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…
