The Nonthermal Emission Following GW170817 is Consistent with a Conical Radially Stratified Outflow with Initial Lorentz Factor ≲10

We show that the nonthermal radio to X-ray emission following the neutron star merger GW170817 is consistent with synchrotron emission from a collisionless shock driven into the interstellar medium (ISM) by a conical radially stratified outflow observed ≈0.25 rad off-axis, with a power-law mass depe...
