X-ray Polarimetry as a Tool to Constrain Orbital Parameters in X-Ray Binaries
John Rankin, Vadim Kravtsov, Fabio Muleri +10
X-ray binary systems consist of a companion star and a compact object in close orbit. Thanks to their copious X-ray emission, these objects have been studied in detail using X-ray…
Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
IXPE observation confirms a high spin in the accreting black hole 4U 1957+115
L. Marra, M. Brigitte, N. Rodriguez Cavero +113
We present the results of the first X-ray polarimetric observation of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1957+115, performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer in May 2023. The…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
First X-ray polarization measurement confirms the low black-hole spin in LMC X-3
Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner +109
X-ray polarization is a powerful tool to investigate the geometry of accreting material around black holes, allowing independent measurements of the black hole spin and orientation…
