Detection of Polarization in the Afterglow of GRB 990510 with the ESO Very Large Telescope
Ralph A. M. J. Wijers,P. M. Vreeswijk,Titus Galama,E. Rol,J. van Paradijs,J. van Paradijs,Chryssa Kouveliotou,Chryssa Kouveliotou,T. Giblin,N. Masetti,Eliana Palazzi,Elena Pian,Filippo Frontera,Luciano Nicastro,Renato Falomo,P. Soffitta,L. Piro +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of significant linear polarization in the afterglow of GRB 990510 and concluded that the polarization is intrinsic to the source and due to the synchrotron nature of the emission, and discuss the random and ordered field geometries that may be responsible for it.

The discovery of polarization in the afterglow of GRB 990510 with the ESO Very Large Telescope
Ralph A. M. J. Wijers,P. M. Vreeswijk,Titus Galama,E. Rol,J. van Paradijs,Chryssa Kouveliotou,T. Giblin,N. Masetti,E. Palazzi,Elena Pian,F. Frontera,Luciano Nicastro,Renato Falomo,P. Soffitta,L. Piro +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of significant linear polarization in the afterglow: it is (1.6 +/- 0.2)% 0.86 days after trigger, and after 1.81 days is consistent with that same value, but much more uncertain.

On the Consistency of Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Indices with the Synchrotron Shock Model
Robert D. Preece,Michael S. Briggs,T. Giblin,Robert S. Mallozzi,Geoffrey N. Pendleton,W. S. Paciesas,David L. Band +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the inferred relationship between the two spectral indices of observed gamma-ray burst spectra is inconsistent with the constraints from the simple optically thin synchrotron shock emission model.
