Abstract

We present, for the first time, three dimensional (3D) adaptive mesh refinementsimulations of a GRB jet crossing a pre-SN progenitor (with resolutions comparable to theresolutions of 2D simulations) (Lopez-Camara et al. 2012). Themorphology, Lorentz factor, and symmetries, will be discussed in this presentation.Basically the evolution is divided into three main phases: the jet moving inside theprogenitor; the jet just about break out of the progenitor; and the phase where the jethas broken out of the star and is now moving through the circumstellar medium. Theresolution and 3D effects are also discussed. Still, as with all numerical work, thecurrent investigation lacks in several aspects and needs improvement as well as furtherinvestigations.
