    How do the theories presented today compare to the measured data?

    Are there clear problems with any of the existing models given recent results?

    Are we able to exclude any models?

  15. 12. What do we need from future instruments?
    Nicolas Produit (Universite de Geneve (CH))
    28/11/2018, 13:15

    In light of the discussions from yesterday, what type of measurements are most important for the future? Energy dependence, time dependence? Do we prefer many "ok" measurements or do we prefer a few very detailed ones (quantity vs quality)?

    What are the lessons learned from previous missions which can benefit the future ones?

  22. 26. POLARIZATION ANALYSIS FOR REAL INSTRUMENTS
    Dr J. Michael Burgess (MPE)
    29/11/2018, 10:15

    The future of x-ray polarimetry looks bright. Unfortunately, the sources we look at are not. Low and high count measurements both require proper statistical treatment and the literature on polarization statistics is derived from regularity conditions designed for optical measurements. I will discuss these approaches and present a new approach appropriate for both idealized and real x-ray...

    We present the first joint fits of POLAR and GBM using proper likelihoods, a new forward-folding technique, and physical models. We will discuss the approach, the software (3ML) that enabled this analysis and the physical framework within which we interpret our results.

  28. 29. How do we make polarization analysis open?
    Merlin Reynaard Kole (Universite de Geneve (CH))
    29/11/2018, 16:15

    With the increase in available polarization data it becomes possible to make this data public and allow any interested party to perform analysis on it. This requires simple, transparent thoroughly tested public tools as well as data in easy to use formats.

    We aim to discus here what people from the theory and analysis community would like to do with public polarization data and how we can...
