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…
Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry
Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +97
Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randoml…
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…
Magnetic field geometry of the gamma-ray binary PSR B1259-63 revealed via X-ray polarization
Philip Kaaret, Oliver J. Roberts, Steven R. Ehlert +6
Some X-ray binaries containing an energetic pulsar in orbit around a normal star accelerate particles to high energies in the shock cone formed where the pulsar and stellar winds c…
Analysis of Crab X-ray Polarization using Deeper IXPE Observations
Josephine Wong, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Niccoló Bucciantini +98
We present Crab X-ray polarization measurements using IXPE data with a total exposure of 300ks, three times more than the initial 2022 discovery paper. Polarization is detected in…
X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143
We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…
An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing
James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu +134
We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwav…
Probing the polarized emission from SMC X-1: the brightest X-ray pulsar observed by IXPE
Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Juri Poutanen +101
Recent observations of X-ray pulsars (XRPs) performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have made it possible to investigate the intricate details of these objects i…
X-ray polarization measurement of the gold standard of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei : NGC 1068
F. Marin, A. Marinucci, M. Laurenti +102
We used the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite to measure, for the first time, the 2-8 keV polarization of NGC 1068. We pointed IXPE for a net exposure time of 1.1…
