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…
Optical polarization from colliding stellar stream shocks in a tidal disruption event
I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen, D. Blinov +9
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a supermassive black hole rips apart a passing star. Part of the stellar material falls toward the black hole, forming an accretion disk…
GRB 210619B optical afterglow polarization
N. Mandarakas, D. Blinov, D. R. Aguilera-Dena +7
We report on the follow-up of the extremely bright long gamma-ray burst GRB~210619B with optical polarimetry. We conducted optopolarimetric observations of the optical afterglow of…
Starlight-polarization-based tomography of the magnetized interstellar medium: PASIPHAE's line-of-sight inversion method
V. Pelgrims, G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis +20
We present the first Bayesian method for tomographic decomposition of the plane-of-sky orientation of the magnetic field with the use of stellar polarimetry and distance. This stan…
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…
