X-ray plateaus in gamma-ray bursts’ light curves from jets viewed slightly off-axis

ABSTRACT Using multiple observational arguments, recent work has shown that cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are typically viewed at angles within, or close to the cores of their relativistic jets. One of those arguments relied on the lack of tens-of-days-long periods of very shallow evolution t...
