The NASA/GSFC network is currently experiencing intermittent issues that affect our services. We are working on it and apologize for the inconvenience.
The offline tool hark (also on github) can be used to find and download data from the cloud.

grbjet: Two-phase Comptonization model of soft thermal seed photons for GRB prompt emission

This model computes the time-averaged flux over the signal duration determined by the radiation curvature effect for a single pulse emitted by a relativistic top-hat jet (Farinelli et al., 2021).

The parameters are :

par1 thobs, observer viewing angle (degrees)
par2 thjet, jet half opening angle (degrees)
par3 gamma, jet gamma Lorentz factor
par4 r12, jet radius ($10^{12}$ cm)
par5 p1, low-energy index of the comoving frame broken powerlaw spectrum
par6 p2, high-energy index of the comoving frame broken powerlaw spectrum
par7 E0, break energy (keV)
par8 delta, parameter dictating the smoothness of the transition between the two powerlaws
par9 index_pl, energy index of the comoving-frame cutoff powerlaw spectrum
par10 ecut, cut-off energy (keV)
par11 ktbb, comoving frame blackbody temperature (keV)
par12 model, flag to choose the comoving frame emissivity law. Allowed values are 1 (broken powerlaw), 2 (cutoff powerlaw) or 3 (blackbody)
par13 redshift, source redshift
norm comoving frame emissivity normalization in units of $10^{20}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ keV$^{-1}$ ster$^{-1}$
