Accretion geometry of the black-hole binary Cygnus X-1 from X-ray polarimetry
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13
Black-hole binary (BHB) systems comprise a stellar-mass black hole and a closely orbiting companion star. Matter is transferred from the companion to the black hole, forming an acc…
PoGO+ polarimetric constraint on the synchrotron jet emission of Cygnus X-1
Maxime Chauvin, Hans-Gustav Florén, Miranda Jackson +8
We report a polarimetric constraint on the hard X-ray synchrotron jet emission from the Cygnus X-1 black-hole binary system. The observational data were obtained using the PoGO+ ha…
CAMELOT: design and performance verification of the detector concept and localization capability
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, András Pál +16
A fleet of nanosatellites using precise timing synchronization provided by the Global Positioning System is a new concept for monitoring the gamma-ray sky that can achieve both all…
CAMELOT - Concept study and early results for onboard data processing and GPS-based timestamping
András Pál, László Mészáros, Norbert Tarcai +17
Due to recent advances in nanosatellite technology, it is now feasible to integrate scintillators with an effective area of hundreds of square-centimeters on a single three-unit cu…
CAMELOT: Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients - Mission Overview
Norbert Werner, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +17
We propose a fleet of nanosatellites to perform an all-sky monitoring and timing based localisation of gamma-ray transients. The fleet of at least nine 3U cubesats shall be equippe…
The PoGO+ view on Crab off-pulse hard X-ray polarisation
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +11
The linear polarisation fraction and angle of the hard X-ray emission from the Crab provide unique insight into high energy radiation mechanisms, complementing the usual imaging, t…
