IXPE observation of the new magnetar source EP J223759.5+531421
Roberto Taverna, Lorenzo Marra, Roberto Turolla +9
We report on the detection of polarized X-ray emission from the new Galactic magnetar EP J223759.5+531421, discovered by the Einstein Probe Wide-field X-ray Telescope on 2026 June…
Magnetospheric birefringence breaks the rotating-vector model and depolarises X-ray pulsars
Alexander A. Mushtukov, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Silvia Zane +4
Accreting X-ray pulsars have long been expected to show large linear polarisation below the cyclotron resonance. In the standard picture, this follows from two facts: radiative opa…
A new NASA Pioneer: the Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX)
Herman L Marshall, Sarah N T Heine, Alan Garner +16
The Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX) is a spectropolarimeter for the soft X-ray band. GOSoX is based on the Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter…
The long quest for vacuum birefringence in magnetars: 1E 1547.0-5408 and the elusive smoking gun
Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla, Lorenzo Marra +7
Magnetars are now known to be among the most strongly polarized celestial sources in X-rays. Here we report on the observation of the magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 per…
Physics of Strong Magnetism with eXTP
Mingyu Ge, Long Ji, Roberto Taverna +47
In this paper we present the science potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission, in its new configuration, for studies of strongly magnetized compact obj…
Exploring polarization and geometry in the X-ray pulsar 4U 1538-52
Vladislav Loktev, Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov +12
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observations of accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) continue to provide novel insights into the physics and geometry of these sources. We p…
Exploring the Future of Soft X-ray Polarimetry: the Capabilities of the REDSoX Instrument for XDINS and Magnetar Studies
Ruth M. E. Kelly, Herman L. Marshall, Silvia Zane +5
X-ray polarimetry offers a unique window into neutron star physics and can provide answers to questions that cannot otherwise be probed. The up-and-coming REDSoX sounding rocket mi…
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…
X-ray polarisation signatures in bombarded magnetar atmospheres
Ruth M. E. Kelly, Denis González-Caniulef, Silvia Zane +2
Magnetars are neutron stars that host huge, complex magnetic fields which require supporting currents to flow along the closed field lines. This makes magnetar atmospheres differen…
X-ray Polarisation in Magnetar Atmospheres -- Effects of Mode Conversion
Ruth M. E. Kelly, Silvia Zane, Roberto Turolla +1
Magnetars, the most strongly magnetised neutron stars, are among the most promising targets for X-ray polarimetry. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the first satellit…
A Simultaneous Dual-site Technosignature Search Using International LOFAR Stations
Owen A. Johnson, Vishal Gajjar, Evan F. Keane +19
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence aims to find evidence of technosignatures, which can point toward the possible existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial l…
A strong X-ray polarization signal from the magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910
Silvia Zane, Roberto Taverna, Denis Gonzalez Caniulef +99
Magnetars are the most strongly magnetized neutron stars, and one of the most promising targets for X-ray polarimetric measurements. We present here the first Imaging X-ray Polarim…
