Synchrotron polarization of anisotropic electron distribution in GRB prompt emission

Kang-Fa Cheng, Kai-Xian Luo, Xiao-Hong Zhao +7

In gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the electron pitch angle () is usually assumed to be isotropically distributed. However, recent numerical simulations indicate that only the high-ene…

Synchrotron Circular Polarization in Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Optical Emission: Relativistic Thermal Electron Contribution

Kangfa Cheng, Jirong Mao, Xiaohong Zhao +4

Synchrotron circular polarization of a non-thermal power-law electron distribution in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been studied. However, some numerical simulations have shown that…

Synchrotron polarization of a hybrid distribution of relativistic thermal and nonthermal electrons in GRB prompt emission

Kangfa Cheng, Jirong Mao, Xiaohong Zhao +4

Synchrotron polarization of relativistic nonthermal electrons in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been widely studied. However, recent numerical simulations of relativistic shocks and m…

Polarization degree of magnetic field structure changes caused by random magnetic field in Gamma-ray Burst

Jiang-Chuan Tuo, Hong-Bang Liu, Qian-Nan Mai +4

In a Poynting-flux-dominated (PFD) jet that exhibits an ordered magnetic field, a transition towards turbulence and magnetic disorder follows after magnetic reconnection and energy…

The polarization-angle flip in GRB prompt emission

Kangfa Cheng, Xiaohong Zhao, Jirong Mao +1

Aims. We aim to provide an explanation for the PA rotation in GRBs and find the physical conditions that lead to the rotation by 90 degrees in the toroidal magnetic-field (MF) mode…
