The X-ray polarimetry view of the accreting pulsar Cen X-3

Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen +95

Cen X-3 is the first X-ray pulsar discovered 50 years ago. Radiation from such objects is expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with…

Detection of X-ray Polarization from the Blazar 1ES 1959+650 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Manel Errando, Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher +142

Observations of linear polarization in the 2-8 keV energy range with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) explore the magnetic field geometry and dynamics of the regions g…

Incremental Fermi Large Area Telescope Fourth Source Catalog

LAT collaboration, Soheila Abdollahi, Fabio Acero +137

We present an incremental version (4FGL-DR3, for Data Release 3) of the fourth Fermi-LAT catalog of gamma-ray sources. Based on the first twelve years of science data in the energy…

Astronomical x-ray polarimetry based on photoelectric effect with microgap detectors

Paolo Soffitta, Enrico Costa, Giuseppe di Persio +7

The polarisation of x-ray photons can be determined by measuring the direction of emission of a K-shell photoelectron. Effective exploitation of this effect below 10 keV would allo…

Observations of Low and Intermediate Spectral Peak Blazars with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Herman L. Marshall, Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher +145

We present X-ray polarimetry observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of three low spectral peak and one intermediate spectral peak blazars, namely 3C 273, 3…

Super-Eddington Accretion Geometry: a Remarkable Stability of the Hidden Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Cygnus X-3

Romana Mikušincová, Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri +112

We report on the average and orbital phase-resolved polarization of Cyg X-3 in the hard state during the 2023 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observational campaign. We f…
