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-en…

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…
