X-ray polarisation in AGN circumnuclear media. Polarisation framework and 2D torus models

Bert Vander Meulen, Peter Camps, Djordje Savic +3

Cold gas and dust reprocess the X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN), producing spectro-polarimetric features in the X-ray band. The recent launch of IXPE allows for obse…
