X-ray eclipse tomography: Resolving the extent of X-ray-emitting region(s) in the Seyfert galaxy ESO362-G18
Laura Rueda-Nieto, Beatriz Agís-González, Giovanni Miniutti
X-ray spectral variability in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be either intrinsic or caused by external processes, such as variable absorption. Several transient occultation even…
Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
IXPE Observations of the Blazar Mrk 501 in 2022: A Multiwavelength View
L. Lisalda, E. Gau, H. Krawczynski +157
The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In thi…
Determining the origin of the X-ray emission in blazars through multiwavelength polarization
Ioannis Liodakis, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula +48
The origin of the high-energy emission in astrophysical jets from black holes is a highly debated issue. This is particularly true for jets from supermassive black holes that are a…
IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…
A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421
W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…
IXPE observation of PKS 2155-304 reveals the most highly polarized blazar
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +133
We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) blazar PKS 2155304 based on observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We…
Insights into the broad-band emission of the TeV blazar Mrk 501 during the first X-ray polarization measurements
S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +260
We present the first multi-wavelength study of Mrk 501 including very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations simultaneous to X-ray polarization measurements from the Imaging X-ra…
First characterization of the emission behavior of Mrk421 from radio to VHE gamma rays with simultaneous X-ray polarization measurements
S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +250
We perform the first broadband study of Mrk421 from radio to TeV gamma rays with simultaneous measurements of the X-ray polarization from IXPE. The data were collected within an ex…
The ionised X-ray outflowing torus in ESO 323-G77: low-ionisation clumps confined by homogeneous warm absorbers
Mario Sanfrutos, Giovanni Miniutti, Yair Krongold +2
We report on the long- and short-term X-ray spectral analysis of the polar-scattered Seyfert 1.2 galaxy ESO 323-G77, observed in three epochs between 2006 and 2013 with Chandra and…
Eclipsing the innermost X-ray emitting regions in AGN
Mario Sanfrutos, Giovanni Miniutti, Michal Dovčiak +1
Variable X-ray absorption has been observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) on several time scales. Observations allow us to identify the absorber with clouds associated either wit…
Black hole spin and size of the X-ray emitting region(s) in the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy ESO 362-G18
Beatriz Agís-González, Giovanni Miniutti, Erin Kara +7
We report results from multi-epoch X-ray observations of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy ESO 362-G18 performed between November 2005 and June 2010. ESO 362-G18 generally exhibits the typica…
The size of the X-ray emitting region in SWIFT J2127.4+5654 via a broad line region cloud X-ray eclipse
Mario Sanfrutos, Giovanni Miniutti, Beatriz Agís-González +4
We present results obtained from the time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of the Narrow-Line-Seyfert 1 galaxy SWIFT J2127.4+5654 during a ~130 ks XMM-Newton observation. We reveal…
