Prospects of Prompt Gamma-Ray Burst Polarimetry with POLAR-2

Ramandeep Gill, Jiang He, Jonathan Granot +6

The dominant radiation mechanism that powers the prompt -ray emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remains poorly understood. High quality, time- and energy-resolved linear polari…

Detailed polarization measurements of the prompt emission of five Gamma-Ray Bursts

Shuang-Nan Zhang, Merlin Kole, Tian-Wei Bao +37

Gamma-ray bursts are the strongest explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang, believed to be produced either in forming black holes at the end of massive star evolution or merg…
