Polarization Measurement of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Fermi-GBM: The Case of GRB 180720B
Abstract To achieve confident nonzero polarization measurements for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) we need sensitive polarimeters and bright GRBs. Here we report on the polarimetric analysis of the bright GRB 180720B using the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). We rely on the detectio...
