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…
Comprehensive Study of the Lunar Energetic Particle Environment with LunPAN
Johannes Hulsman, Elisa Alessi, Leonardo Andreasi +14
LunPAN (Lunar Particle Analyzer Network) is a three-year mission proposal designed to comprehensively map the particle spectra in the lunar radiation field. It aims to provide prec…
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…
Design and Performance of a Universal SiPM Readout System for X- and Gamma-Ray Missions
Merlin Kole, Nicolas De Angelis, Nicolas Produit +15
The advent of both multi-messenger and time-domain astrophysics over the last decade has seen a large interest in the development of small-scale, cheap, and robust gamma-ray detect…
