X-ray Polarization Reveals the Precessions of the Neutron Star in Hercules X-1
Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko, Denis González-Caniulef +100
In an accreting X-ray pulsar, a neutron star accretes matter from a stellar companion through an accretion disk. The high magnetic field of the rotating neutron star disrupts the i…
The detection of polarized x-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 2259+586
Jeremy Heyl, Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla +98
We report on IXPE, NICER and XMM-Newton observations of the magnetar 1E 2259+586. We find that the source is significantly polarized at about or above 20% for all phases except for…
Optimal Summary Statistics for X-ray Polarization
Jeremy Heyl, Denis González-Caniulef, Ilaria Caiazzo
We develop two new highly efficient estimators to measure the polarization (Stokes parameters) in experiments that constrain the position angle of individual photons such as scatte…
Constraining the magnetic field geometry of the millisecond pulsar PSR~J0030+0451 from joint radio, thermal X-ray and -ray emission
J. Pétri, S. Guillot, L. Guillemot +13
With the advent of multi-wavelength electromagnetic observations of neutron stars, spanning many decades in photon energies, from radio wavelengths up to X-rays and -rays, it be…
Complex variations of X-ray polarization in the X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431
Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Jeremy Heyl +109
We report on Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE) observations of the Be-transient X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431 made at two luminosity levels during the giant outb…
X-ray polarimetry of the accreting pulsar GX 301-2
Valery F. Suleimanov, Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov +102
The phase- and energy-resolved polarization measurements of accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) allow us to test different theoretical models of their emission, and they also provide an…
X-ray polarimetry of X-ray pulsar X Persei: another orthogonal rotator?
A. A. Mushtukov, S. S. Tsygankov, J. Poutanen +103
X Persei is a persistent low-luminosity X-ray pulsar of period of 835 s in a Be binary system. The field strength at the neutron star surface is not known precisely, but indi…
A strong X-ray polarization signal from the magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910
Silvia Zane, Roberto Taverna, Denis Gonzalez Caniulef +99
Magnetars are the most strongly magnetized neutron stars, and one of the most promising targets for X-ray polarimetric measurements. We present here the first Imaging X-ray Polarim…
