IXPE detection of highly polarized X-rays from the magnetar 1E 1841-045

Michela Rigoselli, Roberto Taverna, Sandro Mereghetti +12

The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed for the first time highly polarized X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 1841-045, targeted after a burst-active phase in Augu…

Skipping a beat: discovery of persistent quasi-periodic oscillations associated with pulsed fraction drop of the spin signal in M51 ULX-7

Matteo Imbrogno, Sara Elisa Motta, Roberta Amato +24

The discovery of pulsations in (at least) six ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has shown that neutron stars can accrete at (highly) super-Eddington rates, challenging the standar…

On the nature of the 2.4 hr-period eclipsing cataclysmic variable W2 in 47 Tuc

R. Amato, N. La Palombara, M. Imbrogno +5

W2 (CXOGlb J002415.8-720436) is a cataclysmic variable (CV) in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Its modulation was discovered within the CATS@BAR project. The source shows…

Fast X-ray/IR observations of the black hole transient Swift~J1753.5--0127: from an IR lead to a very long jet lag

Alberto Ulgiati, Federico Maria Vincentelli, Piergiorgio Casella +16

We report on two epochs of simultaneous near-infrared (IR) and X-ray observations with a sub-second time resolution of the low mass X-ray binary black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-…

The restless population of bright X-ray sources of NCG 3621

A. Sacchi, M. Imbrogno, S. E. Motta +9

We report on the multi-year evolution of the population of X-ray sources in the nuclear region of NGC 3621 based on Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift observations. Among these, two sou…

The Orbit of NGC 5907 ULX-1

Andrea Belfiore, Ruben Salvaterra, Lara Sidoli +13

We report on the orbit of the binary system powering the most extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar known to date: NGC 5907 ULX-1 (hereafter ULX1). ULX1 has been the target of a subst…
