Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations

Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96

Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…

Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization

Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48

The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…

High optical to X-ray polarization ratio reveals Compton scattering in BL Lacertae's jet

Ivan Agudo, Ioannis Liodakis, Jorge Otero-Santos +147

Blazars, supermassive black hole systems (SMBHs) with highly relativistic jets aligned with the line of sight, are the most powerful long-lived emitters of electromagnetic emission…

A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421

W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153

X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…

Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical

Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33

We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…

Optical and near-infrared polarization of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in quiescence

Vadim Kravtsov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +12

We present simultaneous high-precision optical polarimetric and near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) photometric observations of low-mass black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in the…
