Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Shallow GRB Jets: Implications for Energetic GRBs

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by ultrarelativistic jets. The launching sites of these jets are surrounded by dense media, which the jets must cross before they can accelerate and release high-energy emission. Interaction with the medium leads to the formation of a mildly relativistic sheath ar...
