Time-integrated Polarizations of the GRB X-Ray Flares

Despite decades of studies, the energy dissipation mechanism of the X-ray flares in the afterglow phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still debated. If the jet is dominated by the Poynting flux, there would be a large-scale ordered magnetic field in it, and the X-ray flares might be powered by the m...
