A significant detection of X-ray Polarization in Sco X-1 with PolarLight and constraints on the corona geometry

Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23

We report the detection of X-ray polarization in the neutron star low mass X-ray binary Scorpius (Sco) X-1 with PolarLight. The result is energy dependent, with a non-detection in…

GRB 210121A: A Typical Fireball Burst Detected by Two Small Missions

Xiangyu Ivy Wang, Xutao Zheng, Shuo Xiao +48

The Chinese CubeSat Mission, Gamma Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID), recently detected its first gamma-ray burst, GRB 210121A, which was jointly observed by the Gravitational wave h…

X-ray polarimetry of the Crab nebula with PolarLight: polarization recovery after the glitch and a secular position angle variation

Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +24

We report follow-up observations of the Crab nebula with the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter, which revealed a possible variation in polarization associated with a pulsar glitch in 20…

Discrimination of background events in the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter

Jiahuan Zhu, Hong Li, Hua Feng +22

PolarLight is a space-borne X-ray polarimeter that measures the X-ray polarization via electron tracking in an ionization chamber. It is a collimated instrument and thus suffers fr…

Modeling the in-orbit background of PolarLight

Jiahui Huang, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23

PolarLight is a gas pixel X-ray polarimeter mounted on a CubeSat, which was launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit in October 2018. We build a mass model of the whole CubeSat with t…
