Circular polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 121024A

Circular polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 121024A

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are most probably powered by collimated relativistic outflows (jets) from accreting black holes at cosmological distances. Bright afterglows are produced when the outflow collides with the ambient medium. Afterglow polarization directly probes the magnetic properties of the j...
