Refined Constraints on the Hard X-ray Polarization of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula Derived from an Extended XL-Calibur Dataset
Matthew G. Baring, Jacob Casey, Sohee Chun +26
We present updated hard X-ray polarization measurements of the Crab pulsar and nebula obtained with the balloon-borne polarimeter XL-Calibur in the ~19-64 keV energy range. During…
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…
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…
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…
Energy-dependent polarization of Gamma-Ray Bursts' prompt emission with the POLAR and POLAR-2 instruments
Nicolas De Angelis, J. Michael Burgess, Franck Cadoux +10
Gamma-Ray Bursts are among the most powerful events in the Universe. Despite half a century of observations of these transient sources, many open questions remain about their natur…
Adding Gamma-ray Polarimetry to the Multi-Messenger Era
Merlin Kole, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Mancarella +1
The last decade has seen the emergence of two new fields within astrophysics: gamma ray polarimetry and GW astronomy. The former, which aims to measure the polarization of gamma ra…
Gamma-Ray Polarimetry of the Crab Pulsar Observed by POLAR
Han-Cheng Li, Nicolas Produit, Shuang-Nan Zhang +15
The X/ ray polarimetry of the Crab pulsar/nebula is believed to hold crucial information on their emission models. In the past, several missions have shown evidence of polarized…
GRB Polarization: A Unique Probe of GRB Physics
Ramandeep Gill, Merlin Kole, Jonathan Granot
Over half a century from the discovery of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the dominant radiation mechanism responsible for their bright and highly variable prompt emission remains poorly…
Polarization measurements of the Crab Pulsar with POLAR
Hancheng Li, POLAR Collaboration
POLAR is a dedicated Gamma-Ray Burst polarimeter making use of Compton-scattering which took data from the second Chinese spacelab, the Tiangong-2 from September 2016 to April 2017…
Gamma-Ray Polarization Results of the POLAR Mission and Future Prospects
M. Kole, N. de Angelis, J. M. Burgess +14
Despite over 50 years of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) observations many open questions remain about their nature and the environments in which the emission takes place. Polarization measu…
The POLAR Gamma-Ray Burst Polarization Catalog
Merlin Kole, Nicolas De Angelis, Francesco Berlato +18
Despite over 50 years of research, many open questions remain about the origin and nature of GRBs. Polarization measurements of the prompt emission of these extreme phenomena have…
Detailed polarization measurements of the prompt emission of five Gamma-Ray Bursts
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Merlin Kole, Tian-Wei Bao +37
Gamma-ray bursts are the strongest explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang, believed to be produced either in forming black holes at the end of massive star evolution or merg…
Time-Resolved GRB Polarization with POLAR and GBM
J. Michael Burgess, M. Kole, F. Berlato +5
Simultaneous -ray measurements of gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra and polarization offer a unique way to determine the underlying emission mechanism(s) in these objects as well as…
