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…
