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…
Development and science perspectives of the POLAR-2 instrument: a large scale GRB polarimeter
N. De Angelis, J. M. Burgess, F. Cadoux +14
Despite several decades of multi-wavelength and multi-messenger spectral observations, Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) remain one of the big mysteries of modern astrophysics. Polarization…
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…
Re-evaluation of Lunar X-ray observations by Apollo 15 & 16
Anniek J. Gloudemans, Erik Kuulkers, Riccardo Campana +3
The Apollo 15 & 16 missions were the first to explore the Lunar surface chemistry by investigating about 10% of the Lunar surface using a remote sensing X-ray fluorescence spectrom…
