Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
The Polarized Cosmic Hand: IXPE Observations of PSR B1509-58/MSH 15-52
Roger W. Romani, Josephine Wong, Niccolo Di Lalla +99
We describe IXPE polarization observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) MSH15-52, the `Cosmic Hand'. We find X-ray polarization across the PWN, with B field vectors generally al…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
Magnetic structures and turbulence in SN 1006 revealed with imaging X-ray polarimetry
Ping Zhou, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +99
Young supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly modify surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). X-ray polarization measurements…
The IXPE view of GRB 221009A
Michela Negro, Niccoló Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei +108
We present the IXPE observation of GRB 221009A which includes upper limits on the linear polarization degree of both prompt and afterglow emission in the soft X-ray energy band. GR…
X-ray polarimetry reveals the magnetic field topology on sub-parsec scales in Tycho's supernova remnant
Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Patrick Slane, Dmitry Prokhorov +97
Supernova remnants are commonly considered to produce most of the Galactic cosmic rays via diffusive shock acceleration. However, many questions about the physical conditions at sh…
