The role of the magnetic fields in GRB outflows
N. Jordana-Mitjans, C. G. Mundell, S. Kobayashi +12
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are bright extragalactic flashes of gamma-ray radiation and briefly the most energetic explosions in the Universe. Their catastrophic origin (the merger of…
A short gamma-ray burst from a proto-magnetar remnant
N. Jordana-Mitjans, C. G. Mundell, C. Guidorzi +10
The contemporaneous detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays from the GW170817/GRB 170817A, followed by kilonova emission a day after, confirmed compact binary neutron-star…
Optical Polarimetry of the May 2022 Lunar Eclipse
Iain A Steele, Klaas Wiersema, Callum McCall +2
The sunlight reflected from the Moon during a total lunar eclipse has been transmitted through the Earth's atmosphere on the way to the Moon. The combination of multiple scattering…
New mass estimates for massive binary systems: a probabilistic approach using polarimetric radiative transfer
Andrew G. Fullard, John T. O'Brien, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf +4
Understanding the evolution of massive binary stars requires accurate estimates of their masses. This understanding is critically important because massive star evolution can poten…
Coherence scale of magnetic fields generated in early-time forward shocks of GRBs
N. Jordana-Mitjans, C. G. Mundell, R. J. Smith +6
We report the earliest-ever detection of optical polarization from a GRB forward shock (GRB 141220A), measured s after the burst using the multi-colour RINGO3 optica…
Polarization simulations of stellar wind bow shock nebulae. II. The case of dust scattering
Manisha Shrestha, Hilding R. Neilson, Jennifer L. Hoffman +2
We study the polarization produced by scattering from dust in a bow shock-shaped region of enhanced density surrounding a stellar source, using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer c…
