IXPE detection of highly polarized X-rays from the magnetar 1E 1841-045
Michela Rigoselli, Roberto Taverna, Sandro Mereghetti +12
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed for the first time highly polarized X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 1841-045, targeted after a burst-active phase in Augu…
IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…
Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry
Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +97
Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randoml…
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…
X-ray polarisation signatures in bombarded magnetar atmospheres
Ruth M. E. Kelly, Denis González-Caniulef, Silvia Zane +2
Magnetars are neutron stars that host huge, complex magnetic fields which require supporting currents to flow along the closed field lines. This makes magnetar atmospheres differen…
Analysis of Crab X-ray Polarization using Deeper IXPE Observations
Josephine Wong, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Niccoló Bucciantini +98
We present Crab X-ray polarization measurements using IXPE data with a total exposure of 300ks, three times more than the initial 2022 discovery paper. Polarization is detected in…
