a numerical FORTRAN code. Considering several proposed models, the hydrodynamic evolution describing the external shock of the jet with the environment surrounding the GRB source or the Interstellar medium is discussed. A comparison of the results and data, considering the synchrotron emission as a basic mechanism for the radiation part, was also carried out.
