X-ray polarization measurement of the gold standard of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei : NGC 1068

F. Marin, A. Marinucci, M. Laurenti +102

We used the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite to measure, for the first time, the 2-8 keV polarization of NGC 1068. We pointed IXPE for a net exposure time of 1.1…
