Our study shows that: a) for these physical quantities the spherical fireball and the uniform jets do not present obvious differences, so we cannot use these to distinguish a spherical fireball from a uniform jet; b) for the spherical fireball and a uniform jet, the observed quantities mainly come from the 1/Г region, so we can simply use the 1/Г region in approximate calculations; c) broadening of emission lines is a general phenomena, which mainly comes from the curvature effect; d) the 1/Г region plays different roles in different frequency ranges, and the radiation from the 1/Г region is greater in the higher than in the lower frequencies.展开更多
