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…
Observation of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab by the PoGOLite Pathfinder
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +19
We have measured the linear polarisation of hard X-ray emission from the Crab in a previously unexplored energy interval, 20-120 keV. The introduction of two new observational para…
The design and flight performance of the PoGOLite Pathfinder balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +15
In the 50 years since the advent of X-ray astronomy there have been many scientific advances due to the development of new experimental techniques for detecting and characterising…
Preflight performance studies of the PoGOLite hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, M. Jackson, T. Kawano +6
Polarimetric studies of astrophysical sources can make important contributions to resolve the geometry of the emitting region and determine the photon emission mechanism. PoGOLite…
