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…
In-flight energy calibration of the space-borne Compton polarimeter POLAR
Hualin Xiao, Wojtek Hajdas, Bobing Wu +39
POLAR is a compact wide-field space-borne detector for precise measurements of the linear polarisation of hard X-rays emitted by transient sources in the energy range from 50 keV t…
Design and construction of the POLAR detector
N. Produit, T. W. Bao, T. Batsch +35
The POLAR detector is a space based Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) polarimeter with a wide field of view, which covers almost half the sky. The instrument uses Compton scattering of gamma r…
Instrument Performance and Simulation Verification of the POLAR Detector
M. Kole, Z. H. Li, N. Produit +32
POLAR is a new satellite-born detector aiming to measure the polarization of an unprecedented number of Gamma-Ray Bursts in the 50-500 keV energy range. The instrument, launched on…
Gain factor and parameter settings optimization of the new gamma-ray burst polarimeter POLAR
X. F. Zhang, W. Hajdas, H. L. Xiao +38
As a space-borne detector POLAR is designed to conduct hard X-ray polarization measurements of gamma-ray bursts on the statistically significant sample of events and with an unprec…
The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) Facility onboard China's Future Space Station
S. N. Zhang, the HERD collaboration
The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is one of several space astronomy payloads of the cosmic lighthouse program onboard China's Space Station, which is plann…
