Discovery of X-ray polarization angle rotation in active galaxy Mrk 421
Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert +140
The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can trac…
The geometry of the hot corona in MCG-05-23-16 constrained by X-ray polarimetry
D. Tagliacozzo, A. Marinucci, F. Ursini +105
We report on the second observation of the radio-quiet active galactic nucleus (AGN) MCG-05-23-16 performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The observation star…
Polarimetry of the potential binary supermassive black hole system in J1430+2303
F. Marin, D. Hutsemékers, I. Liodakis +6
The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) through merging has long been predicted but its detection remains elusive. However, a promising target has been discovered in the Sey…
Uncovering the geometry of the hot X-ray corona in the Seyfert galaxy NGC4151 with IXPE
V. E. Gianolli, D. E. Kim, S. Bianchi +106
We present an X-ray spectro-polarimetric analysis of the bright Seyfert galaxy NGC4151. The source has been observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) for 700 ks,…
Polarization constraints on the X-ray corona in Seyfert Galaxies: MCG-05-23-16
A. Marinucci, F. Muleri, M. Dovčiak +97
We report on the first observation of a radio-quiet Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) using polarized X-rays: the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-05-23-16. This source was pointed with the Imag…
Limits on X-ray Polarization at the Core of Centaurus A as Observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Steven R. Ehlert, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Andrea Marinucci +95
We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the band from the nucleus of the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), using a 100ks observation…
