X-ray Polarimetry as a Tool to Constrain Orbital Parameters in X-Ray Binaries
John Rankin, Vadim Kravtsov, Fabio Muleri +10
X-ray binary systems consist of a companion star and a compact object in close orbit. Thanks to their copious X-ray emission, these objects have been studied in detail using X-ray…
X-Ray Polarized View on the Accretion Geometry in the X-Ray Binary Circinus X-1
John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco +101
Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric 16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state…
Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
Observations of Low and Intermediate Spectral Peak Blazars with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Herman L. Marshall, Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher +145
We present X-ray polarimetry observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of three low spectral peak and one intermediate spectral peak blazars, namely 3C 273, 3…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
Complex variations of X-ray polarization in the X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431
Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Jeremy Heyl +109
We report on Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE) observations of the Be-transient X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431 made at two luminosity levels during the giant outb…
Peering into the tilted heart of Cyg X-1 with high-precision optical polarimetry
Vadim Kravtsov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +7
We present the high-precision optical polarimetric observations of black hole X-ray binary Cyg X-1, spanning several cycles of its 5.6 day orbital period. Week-long observations on…
