Anisotropic low-energy electron pitch angles reduce synchrotron polarization degrees in gamma-ray and X-ray bands of GRB prompt emission compared to isotropic cases, with optical band behavior depending on the slope m, offering a possible match to some observations.
Discovery of Spearman correlation 0.8 between energy-dependent time lag and polarization degree in Swift J1727.8-1613, with theoretical arguments for additional mechanisms beyond inverse Comptonization.
First results from the SPOTS campaign reveal low average optical polarization (≲10%) and low magnetic field ordering (F_B ≲0.10) across 14 TeV blazars, with stochastic or rotating polarization angles and wavelength-dependent behavior indicating complex, turbulent jet structures.
