Pulsar-wind-nebula-powered Galactic center X-ray filament G0.13-0.11: Proof of the synchrotron nature by IXPE

Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin, Thibault Barnouin +103

We report the discovery of X-ray polarization from the X-ray-bright filament. G0.13-0.11 in the Galactic center (GC) region. This filament features a bright, hard X-ray source that…

Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701462

Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani +105

After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of i…

A polarimetrically oriented X-ray stare at the accreting pulsar EXO 2030+375

Christian Malacaria, Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko +104

Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) are presumably ideal targets for polarization measurements, as their high magnetic field strength is expected to polarize the emission up to a polari…

X-ray pulsar GRO J100857 as an orthogonal rotator

Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Alexander A. Mushtukov +99

X-ray polarimetry is a unique way to probe the geometrical configuration of highly magnetized accreting neutron stars (X-ray pulsars). GRO J100857 is the first transient X-ray p…
