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…
Polarized x-rays from a magnetar
Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla, Fabio Muleri +93
We report on the first detection of linearly polarized x-ray emission from an ultra-magnetized neutron star with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The IXPE 35 observat…
Unbinned Likelihood Analysis for X-ray Polarization
Denis González-Caniulef, Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl
We present a systematic study of the unbinned, photon-by-photon likelihood technique which can be used as an alternative method to analyse phase-dependent, X-ray spectro-polarimetr…
X-ray Polarization at the Crossroads
Jeremy Heyl, Ilaria Caiazzo, Denis González-Caniulef
We argue that measurements of X-ray polarization using the recently launched Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer will answer many open questions about magnetars in particular the ph…
