The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Brian Ramsey, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Wayne Baumgartner +27
Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window…
Equalizing the Pixel Response of the Imaging Photoelectric Polarimeter On-Board the IXPE Mission
John Rankin, Fabio Muleri, Alessandro Di Marco +18
The Gas Pixel Detector is a gas detector, sensitive to the polarization of X-rays, currently flying on-board IXPE - the first observatory dedicated to X-ray polarimetry. It detects…
Polarisation Leakage due to Errors in Track Reconstruction in Gas Pixel Detectors
N. Bucciantini, N. Di Lalla, R. W. R. Romani +5
X-ray polarimetry, based on Gas Pixel Detectors (GPDs), have reached a high level of maturity with the Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE) leading to the first ever spatially…
Handling Background in IXPE polarimetric data
Alessandro Di Marco, Paolo Soffitta, Enrico Costa +18
IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) is a Small Explorer mission by NASA and ASI, launched on December 9 2021, dedicated to investigating X-ray polarimetry allowing ang…
Calibration of the IXPE focal plane X-ray polarimeters to polarized radiation
Alessandro Di Marco, Sergio Fabiani, Fabio La Monaca +80
IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) is a NASA Small Explorer mission -- in partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) -- dedicated to X-ray polarimetry in the 2--8 keV e…
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…
