cds-question@unistra.frgamma-ray-astronomyphotometryFollow-up observations of large numbers of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, facilitated by the Swift satellite, have produced a large sample of spectral energy distributions and light curves, from which their basic micro- and macro-physical parameters can in principle be derived. However, a number of phenomena have been observed that defy explanation by simple versions of the standard fireball model, leading to a variety of new models. Polarimetry can be a major independent diagnostic of afterglow physics, probing the magnetic field properties and internal structure of the GRB jets. In this paper we present the first high-quality multi-night polarimetric light curve of a Swift GRB afterglow, aimed at providing a well-calibrated data set of a typical afterglow to serve as a benchmark system for modelling afterglow polarization behaviour.2012MNRAS.426....2Whttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/426/2CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/426/2GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapGamma-rayOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/426/2/table3Log of our photometryrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
