Graph Neural Networks Trained on Null Signal for Angle Reconstruction in X-ray Polarimetry
Vittorio Latorre, Victor Rodriguez-Fernandez, Alessandro Di Marco +3
Scientific real detectors often produce sparse, irregular data defined on non-Euclidean domains, where conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) impose geometric biases tha…
Mitigating Polarization Leakage in Gas Pixel Detectors through Hybrid Machine Learning and Analytic Event Reconstruction
Nicoló Cibrario, Michela Negro, Raffaella Bonino +18
Spatially resolved polarization measurements of extended X-ray sources are expanding our understanding of the emission mechanisms and magnetic field properties involved. Such measu…
The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Brian Ramsey, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Wayne Baumgartner +27
Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window…
The future of X-ray polarimetry towards the 3-Dimensional photoelectron track reconstruction
Dawoon E. Kim, Alessandro Di Marco, Paolo Soffitta +8
The development of the first X-ray polarimeter, based on the photoelectric effect 20 years ago and implemented thanks to advances in gas amplification structures and readout techni…
Polarization properties of X-ray tubes used for Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer calibration
Ajay Ratheesh, John Rankin, Enrico Costa +11
In this work, we measured the polarization properties of the X-rays emitted from the X-ray tubes, which were used during the calibration of the instrument onboard Imaging X-ray Pol…
Equalizing the Pixel Response of the Imaging Photoelectric Polarimeter On-Board the IXPE Mission
John Rankin, Fabio Muleri, Alessandro Di Marco +18
The Gas Pixel Detector is a gas detector, sensitive to the polarization of X-rays, currently flying on-board IXPE - the first observatory dedicated to X-ray polarimetry. It detects…
Handling Background in IXPE polarimetric data
Alessandro Di Marco, Paolo Soffitta, Enrico Costa +18
IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) is a Small Explorer mission by NASA and ASI, launched on December 9 2021, dedicated to investigating X-ray polarimetry allowing ang…
Calibration of the IXPE focal plane X-ray polarimeters to polarized radiation
Alessandro Di Marco, Sergio Fabiani, Fabio La Monaca +80
IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) is a NASA Small Explorer mission -- in partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) -- dedicated to X-ray polarimetry in the 2--8 keV e…
The Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE): Pre-Launch
Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini +155
Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission w…
An algorithm to calibrate and correct the response to unpolarized radiation of the X-ray polarimeter on board IXPE
John Rankin, Fabio Muleri, Allyn F. Tennant +18
The Gas Pixel Detector is an X-ray polarimeter to fly on-board IXPE and other missions. To correctly measure the source polarization, the response of IXPE's GPDs to unpolarized rad…
The Instrument of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Ronaldo Bellazzini +78
While X-ray Spectroscopy, Timing and Imaging have improved verymuch since 1962, when the first astronomical non-solar source was discovered, especially with the launch of Newton/X-…
