Description

The magnetization of gamma-ray burst jets is one of the most important unanswered questions to-date, as it would help to constrain the progenitor, the emission mechanism(s) and the central engine of GRBs. In my talk, I explain how observables can set constraints on models of magnetized jets in the framework of photospheric emission.
