Vela pulsar wind nebula x-rays are polarized to near the synchrotron limit

Fei Xie, Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca +90

Pulsar wind nebulae are formed when outflows of relativistic electrons and positrons hit the surrounding supernova remnant or interstellar medium at a shock front. The Vela pulsar…

Mapping the circumnuclear regions of the Circinus galaxy with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

F. Ursini, A. Marinucci, G. Matt +94

We report on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observation of the closest and X-ray brightest Compton-thick active galactic nucleus (AGN), the Circinus galaxy. We find…

The X-ray Polarization View of Mrk~421 in an Average Flux State as Observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Laura Di Gesu, Immacolata Donnarumma, Fabrizio Tavecchio +100

Particle acceleration mechanisms in supermassive black hole jets, such as shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, are expected to have observable signatures in t…

Polarized Blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks

Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher, Iván Agudo +125

Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to $\sim 1…

Simultaneous space and phase resolved X-ray polarimetry of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula

Niccolò Bucciantini, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Matteo Bachetti +93

The Crab pulsar and its nebula are among the most studied astrophysical systems, and constitute one of the most promising environments where high energy processes and particle acce…

Determination of X-ray pulsar geometry with IXPE polarimetry

Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Sergey S. Tsygankov +91

Using observations of X-ray pulsar Her X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, we report on a highly significant () detection of the polarization signal from an accret…

Thinning and Multilevel Monte Carlo for Piecewise Deterministic (Markov) Processes. Application to a stochastic Morris-Lecar model

Vincent Lemaire, Michèle Thieullen, Nicolas Thomas

In the first part of this paper we study approximations of trajectories of Piecewise Deter-ministic Processes (PDP) when the flow is not explicit by the thinning method. We also es…

Exact simulation of the jump times of a class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes

Vincent Lemaire, Michèle Thieullen, Nicolas Thomas

In this paper, we are interested in the exact simulation of a class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMP). We show how to perform efficient thinning algorithms dependi…
