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…
XPOL-III: a New-Generation VLSI CMOS ASIC for High-Throughput X-ray Polarimetry
M. Minuti, L. Baldini, R. Bellazzini +11
While the successful launch and operation in space of the Gas Pixel Detectors onboard the PolarLight cubesat and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer demonstrate the viability an…
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…
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…
The imaging properties of the Gas Pixel Detector as a focal plane polarimeter
S. Fabiani, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +19
X-rays are particularly suited to probe the physics of extreme objects. However, despite the enormous improvements of X-ray Astronomy in imaging, spectroscopy and timing, polarimet…
Fermi LAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar
A. A. Abdo
The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent source in the GeV sky and thus is the traditional first target for new gamma-ray observatories. We report here on initial Fermi Large Ar…
