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…
