White Paper for Blazar Observations with a GEMS-like X-ray Polarimetry Mission
Henric Krawczynski, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27
In this document, we describe the scientific potential of blazar observations with a X-ray polarimetry mission like GEMS (Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX). We describe five blaz…
White Paper on GEMS Study of Polarized X-rays from Neutron Stars
Pranab Ghosh, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27
We examine the expected X-ray polarization properties of neutron-star X-ray sources of various types, e.g., accretion and rotation powered pulsars, magnetars, and low-mass X-ray bi…
X-ray Polarization from Black Holes: GEMS Scientific White Paper
Jeremy Schnittman, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27
We present here a summary of the scientific goals behind the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX (GEMS) X-ray polarimetry mission's black hole (BH) observing program. The primary ta…
The Photoionized Accretion Disk in Her X-1
L. Ji, N. Schulz, M. Nowak +2
We present an analysis of several high-resolution Chandra grating observations of the X-ray binary pulsar Her X-1. With a total exposure of 170 ks, the observations are separated b…
Structure and Evolution of Pre-Main Sequence Stars
Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz +28
Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that thi…
Distribution and Structure of Matter in and around Galaxies
Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz +24
Understanding the origins and distribution of matter in the Universe is one of the most important quests in physics and astronomy. Themes range from astro-particle physics to chemi…
