Vacuum birefringence and the polarized X-ray emission from a radio magnetar
Rachael E. Stewart, Hoa Dinh Thi, George Younes +13
The paper presents phase- and energy-resolved X‑ray polarization measurements of the radio magnetar 1E 1547.0‑5408, finding high polarization degrees that support vacuum birefringe…
NICER Magnetar Burst Catalog
Che-Yen Chu, Chin-Ping Hu, Teruaki Enoto +13
In this paper, we present a comprehensive catalog of short bursts from magnetars based on eight years of NICER observations. A total of 1130 bursts were identified from 14 sources,…
New and updated timing models for seven young energetic X-ray pulsars, including the Big Glitcher PSR J0537-6910
Wynn C. G. Ho, Lucien Kuiper, Cristobal M. Espinoza +6
We present new timing models and update our previous ones for the rotational evolution of seven young energetic pulsars, including four of the top five in spin-down luminosity Edot…

Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Intertwined birth and death: a Herbig-Haro outflow resolves the distance to Vela Junior
Janette Suherli, Ivo R. Seitenzahl, Samar Safi-Harb +8
The distance to the Vela Junior supernova remnant (RX J0852.0-4622 or G266.2-1.2) has long remained uncertain, limiting our understanding of its physical properties. Using VLT/MUSE…
Rapid Spectral Evolution of SGR 1935+2154 During its 2022 Outburst
Chin-Ping Hu, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Wynn C. G. Ho +9
During the 2022 outburst of SGR 1935+2154, a Fast-Radio-Burst-like event (FRB 20221014A) and X-ray activities occurred between two spin-up glitches, suggesting these glitches may c…
