Density Profiles of Collapsed Rotating Massive Stars Favor Long Gamma-Ray Bursts

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs) originate in relativistic collimated outflows—jets—that drill their way out of collapsing massive stars. Accurately modeling this process requires realistic stellar profiles for the jets to propagate through and break out of. Most previous studies have used sim...
