Energy-independent X-Ray Polarization in 4U 1630-47 in the Intermediate State from Spectroscopy and Polarimetry

Elena Seifina, Lev Titarchuk, Paolo Soffitta +4

The IXPE mission enabled measurements of X-ray polarization in accreting binaries. The dependence of the X-ray polarization degree on the binary inclination and the optical depth o…
