Generation of Large-scale Magnetic Fields Upstream of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Shocks

The origins of the magnetic fields that power gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow emission are not fully understood. One possible channel for generating these fields involves the pre-conditioning of the circumburst medium: in the early afterglow phase, prompt photons streaming ahead of the GRB external...
