X-ray polarization of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries -- II. Spectropolarimetric analysis

Andrea Gnarini, Francesco Ursini, Giorgio Matt +8

IXPE has provided for the first time detailed energy- and time-resolved X-ray polarimetry of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs) as they move along their color-c…
