Polarization in GRB Afterglows

Gunnlaugur Björnsson

Published 2003-02-10Version 1

Polarization has been observed in a number of GRB afterglows. We briefly review the models that have been proposed to account for the observed polarization levels. We summarize the observations and the attempts to explain them with existing models.
