On the operation of X-ray polarimeters with a large field of view
Fabio Muleri
The measurement of the linear polarization is one of the hot topics of High Energy Astrophysics. Gas detectors based on photoelectric effect have paved the way for the design of se…
Probing magnetars magnetosphere through X-ray polarization measurements
Roberto Taverna, Fabio Muleri, Roberto Turolla +3
The study of magnetars is of particular relevance since these objects are the only laboratories where the physics in ultra-strong magnetic fields can be directly tested. Until now,…
Re-testing the JET-X Flight Module No. 2 at the PANTER facility
Daniele Spiga, Gianpiero Tagliaferri, Paolo Soffitta +19
The Joint European X-ray Telescope (JET-X) was the core instrument of the Russian Spectrum-X-gamma space observatory. It consisted of two identical soft X-ray (0.3 - 10 keV) telesc…
XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
Modelling the X-ray polarimetric signatures of complex geometry: the case study of the "changing look" AGN NGC 1365
Frederic Marin, Delphine Porquet, Rene W. Goosmann +4
"Changing look" Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are a subset of Seyfert galaxies characterized by rapid transitions between Compton-thin and Compton-thick regimes. In their Compton-th…
Characterization of scatterers for an active focal plane Compton polarimeter
Sergio Fabiani, Riccardo Campana, Enrico Costa +4
In this work we present an active Compton scattering polarimeter as a focal plane instrument able to extend the X-ray polarimetry towards hard X-rays. Other authors have already st…
