Abstract
Many aspects of astrophysical jets can be studied by measuring the polarization of the prompt emission from GRBs. Theoretical models show that a more complete understanding of the inner structure of GRBs, including the geometry and physical processes close to the central engine, can only be achieved by gamma-ray polarimetry.
