Abstract:Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the collapse of some very massive stars, that emit ultra-relativistic jets. When the jets collide with the interstellar medium they decelerate and generate the so-called afterglow emission, which has been observed to be polarised. We study the polarimetric evolution of the GRB\,210610B afterglow, at $z=1.1341$. This allows us to evaluate the role of geometric and/or magnetic mechanisms in the GRB afterglow polarisation. We observed GRB\,210610B using imaging polarim… Show more
