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…
WALOP-South: A Four-Camera One-Shot Imaging Polarimeter for PASIPHAE Survey. Paper II -- Polarimetric Modelling and Calibration
Siddharth Maharana, Ramya M. Anche, A. N. Ramaprakash +22
The Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP)-South instrument is an upcoming wide-field and high-accuracy optical polarimeter to be used as a survey instrument for carrying out…
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…
Energy balance and Alfvén Mach numbers in compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with a large-scale magnetic field
James R. Beattie, Mark R. Krumholz, Raphael Skalidis +5
Energy equipartition is a powerful theoretical tool for understanding astrophysical plasmas. It is invoked, for example, to measure magnetic fields in the interstellar medium (ISM)…
