IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare

Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134

The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…

Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry

Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +97

Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randoml…

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…

X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…

Towards imaging-spectro-polarimetry of solar flares in the X-rays

Sergio Fabiani, John Rankin, Stefano Basso +19

X-ray polarimetry of solar flares is still a not well established field of observation of our star. Past polarimeters were not able to measure with a high significance the polariza…

Discovery of a shock-compressed magnetic field in the north-western rim of the young supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with X-ray polarimetry

Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Dmitry Prokhorov, Niccolò Bucciantini +99

Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide insights into cosmic-ray acceleration and magnetic field dynamics at shock fronts. Recent X-ray polarimetric measurements by the Imaging X-ray Pol…

IXPE observation of PKS 2155-304 reveals the most highly polarized blazar

Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +133

We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) blazar PKS 2155304 based on observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We…

Investigating the Properties of the Relativistic Jet and Hot Corona in AGN with X-ray Polarimetry

Dawoon E. Kim, Laura Di Gesu, Frédéric Marin +6

X-ray polarimetry has been suggested as a prominent tool for investigating the geometrical and physical properties of the emissions from active galactic nuclei (AGN). The successfu…
