Shear Particle Acceleration in Structured Gamma-Ray Burst Jets. II. Viewing Angle Effect on the Prompt Emission and Application to GRB 170817A

Multimessenger observations suggest that the gamma-ray burst on 2017 August 17 (GRB 170817A) resulted from off-axial observations of its structured jet, which consists of a narrow ultrarelativistic jet core surrounded by a wide mild-relativistic cocoon. In a serious paper, we explore the emission of...
