摘要
We have used a simple method to estimate the prompt emission radii of 27 Swift and 37 pre-Swift long gamma-ray bursts with known redshift and jet break time. The prompt gamma-rays are found to emit mainly from a beamed jet with dynamic open angle narrower than its geometric open angle, suggesting an obviously dynamic evolution from prompt to follow-up phases for the jetted outflow. Under condition of the external shock scenario, we confirm that long gamma-ray bursts are produced at a larger radius of similar to 10(16) cm, which puts a strict constraint on the currently theoretical models.
