Gamma-Ray Bursts and Afterglow Polarisation
arXiv:astro-ph/0412129 · doi:10.1063/1.2130227
Abstract
Polarimetry of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows in the last few years has been considered one of the most effective tool to probe the geometry, energetic, dynamics and the environment of GRBs. We report some of the most recent results and discuss their implications and future perspectives.
