X-ray Polarization of the Eastern Lobe of SS 433

Philip Kaaret, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Stefano Silvestri +103

How astrophysical systems translate the kinetic energy of bulk motion into the acceleration of particles to very high energies is a pressing question. SS 433 is a microquasar that…

Observations of 4U 1626-67 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Herman L. Marshall, Mason Ng, Daniele Rogantini +91

We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the 2-8 keV band from the pulsar in the ultracompact low mass X-ray binary 4U1626-67 using data from the Imaging X-ray Pola…

The X-ray Polarization View of Mrk~421 in an Average Flux State as Observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Laura Di Gesu, Immacolata Donnarumma, Fabrizio Tavecchio +100

Particle acceleration mechanisms in supermassive black hole jets, such as shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, are expected to have observable signatures in t…

A weighted analysis to improve the X-ray polarization sensitivity of IXPE

Alessandro Di Marco, Enrico Costa, Fabio Muleri +29

IXPE is a Small Explorer mission that was launched at the end of 2021 to measure the polarization of X-ray emission from tens of astronomical sources. Its focal plane detectors are…

The Instrument of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Ronaldo Bellazzini +78

While X-ray Spectroscopy, Timing and Imaging have improved verymuch since 1962, when the first astronomical non-solar source was discovered, especially with the launch of Newton/X-…
