abstract
We argue that the broad-band observations of the brightest-of-all-time (BOAT) GRB 221009A reveal a physical picture involving two jet components: a narrow ($\sim 0.6$ degree half opening angle) pencil-beam jet that has a Poynting-flux-dominated jet composition, and a broader matter-dominated jet with an angular structure. We discuss various observational evidence that supports such a picture. To treat the problem, we develop an analytical structured jet model for both forward and reverse shock emission from the matter dominated structured jet wing during the deceleration phase. We discuss the physical implications of such a two-component jet configuration for this particular burst and for GRBs in general. We argue that some bright X-ray flares could be similar narrow jets viewed slightly outside the narrow jet cone and that narrow jets may exist in many more GRBs without being detected.

One year of broadband radio monitoring of the enigmatic transient GRB 250702B reveals the evolution of the relativistic jet
A year of 0.65-233 GHz monitoring shows GRB 250702B's radio afterglow is a synchrotron forward shock in a stratified medium, with a jet that is either narrow and fast or wide and slow.
