Anisotropic Particle Transport from a Pulsar Wind Nebula Revealed by Einstein Probe and LHAASO
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +339
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are major cosmic ray accelerators, yet the mechanisms transporting high-energy particles into the interstellar medium remain elusive. Building on the LHA…
Kes 75 with IXPE: Detection of Nebular X-ray Polarization and Change in Pulsar Lightcurve
Josephine Wong, Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani +16
We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of the PSR/PWN complex within SNR Kes 75. Two IXPE observations were conducted in October/November 2024 a…
Radio Study of G76.9+1.0 Pulsar Wind Nebula
Haotian Qiu, Yunlei Huang, C-Y. Ng +3
Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are key astrophysical laboratories for high energy phenomena. Specifically, radio observations and related polarimetry are essential probes to understand…
IXPE Observations of the Blazar Mrk 501 in 2022: A Multiwavelength View
L. Lisalda, E. Gau, H. Krawczynski +157
The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed on three occasions over a 4-month period between 2022 March and 2022 July with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In thi…
X-ray polarization in SN 1006 southwest shows spatial variations and differences with the radio band
Ping Zhou, Patrick Slane, Dmitry Prokhorov +15
We report the detection of a spatial variation of X-ray polarization in the southwestern shell of SN 1006 (SN 1006 SW) using IXPE. The shell has an average X-ray polarization degre…
