Polarization Signatures of Rotating Black Holes in Perfect Fluid Dark Matter Spacetimes

Yu-Xiang Huang, Sen Guo, En-Wei Liang +2

Motivated by horizon-scale polarization observations of M87^{*}, we investigate polarized emission from rotating black holes (BHs) immersed in a perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM) ba…

IXPE view of the Crab pulsar following the 17 July and 6 August 2025 glitches

Paolo Soffitta, Niccolò Bucciantini, Josephine Wong +19

The Crab pulsar experienced two relatively small glitches separated by only 20 days in September and October 2025. IXPE observed the source twice, with delay times since the glitch…

Influence of quantum correction on the Schwarzschild black hole polarized image

Sen Guo, Yu-Xiang Huang, Kuan Liu +2

Using a model of an accretion disk around a Schwarzschild black hole, the analytic estimates for image polarization were derived by Narayan . [Astrophys. J, 102, 912 (2021)…
