Magnetic structures and turbulence in SN 1006 revealed with imaging X-ray polarimetry

Ping Zhou, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +99

Young supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly modify surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). X-ray polarization measurements…

The 2023 release of Cloudy

Marios Chatzikos, Stefano Bianchi, Francesco Camilloni +8

We describe the 2023 release of the spectral synthesis code Cloudy. Since the previous major release, migrations of our online services motivated us to adopt git as our version con…

A re-emerging bright soft-X-ray state of the changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654: a multi-wavelength view

Ritesh Ghosh, Sibasish Laha, Eileen Meyer +24

1ES1927+654 is a nearby active galactic nucleus that has shown an enigmatic outburst in optical/UV followed by X-rays, exhibiting strange variability patterns at timescales of mont…

IXPE and XMM-Newton observations of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1806-20

Roberto Turolla, Roberto Taverna, Gian Luca Israel +96

Recent observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of two anomalous X-ray pulsars provided evidence that X-ray emission from magnetar sources is strongly polari…

IXPE and multi-wavelength observations of blazar PG 1553+113 reveal an orphan optical polarization swing

Riccardo Middei, Matteo Perri, Simonetta Puccetti +119

The lower energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets. Despite the consen…

Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701462

Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani +105

After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of i…
