X-ray Polarization Observations of BL Lacertae
Riccardo Middei, Ioannis Liodakis, Matteo Perri +143
Blazars are a class of jet-dominated active galactic nuclei with a typical double-humped spectral energy distribution. It is of common consensus the Synchrotron emission to be resp…
Polarized Blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks
Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher, Iván Agudo +125
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to $\sim 1…
Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1
Henric Krawczynski, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovčiak +111
A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a po…
Optical polarization signatures of black hole X-ray binaries
Vadim Kravtsov, Andrei V. Berdyugin, Ilia A. Kosenkov +7
Polarimetry provides an avenue for probing the geometry and physical mechanisms producing optical radiation in many astrophysical objects, including stellar binary systems. We pres…
Polarimetry of M-type asteroids in the context of their surface composition
I. Belskaya, A. Berdyugin, Yu. Krugly +9
Aims. We aim to investigate how polarimetric observations can improve our understanding of the nature and diversity of M/X-type asteroids. Methods. Polarimetric observations of the…
