Description

The angular distribution of energy from gamma-ray bursts is unknown, but it is believed their could be a common structure among all these astrophysical events. I combine gravitational wave and electromagnetic data to perform model comparison between different existing jet structure models and infer model parameters. I also perform a non-parametric approach to determine the structure using Gaussian processes.
