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…
Polarimetry and Photometry of Gamma-Ray Bursts Afterglows with RINGO3
M. Shrestha, I. A. Steele, S. Kobayashi +7
We present photometric and polarimetric measurements of gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows observed by the RINGO3 imaging polarimeter over its 7 year lifetime mounted o…
Modeling the Optical to Ultraviolet Polarimetric Variability from Thomson Scattering in Colliding Wind Binaries
Richard Ignace, Andrew Fullard, Manisha Shrestha +5
Massive star binaries are critical laboratories for measuring masses and stellar wind mass-loss rates. A major challenge is inferring viewing inclination and extracting information…
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…
