Scientific paper

In this talk, I will discuss numerical simulations of relativistic jets inmassive stars in the context of the collapsar model for long soft gamma-raybursts. The propagation and breakout of such jets are examined inmulti-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamical simulations. Duringits propagation, the jet is collimated by the passage through the stellarmantle. As it erupts, the highlyrelativistic jet core is surrounded by a cocoon of less energetic, butstill moderately relativistic ejecta that expands and becomes visible atlarger polar angles. Implications for both the observations and the modelswhich generate the jets are discussed.
