We have simulated the dynamics of GRB jets in the afterglow phase in
two dimensions using RAM , a well tested adaptive mesh refinement
(AMR) relativistic hydrodynamics code
( Zhang &
MacFadyen, ApJS, 164, 255 (2006)). Initial conditions are the
Blandford-McKee solution in constant density and wind media. Our
fiducial model "C0" has E_iso of 10^53 ergs and initial opening angle
of 0.2 radians in a constant density medium of 1 proton per cubic
centimeter. Using standard synchrotron radiation models, we calculate
multi-band light curves (radio to X-ray). The reference for these
simulations
is Zhang
& MacFadyen, ApJ, 698, 1261 (2009). We have
made animations
from the simulations. Light curve data (HDF5 and ASCII formats) are available below:
