Design and preliminary performance study of the broad-band spectrometer detector for POLAR-2
Jian-Chao Sun, Jiang He, Shuang-Nan Zhang +46
POLAR-2, the successor of the POLAR experiment aboard China's Tiangong-2 space lab, is set to be deployed on the China Space Station. The POLAR-2 mission aims to conducting high-pr…
An Intertwined Short and Long GRB with 4-minute Separation
Liang Li, Yu Wang, Bing Zhang +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most energetic transients in the Universe, are traditionally classified into long-duration ( s) and short-duration ( s) events, ass…
Comprehensive Measurement of Spectral Evolution in a GRB Flare: High Time-Resolution Insights into the "Double-Tracking" Phenomenon
Zheng-Hang Yu, Wen-Jun Tan, Chen-Wei Wang +41
The spectral evolution characteristics of the prompt emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been extensively studied, but detailed investigations of spectral evolution in a GRB f…
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 polar…
POLAR-2 -- Latest Developments of the Next Generation GRB Polarimeter
Johannes Hulsman, Philipp Azzarello, Joerg Bayer +20
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic events in the Universe. Despite over 50 years of research and measurements their prompt emission remains poorly understood, wit…
Gamma-Ray Burst Polarimetry with the POLAR and POLAR-2 missions
Nicolas De Angelis, Philipp Azzarello, Franck Cadoux +15
Gamma-Ray Bursts are among the most powerful and violent events in the Universe. Despite over half a century of observations of these transient sources, many open questions remain…
