A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421
W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…
Insights from the first flaring activity of a high-synchrotron-peaked blazar with X-ray polarization and VHE gamma rays
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +250
We study a flaring activity of the HSP Mrk421 that was characterized from radio to very-high-energy (VHE; E TeV) gamma rays with MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, Swift, XMM-Newton and sever…
Magnetic field geometry of the gamma-ray binary PSR B1259-63 revealed via X-ray polarization
Philip Kaaret, Oliver J. Roberts, Steven R. Ehlert +6
Some X-ray binaries containing an energetic pulsar in orbit around a normal star accelerate particles to high energies in the shock cone formed where the pulsar and stellar winds c…
The IXPE View of Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
Francesco Ursini, Andrea Gnarini, Fiamma Capitanio +9
Low-mass X-ray binaries hosting weakly magnetized neutron stars (NS-LMXBs) are among the brightest sources in the X-ray sky. Since 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXP…
A Comparison of the X-ray Polarimetric Properties of Stellar and Supermassive Black Holes
M. Lynne Saade, Philip Kaaret, Ioannis Liodakis +1
X-ray polarization provides a new way to probe accretion geometry in black hole systems. If the accretion geometry of black holes is similar regardless of mass, we should expect th…
Constraining the geometry of the dipping atoll 4U 1624-49 with X-ray spectroscopy and polarimetry
Andrea Gnarini, M. Lynne Saade, Francesco Ursini +6
We present the spectro-polarimetric results obtained from simultaneous X-ray observations with IXPE, NuSTAR and NICER of the dipping neutron star X-ray binary 4U 1624-49. This sour…
X-Ray Polarimetry of the Dipping Accreting Neutron Star 4U 1624-49
M. Lynne Saade, Philip Kaaret, Andrea Gnarini +98
We present the first X-ray polarimetric study of the dipping accreting neutron star 4U 162449 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We report a detection of polari…
