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…

First detection of polarization in X-rays for PSR B0540-69 and its nebula

Fei Xie, Josephine Wong, Fabio La Monaca +100

We report on X-ray polarization measurements of the extra-galactic Crab-like PSR B0540-69 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using a ~850 ks Imag…

X-Ray Polarimetry of the Dipping Accreting Neutron Star 4U 1624-49

M. Lynne Saade, Philip Kaaret, Andrea Gnarini +98

We present the first X-ray polarimetric study of the dipping accreting neutron star 4U 162449 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We report a detection of polari…

Discovery of a strong rotation of the X-ray polarization angle in the galactic burster GX 13+1

Anna Bobrikova, Sofia V. Forsblom, Alessandro Di Marco +106

Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show complex phenomenology with several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, boundary and/or spread…

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…
