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…
X-Ray Polarization from the Atoll 4U 1735-44 Suggests a Low Inclination
M. A. Díaz Teodori, A. Bobrikova, A. Gnarini +17
X-ray polarimetry is a new tool capable of probing the geometry of accretion onto weakly magnetized neutron stars. Here we present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results from…
Discovery of High X-Ray Polarization from the Neutron Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Cyg X-2 in the Horizontal Branch
Andrea Gnarini, Swati Ravi, Philip Kaaret +17
We present results from simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of the bright neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2, performed by the Imaging X-ray Pola…
X-ray polarization of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries -- I. Model-independent, time-resolved X-ray polarimetry
Andrea Gnarini, Francesco Ursini, Giorgio Matt +6
Z-sources are a particular class of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries characterized by a wide Z-like track in their hard colorsoft color (or hardness-intensity) diagrams, with t…
X-ray spectro-polarimetry analysis of the weakly magnetized neutron star X-ray binary GX 9+1
Antonella Tarana, Fiamma Capitanio, Andrea Gnarini +14
We present an X-ray spectro-polarimetric study of the weakly magnetized neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+1, utilizing data from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
First spectropolarimetric observation of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 3+1
Andrea Gnarini, Ruben Farinelli, Francesco Ursini +11
We report the first simultaneous X-ray spectropolarimetric observation of the bright atoll neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 3+1, performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Exp…
The IXPE View of Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
Francesco Ursini, Andrea Gnarini, Fiamma Capitanio +9
Low-mass X-ray binaries hosting weakly magnetized neutron stars (NS-LMXBs) are among the brightest sources in the X-ray sky. Since 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXP…
X-ray spectropolarimetry of the bright atoll Serpens X-1
F. Ursini, A. Gnarini, S. Bianchi +11
We present simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectral observations of the bright atoll source Ser~X-1 carried out with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), NICER, and N…
Polarization properties of weakly magnetized Neutron Stars in Low Mass X-ray Binaries
Andrea Gnarini, Francesco Ursini, Giorgio Matt +5
X-ray polarimetry missions like IXPE will be able to measure for the first time the polarization properties of accreting, weakly magnetized neutron stars in Low Mass X-ray Binaries…
