We need the emission model to explain both cases of change and no-change of polarization angle.

Summary ■ We detected the -ray polarization from 3 bright GRBs, and set U.L. for 4 GRBs with GRB polarimeter “GAP”. ■ The emission mechanism of prompt GRBs are probably the synchrotron radiation in the coherent magnetic fields. (Our results favor theICMART model (Zhang’s group). We cannot exclude the photospheric and comptonized emission model) ■ Since the polarization angle rapidly changed, the multiple emission regions and/or the patchy structures with the scale of < 1/ Γ may exist in the relativistic jet. Next gamma-ray polarimeter aboard “TSUBAME” small satellite by the Tokyo-Tech team will be launched next year.
