Prospects for multiwavelength polarization observations of GRB afterglows and the case GRB 030329
Prospects for multiwavelength polarization observations of GRB afterglows and the case GRB 030329
We explore the prospects for simultaneous, broad-band, multiwavelength polarimetric observations of GRB afterglows. We focus on the role of cosmic dust in GRB host galaxies on the observed percentage polarization of afterglows in the optical/near-infrared bands as a function of redshift. Our driving point is the afterglow of GRB 030329, …
