A Neutron Capture Explanation for the 10 MeV Emission Line Seen in GRB 221009A

Jiahuan Zhu, Hua Feng, Tong Liu

The brightest ever gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A displays a significant emission line component around 10 MeV. As the GRB central engine is neutron-rich, we propose that the emissi…

X-ray Polarimetry of the accreting pulsar 1A~0535+262 in the supercritical state with PolarLight

Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +25

The X-ray pulsar 1A 0535+262 exhibited a giant outburst in 2020, offering us a unique opportunity for X-ray polarimetry of an accreting pulsar in the supercritical state. Measureme…

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…

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…
