Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) aboard AstroSat has been regularly detecting Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) since its launch in 2015. Its sensitivity to polarization measurements at energies above 100 keV allows CZTI to attempt…

The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) onboard AstroSat consists of an array of a large number of pixellated CZT detectors capable of measuring the polarization of incident hard X-rays. The polarization measurement capability of CZTI for…

X-ray and Gamma-ray polarization measurements of the prompt emission of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be extremely important for testing various models of GRBs. So far, the available measurements of hard X-ray polarization of GRB…

The radiation mechanism underlying the prompt emission remains unresolved and can be resolved using a systematic and uniform time-resolved spectro-polarimetric study. In this paper, we investigated the spectral, temporal, and polarimetric…

The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) aboard AstroSat has good sensitivity to Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), with close to 600 detections including about 50 discoveries undetected by other missions. However, CZTI was not designed to be a GRB…

Measuring the polarization of the prompt gamma-ray emission from GRBs can significantly improve our understanding of both the GRB emission mechanisms, as well as the underlying engine driving the explosion. We searched for polarization in…

GRB 160821A is the third most energetic gamma ray burst observed by the {\it Fermi} gamma-ray space telescope. Based on the observations made by Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) on board {\it AstroSat}, here we report the most…

The proposed Daksha mission comprises of a pair of highly sensitive space telescopes for detecting and characterising high-energy transients such as electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).…

We report polarization measurements in two prompt emissions of gamma-ray bursts, GRB 110301A and GRB 110721A, observed with the Gamma-ray burst polarimeter (GAP) aboard IKAROS solar sail mission. We detected linear polarization signals from…

The AstroSat satellite is designed to make multi-waveband observations of astronomical sources and the Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) instrument of AstroSat covers the hard X-ray band. CZTI has a large area position sensitive hard…

We recently reported the first detection of an astrophysical gamma-ray polarization from GRB021206 using the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft. Our analysis suggested gamma-ray polarization at an…

The nature of the prompt gamma-ray emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is still far from being completely elucidated. The measure of linear polarization is a powerful tool that can be used to put further constraints on the content and…

Polarization measurements provide direct insight into the nature of astrophysical processes. Unfortunately, only a few instruments are available for this kind of measurements at gamma-ray energies, and the sources need to be very bright.…

The past year has witnessed a large increase in our knowledge of the polarization properties of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) radiation. In the prompt phase, the measurement (albeit highly debated) of a large degree of linear polarization in GRB…

Polarization measurements for the optical counterpart to GRB 020405 are presented and discussed. Our observations were performed with the VLT-UT3 (Melipal) during the second and third night after the gamma-ray burst discovery. The…

AstroSat is a multi-wavelength satellite launched on 2015 September 28. The CZT Imager of AstroSat on its very first day of operation detected a long duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) namely GRB 151006A. Using the off-axis imaging and spectral…

We present spectro-polarimetric analysis of \thisgrb\ using data from \asat, \fermi, and \swift, to provide insights into the physical mechanisms of the prompt radiation and the jet geometry. Prompt emission from \thisgrb\ was very bright…

(abridged) A previous analysis of the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager observation of GRB 021206 found that the gamma-ray flux was 80+/-20 polarized. We re-examine this data and find no signal that can be interpreted as…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extremely bright phenomena powered by relativistic jets arising from explosive events at cosmological distances. The nature of the jet and the configuration of the local magnetic fields are still unclear, with…

The spectrometer aboard INTEGRAL, SPI, has the capability to detect the signature of polarised emission from a bright gamma-ray source. GRB 041219a is the most intense burst localised by INTEGRAL and is an ideal candidate for such a study.…
