X-Ray Polarized View on the Accretion Geometry in the X-Ray Binary Circinus X-1
John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco +101
Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric 16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state…
Highly Significant Detection of X-Ray Polarization from the Brightest Accreting Neutron Star Sco X-1
Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen +116
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measured with high significance the X-ray polarization of the brightest Z-source Scorpius X-1, resulting in the nominal 2-8 keV energy…
Discovery of a variable energy-dependent X-ray polarization in the accreting neutron star GX 5-1
Sergio Fabiani, Fiamma Capitanio, Rosario Iaria +116
We report on the coordinated observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS-LMXB) \gx in X-rays (IXPE, NICER, Nustar and INTEGRAL), optical (REM and LCO), near-infrared…
Polarized radiation from an accretion shock in accreting millisecond pulsars using exact Compton scattering formalism
Anna Bobrikova, Vladislav Loktev, Tuomo Salmi +1
Pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars can be used to determine neutron star (NS) parameters, such as their masses and radii, and therefore provide constraints on the equa…
Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701462
Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani +105
After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of i…
First detection of X-ray polarization from the accreting neutron star 4U 1820-303
Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Juri Poutanen +116
This paper reports the first detection of polarization in the X-rays for atoll-source 4U 1820-303, obtained with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) at 99.999% confidence…
