Schematic representation of the binary system merger. A coordinate system (x,y,z) is shown, where the line of sight coincides with the z-axis. The primed coordinate system is achieved through a rotation by angle ψ in the x-y plane and with an angle ι around the x-axis. Through this the jet with angular momentum vector L, is aligned with the z’-axis. The jet plane, from which the gamma rays are emitted, is indicated in purple while the half jet opening angle θc is shown as well. In the current figure the gamma-ray emission would not be observed, as the jet plane points away from the observer.
