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…
Measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +365
We present the first measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers produced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. We find that the measured fluctuation…
POLAR-2: a large scale gamma-ray polarimeter for GRBs
J. Hulsman, N. de Angelis, J. M. Burgess +14
The prompt emission of GRBs has been investigated for more than 50 years but remains poorly understood. Commonly, spectral and temporal profiles of γ-ray emission are analysed. How…
The FRAM robotic telescope for atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +377
FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using stell…
