First spectropolarimetric observation of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 3+1

Andrea Gnarini, Ruben Farinelli, Francesco Ursini +11

We report the first simultaneous X-ray spectropolarimetric observation of the bright atoll neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 3+1, performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Exp…

The IXPE View of Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binaries

Francesco Ursini, Andrea Gnarini, Fiamma Capitanio +9

Low-mass X-ray binaries hosting weakly magnetized neutron stars (NS-LMXBs) are among the brightest sources in the X-ray sky. Since 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXP…

Discovery of a strong rotation of the X-ray polarization angle in the galactic burster GX 13+1

Anna Bobrikova, Sofia V. Forsblom, Alessandro Di Marco +106

Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show complex phenomenology with several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, boundary and/or spread…
