Polarization Evolution of Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Emission with Bulk Acceleration

During the prompt phase, Poynting-flux-dominated jets undergo acceleration accompanied by magnetic dissipation. By using an outward-propagating thin-shell model, where bulk Lorentz factors Γ increase with radius and the magnetic field strength decay is related to the acceleration and the energy conv...
