Strong and Stable Polarized Light in a Gamma-Ray Burst's Jet with a Large-Scale Magnetic Field (IMAGE)
Caption
Theoretical models link the presence of strong and stable polarized light in a gamma-ray burst's jet with a large-scale magnetic field (a blue spiral, in this illustration) originating from the newly-formed black hole.
