Rotation of polarization angle in gamma-ray burst prompt phase
arXiv:2306.16634 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/acba0c
Abstract
The rotations of the polarization angle (PA) with time (energy) can lead to the depolarization of the time-integrated (energy-integrated) polarization. However, we don't know how and when it will rotate. Here, we consider the magnetic reconnection model to investigate the polarizations, especially the PA rotations of GRB prompt emission. For the large-scale ordered aligned magnetic field configuration, we find that PAs will evolve with time (energy) for off-axis observations. Our studies show that the rotations of the PAs are due to the changes of the ``observed shape'' of the emitting region (before averaged). We apply our models to the single pulse burst of GRB 170101A and GRB 170114A with time-resolved PA observations. We find it can interpret the violent PA variation of GRB 170101A. The model could not predict the twice PA changes in GRB 170114A. Detailed model should be considered.
