title = "GRB prompt emission polarization measurements using integral/IBIS",
abstract = "We present the polarization measurements of the prompt emission of GRB 041219A obtained with IBIS on board INTEGRAL. For this very long and bright Gamma-Ray Burst we detected a time variable highly polarized signal in the 200-800 keV energy range. Our results favor GRB models where the prompt emission at these energies is produced by synchrotron radiation from a relativistic outflow with a magnetic field, which is coherent on an angular size comparable with the angular size of the emitting region (∼1/Γ).We also present results and the upper limits we obtained for fainter GRBs detected with INTEGRAL.",
