In-Orbit Instrument Performance Study and Calibration for POLAR Polarization Measurements
Zhengheng Li, Merlin Kole, Jianchao Sun +30
POLAR is a compact space-borne detector designed to perform reliable measurements of the polarization for transient sources like Gamma-Ray Bursts in the energy range 50-500keV. The…
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…
POLAR: Final Calibration and In-Flight Performance of a Dedicated GRB Polarimeter
M. Kole, T. W. Bao, T. Batsch +41
Gamma-ray polarimetry is a new powerful tool to study the processes responsible for the emission from astrophysical sources and the environments in which this emission takes place.…
Calibration of Gamma-ray Burst Polarimeter POLAR
H. L. Xiao, W. Hajdas, T. W. Bao +33
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the universe which might be associated with creation of black holes. Magnetic field structure and burst dynamics may influen…
