Pulsar-wind-nebula-powered Galactic center X-ray filament G0.13-0.11: Proof of the synchrotron nature by IXPE
Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin, Thibault Barnouin +103
We report the discovery of X-ray polarization from the X-ray-bright filament. G0.13-0.11 in the Galactic center (GC) region. This filament features a bright, hard X-ray source that…
An X-rays-to-radio investigation of the nuclear polarization from the radio-galaxy Centaurus A
Frédéric Marin, Thibault Barnouin, Steven R. Ehlert +5
Centaurus A is one of the closest radio-galaxies to Earth. Its proximity allowed us to extensively study its active galactic nucleus but the core emission mechanism remains elusive…
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…
The X-ray polarisation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy IC 4329A
A. Ingram, M. Ewing, A. Marinucci +105
We present an X-ray spectro-polarimetric analysis of the bright Seyfert galaxy IC 4329A. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed the source for ~500 ks, supported by…
X-ray polarization evidence for a 200 years-old flare of Sgr A
Frédéric Marin, Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin +101
The center of the Milky Way Galaxy hosts a 4 million solar mass black hole (Sgr A) that is currently very quiescent with a luminosity many orders of magnitude below those…
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,…
